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.

just a peeve
here's a personal blogpost on LW entitled "Three types of AI risk: why (some) leftists are against (some) AI regulations" (by "sudo-nym" which I admit is a great nick)
First sentence
OK Mr Sudo-Nym, if that is your real name, imma gonna stop you right there
Which "factions"?
Are these factions actually in existence, or are they just Xhitter/Bluesky handles? If you're provide like, I dunno, sources, we could maybe evaluate this ourselves. It would also clarify whether these are US leftists as opposed to leftists in other countries which are in my experience a bit more attuned to both political realities and have a more theoretical foundation.
As it is it feels as if you're fighting windmills in your imagination.
Commenters point out that the "frontier labs" are actually raging capitalists so there's that.
The factions exist and those are the hardcore anarchists.
A real electoral powerhouse.
(Aka a few guys on bsky with 10k followers max total).
And I say that as somebody who feels anarchist aligned.
Most of rationalism seems to be "Making up a guy and getting mad at him" doesn't it?
but but but don't call it strawmanning!!!!
My real opponent lives in Canada. And no, you can't meet him.
