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.

I haven't seen any issues from this instance. Actually, now we're talking about it, I see very, very few AI and crypto bros on Lemmy.

It's actually very nice.

... There are people on lemmy who think "AI" has merit? Almost everything I see is how shit it is. Which I thought was, well... because it IS shit.

Honestly waiting for them to show up and post their absolutely rancid takes is about 20-40% of the fun of this place

Shilling AI has much fewer downsides that walking on coals I guess

Overall a bit too on the nose for my taste, but the final sentence brought it back, stellar landing.
