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.

Many on the Dudesy Reddit believe that it’s entirely made up, with some suggesting that even the Carlin special was written by Kultgen. I definitely think that generative AI was used here, because even though it’s crap, there is somehow a great deal of it.

Maybe it's time for me to see the world and update my priors on this but I haven't seen evidence of a generative AI constructing a joke. Based on that evidence, if the special (which I have not seen and refuse to see) contains jokes, I would imagine it was mostly written by human, with maybe some assistance to pad it out to an hour of material. Either way, fuck the whole thing.
