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.

Lol look at the reception on HN.

First off it was too cool and real to be allowed by their rules*, so there are like six [flagged][dead] copies, then Dang allowed it through with the title Please Don't Mention AI Again, as a weird attempt at humor, and then half the comments were all just about how aggressive the article's tone is.

Basically: what a bunch of squares.

* Actually I just read through the rules and it doesn't actually violate any of them, but I guess there are unwritten rules too.

"is hn being attacked?" (source)

ah, yes, it cannot possibly be that people actually liked the post that takes aim at the glorious and correct thing that is chatgpt telling you to guzzle drain cleaner for a minty fresh smile. no, it can obviously only be an attack. that's totes the most likely thing, outstripping all others.

No doubt this is because the title is a tad afoul of the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) so we had to change it. I thought it would be amusing to change it to something as meek and passive-aggressive as the original is, er, forthright, so I did.

what a terrible fucking moderator. the original title doesn’t violate any of these guidelines (it’s not clickbait by any real definition of the term) so dang and the orange site’s shitty community decided to try and limit the article’s impact by flagging it (which didn’t work) and editorializing its title (which has search indexing and discoverability implications beyond just being lame as fuck and an enforcement of a rule that dang hallucinated)

half the comments were all just about how aggressive the article’s tone is

ah. I’ll brace for even more orange site fuckwits to come here and try and tone police Ludic’s writing
