Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Looks like every other pic. Weird and wrong.
irunno, that photographer deserves a goddamn fucking bonus imo
(as a shooter of random moments) it is extremely hard to catch things/moments like that. it's helped along by gear (faster capture time, lenses that suit distance ootb, etc etc), but it's still no fucking around
and that photo is a goddamned masterpiece of capturing a probably-quite-rarely-seen moment of derpitude from that fuckwit
Mirror universe Derek Zoolander
They probably just rolled with continuous mode.
Moments of derpitude are everywhere, pause your favorite video creator sometime
did you fucking not read the bit where I said it’s helped by gear
Blah blah blah faster capture time, what are you even talking about lol. It's extremely easy to capture this at 30fps, go fuck yourself
You know what? "Go fuck yourself" is way out of line for a conversation about cameras. Bye now.
first time I employed local block (yay for fedi shit having this), heh
ah, a well-reasoned and thoughtful response, delivered with class and eloquence. truly awe-inspiring in its brilliance. not at all like someone who got realmad for being called out
For being aware of the "keep shooting as long as I hold the button down" mode? Oh God no...
What if we didn't bully anyone for how they looked, including the rich and intelligent and those of questionable morality?
Yeah this billionaire techbro of future dystopia is so bullied. His sister would know.
What if we didn’t forge a relevant equivalence for every criticism in order to negate it?
I believe she's telling the truth. Why not mention that instead?
I guess I think bullying one person based on looks makes it easier to bully another second person based on looks, even if the first person is a jerk. It just makes a culture in which that's acceptable.
It’s more a commentary on photo editors, really. Honestly just like they’re going to run a picture of Taylor Swift for the Ticketmaster story, they’re going to find (easily, apparently) a goofy picture of OpenAIguy to run next to his stories.
I’m not bullying anyone, least of all this billionare crypto pinhead. I’m being mean, yes but if that’s your beef then I dunno what to tell ya. There are some people it’s okay to be mean to in public forums where they’re not present. (Are you Sam? Hey if so, you suck, otherwise please disregard, I’m sure you(not-Sam) are quite nice.)
there’s also the part where all too often stans go “waaaaaah you can’t be mean [to my hero] just about a photo, that’s not fair!!” and it’s generally not good to let that shit slide either
I wonder if the esteemed poster would say the same thing about all the coverage of musk’s bumbling fuckery that also use photos which show him at all the times he didn’t have the situation pre-cultivated to capitalize on it and send a lying image
Also that person created their account 14 hours ago and has been posting continuously, like where do they find the time to do stuff like this? EDIT: It's also hilarious that they responded to someone actually being demeaned for their appearance like half an hour before coming here. That totally makes you the good guy standing up for these injustices.
No, I am not Sam.
You are commenting on how he looks to be mean. That's bullying.
I know it's hard for you to get, but it makes it more socially acceptable for someone else to bully someone who might look a bit nerdy, perhaps a young computer nerd who you would.find morally pure. I doubt Sam woukd care or reads lemmy, but it creates a climate in which this is socially acceptable.
It’s hard for you to get that Sam is a public figure. Your tone policing is well-meant but you have no jurisdiction here.
yeah I’m deleting your posts cause this is just the paradox of tolerance and you know it
