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 cost of simply retrieving an answer from the Web is infinitely smaller than the cost of generating a new one.

Great interview with Sasha Luccioni from Huggingface on all the ways that using generative AI for everything is both a) hugely costly compared to existing methods, and b) insane.

What, you want to tell me I'm somehow obligated to exactly know where and how every service I use is produced?

Talk about a horrible take.

it's not “hating your post history”, it's just realisation that you're a shitty debatelord and talking to you is waste of time.

And yet you're talking to me... To prove some point perhaps? Feel free to ignore or block me if you don't like my posts.
