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.

"The sad thing is that if the officer had not made a few key missteps … he might have covered his bases well enough to avoid consequences." Yeah, so sad.

my favorite orange site minigame is figuring out if the infomercial bullshit a poster keeps namedropping is an ordinary grift or an actual cult (both are common — this is VC culture we’re talking about after all)

I don’t know how to categorize this one. outwardly it’s a jokey baby care book for new parents who lean a bit too hard into fucking loving science, but I can’t shake the icky feeling I’m getting from a bunch of the book supposedly being cognitive tests and the need to benchmark your own flesh and blood like a video card? yeah typing this out I’m starting to drift towards this being weird cult shit
