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.

I eat very little meat these days, and I'd be happy to have lab-grown as an option. Even if it's more expensive and not produced at the same scale
at least make a pretense of having read the article instead of very obviously reacting to the headline jfc
The article itself does mention that creating cultured meat is already possible, just that the limits of the technology presently known for doing it make creating it at the same cost as regular meat infeasible. Which technically doesn't contradict with what the person you replied to said, because the commenter didn't exactly say how expensive or niche they expected it to be, so even something like a hundred dollar hamburger that doesn't replace a significant fraction of food consumption but does exist as a novelty luxury for someone that had the money to spend on animal protein once in a blue moon, fits.
fwiw the post this is replying to originally didn't have the phrase "instead of very obviously reacting to the headline," I edited that in later. without the edit I think it does come across like I thought zweibel was contradicting some specific point in the article. not true, b/c they didn't address the article at all
