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.

Complete tangent but outside of the commonwealth, this game is referred to by the much less racist moniker “telephone”
I figured he was talking about Searle's Chinese room thought experiment. Searle sucks though, so that's probably also racist (in addition to being stupid.)
the reason to pick Chinese may be racist (possibly due to the writing system looking complicated) but the thought experiment itself doesn't have racist connotations imo, and i don't think it's stupid either. doesn't have to involve Chinese or a specific language at all.
it's a logical question to ask: if i can mimic speaking in a language to a point that it convinces native speakers, but don't understand what I'm saying myself, am I considered a genuine speaker of that language? does what i say matter or have any value?
well it appears like you’re posting english, but actually you’re posting nonsense
so the answer to your question is no
elaborate? what doesn't make sense?
no thanks
