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.

Reads more like a smear piece, especially when there’s just a cherry picked quote or two with no links to the actual speech.

[–] sailor_sega_saturn@awful.systems 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

For links to California AI primary sources there was only:

A link to the press release
A link to the policy paper
A link to the executive order
A link to the Joint California Summit on Generative AI website
A link to a press release from the Joint California Summit on Generative AI
A link to a youtube video from the Joint California Summit on Generative AI
A link to the press release about a CA / Nvidia AI collaboration
A link to the blockchain executive order

So poorly cited! Mr. Gerard don't you know that if it's not in video form it doesn't exist for people raised on TikTok?? SMH.

if it’s not in video form

Actually this isn’t enough. It needs to be read by a monotone TTS or deepfaked voice with minecraft, subway surfer, or fortnite gameplay underlaid to penetrate brain rot

also, for some reason, it’s a split screen video and the right half is a sped up cooking video or someone playing with slime

Every quote has the source linked following, you bloviating fuckwit

I admit to being conflicted. I try to keep more positive on Lemmy to avoid the psychological traps of social media outage. However, I do enjoy well-phrased and well-deserved insults.

oh how fortunate are we to have you, valorous AnomalousBit of programming dot motherfucking dev, to wander past our village and cast upon us the shining beacon of your intellect

truly, without your timely help we would have been at sea, unable to find veracity in the words of the yon governer gavin newsom, be they branded on the scriptures of office or no! oh woe betide us should your clear insight into this most nebulous matter not have come our way this fair day!

now please get back the fuck on the road where you came from and keep your idiotic opinions to yourself. or, y'know, learn to read. both work
