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.

*intonation inferred by me, an intellectual
Yeah, it would be a real shame if a war started in which our product would be commissioned en masse. Why, we wouldn't be able to make enough cash to dry our tears from all the sadness!
bro just one more war bro, bro I swear just one more war and it'll save countless lives bro
that sentence sent me. you literally named the company ares bro
there's no way on gods' green earth they go that far as two, maybe even five dudes in a shed. they want to grift on DoD research grant, or maybe hype this bs up and sell startup that's all
they're not even looking for a microwave engineer and that thing needs both comms and an entire ass radar in guidance section for it to work. they're not even half serious. they're just at the beginning of a very long journey between asking "hey why is this shit so expensive" and getting the answer the hard way
Absolutely. In any case, the DoD spending money on anything is already bad.
i think there might be a few people in eastern europe that would disagree with this sentiment
It is an unfortunate fact thatsomeone is going to have the biggest stick. USA/NATO absolutely should be criticized for how our military has been used and what we've sacrificed domestically in order to have that, but I'm pretty sure a world where Russia or China have had the biggest stick over the last few decades is markedly less peaceful, less just, and less free than the current status quo.
You don't understand, let me reason it from first principles. The Olympics are good for world peace, everybody comes together, we have some fun races some nations win some lose, we all go home happy and pretend it was our nation that won in spirit. Ergo races are good. Therefore an arms race is also good. It will save countless of lives, they are like the Olympics, Ares was the god of peace really (I asked chatgpt).
According to books, which are smart and true, war is peace, so this is true!
Sorry my nootropics regime doesn't allow me to read books, but I asked some chatbots and they agreed with you. I'm also going to have to buy a new calculator, because according to the chatbots the math on my calc is wrong.
this is an entire type of person and I keep meeting instances of them
Well, I think that any self improvement group when going on long enough will run out of ideas and will go into 'we should do book summaries and then read them to each other so we can optimize the amount of books we read'. So it went a bit from there. It is a scary odd pattern, where they all hype knowledge (esp in a reactionary way, so 'the old books'(which those are is left to the reader)), but refuse to actually read full books.
Dogshit writing as well, “we would never wish for a war to occur”, read that sentence back in a mirror to me
opening sentence contains two lies and it only gets worse from there
I knew they were writing under fake names
sus
This isn’t a joke either. Read it back in the mirror. To ME. What do you think you see when you look in the mirror? WRONG.
