I wasn't sure so I asked chatgpt. The results will shock you! Source

On bsky you are required to post proof of cat, here at e/acc you are required to post proof of googly roomba

lol ow sorry, yeah that is even worse.

Yes there certainly is a skill to running a business (some of it applies to all businesses, some skills are business type specific, runnign a research lab is different from running a franchise vs running the company on top of the franchises vs SV style tech companies etc). What makes it sneerable for me is that PG only sees the later as valuable, and then makes up a Rationalist style binary option for managers which is also nebulous as fuck. It is the sparkling elites + hedgehog/fox style thing.

It also feels very post hoc, you have founder mindset if your company is 'successful' (that he picked Airbnb as an example caused me to eyeroll so hard my optic nerve now has a knot in it). The talking about being gaslit now means I have a Gordian optic nerve.

Yes but does he have founder spirit?

Sure Andrew Eldritch claims he is not Goth, but he certainly has Goth spirit.

Yeah that reads as a cry for help. (But I doubt it is, he prob just feels like he is onto something with a righteous/spiritual feeling.)

And well, he could even be onto something, he could become quite popular, peterson had the same sort of feeling (it is in the foreword of one of his books) and look how big he got. He certainly got more followers than I have. ;)

Well there is something to be said for just trying to make a new system yourself, as a hobby/thought experiment. So I'm not totally opposed to creating something that already exists. It is just weird he thinks he has something new and shining and good here, and not babbies first attempt at creating a voting system. (insert 'wow things are complicated' xkcd here).

Him not realizing (or not caring) about him being completely unoriginal while thinking he is hot shit is funny though. Shit having a certain amount of sycophants must suck so much, as it removes any ability to truly judge if you are being dumb or not, as there will always be a revolving door of those who kiss your ass.

yes, i actually never learned how to capitalize properly, they told me to use capslock and shift, but that makes all the letters come out small still. thanks chatgpt.

Are you ready to capitalize on generative AI?

Hell yeah!

I'm gonna do it: GENERATIVE AI. Look at that capitalization.

Not really a sneer, but just a random thought on the power cost of AI. We are prob under counting the costs of it if we just look at the datacenter power they themselve use, we should also think about all the added costs of the constant scraping of all the sites, which at least for some sites is adding up. For example (And here there is also the added cost of the people needing to look into the slowdown, and all the users of the site who lose time due to the slowdown).

Easy, the cables go into the space elevator. Why do you all have to be so negative, don't you have any vision for the future?

You joke, but my startup is actually moving forward on this concept. We already made a prototype time travel machine which while only being able to travel forward does so at a promising stable speed (1). The advances we made have been described by the people on our team with theoretical degrees in physics as simply astonishing, and awe-inspiring. We are now in an attempt to raise money in a series B financing round, and our IPO is looking to be record breaking. Leave the past behind and look forward to the future, invest in our timetravel company xButterfly.
