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.

We’re gonna burn our planet

We? Or maybe just a handful of tech bros with too much money.

I mean, arguably, yes, but I meant more "we" as in "humanity as a whole."

Sure, plenty of us don't actually get a choice in what is happening, but outwardly, you would attribute it to the human species, even if it was only a subset of the human species. Mosquitoes and bedbugs aren't responsible for the destruction of the planet, although it would be nice to be able to blame them.
