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.

The great thing about using AI to search for aliens is that it'll find them, whether there's any out there or not.

I remember reading not to long ago about people having AI as girlfriends.

And then the company behind it made the AI girlfriends less horny unless you paid for the premium plan.

This is the Blade Runner 2024 made to the best of our abilities

The blade runner we have at home

We already know how to solve the climate crisis. We just don’t want to because it would cost too much, inconvenience us, and really upset the shareholders.

The only reason to ask AI would be like asking the butler to take out the trash, we just can’t be bothered to do even that much work and want to hit the “easy” button.

Sounds about right. And I'm sure at least half of them are just click bait while the others are wishful thinking. Or just sad...
