I'm torn on this too, I think Torres et consortes are dignifying these idiots way too much by highlighting their views and in some ways taking them seriosuly. It's an inadvertent form of critihype. Wholesale ridicule is the order of the day! On the other hand, before the Scientology papers reveal (god that was so long ago) the CoS was seen as weird but legitimate. When more and more people discovered Xenu, the Sea Org, and how people could be designated "unpersons", the view slwoly shifted.

I guess both serious criticism and pointing and laughing are needed.

In a couple of generations of LLMs ChatGPT will tell you you can just draw your own stamps and it will be perfectly legal.

Obviously you should self-radicalize to demand summary execution of bike thieves.

Only good thing about that submission to HN was that I learned about al pastor, which sounds delish.

If your turds are lovingly polished by highly trained artisans, they're still shit.

I've never heard of this outfit. Is it a sort of skepticsphere darling?

I don't get a feel that PG is a stereotypical AI booster, but I do think his visceral distaste for getting a pitch he thinks is written with the help of an LLM is quite funny. Maybe if he'd been a bit more harsh towards his fellow VCs this wouldn't have happened.

This will include dudes with multiple uterii in their freezer but they're probably outliers.

Woo, complaining about a community note is big Karen energy.

True, but it's recently crossed the pond to Silicon Valley. I think it was when the DMA affected Apple that a lot of hackernews became EU regulation experts and started grappling with the fact that laissez-faire is seen as a dirty word in the country where it originated.

This was entertaining as heck.

FWIW I'm pretty colloquial in my English, but I do enjoy employing slightly unusual Swedish words. The writer Peter Englund (not especially ancient) is good at unearthing archaic words.
