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.

yes thanks for reminding me that the US is the center of the known universe and that all morality and allowances of anything ever should be modelled on events there. I almost forgot!
Using it for ML training would also be illegal in the EU under GDPR.
But this already exists. My colleague had to submit a video self-interview when applying to Goldman Sachs, the pillar of morality and ethics in the corporate world.
I didn't intend to make any comment on morality. US law seems relevant given that it's near-impossible to find one of these nonsense AI startups that isn't either in the US or targeting US customers. Indeed, this one looks to be based in Los Angeles.
I literally stated that the thing I was referencing in my comment (that you replied to) was from ZA. but I appreciate your doubled-down US-centrism in your second reply. nice job! glad you can remind me again! I must've forgotten about it in the handful of hours since you last did it!
@froztbyte @Eiim "ZA" is not a country abbreviation that many united statians know, at least from my anecdotal experience.
I'm familiar enough with country codes that I do know what ZA means, but in the context I didn't realize that it was referring to a country, I thought it was just an abbreviation I wasn't familiar with. In retrospect that probably should have stood out to me more.
"knowing about ZA as the ISO code" is not, in fact, the thing I was addressing there :)
