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.

Nice conversation you had right there in your head

that you recognize none of this is telling. that someone else got it, more so.

I assume

you could just ask, you know. since you seem so comfortable fondling prompts, not sure why you wouldn't ask a person. is it because they might tell you to fuck off?

I’ve taken a closer look...

fuck off with the unrequested advertising. never mind that no-one asked you for how you felt for some fucking piece of shit. oh, you feel happy that the logo is a certain tint of ? bully for you, now fuck off and do something worthwhile

That makes it a good tool

a tool you say? wow, sure glad you're going to replace your *spins the wheel* Punctured Car Tyre with *spins the wheel again* Needlenose Pliers!

think I’m some AI worshipper, fuck no. They’re amoral as fuck

so, you think there's moral problems, but only sometimes? it's supes okay to do your version of leveraged exploitation? cool, thanks for letting us know

those very few truly FOSS ones

oh yeah, right, the "truly FOSS ones"! tell me again how those are trained - who's funding that compute? are the licenses contextually included in the model definition?

wait, hold on! why are you squealing away like a deflating balloon?! those are actual questions! you're the one who brought up morals!

Otherwise you’ll end up in a social corner filled with bitterness

I've met people like you at parties. they're often popular, but they're never fun. and I always regret it.

There are technologies that are utter bullshit like NFTs. However (unfortunately?) that isn’t the case for AI

citation. fucking. needed.
