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 love it when I randomly get a DM from some dude on Reddit because of a post I made six months ago mansplaining to me why I'm wrong about clowning on AI doomsters.
"HPMoR is canon - fact"
the moon could get mad - fact.
'the fact is they are right about some things'
Yes, which is a thing we agree on, as Rationalwiki says "The good bits are not original and the original bits are not good", problem is that none of the things mentioned before their last statement hold up. We don't know 1 is possible. (Also note that 1 isn't just 1, but actually 5+ points).
Anyway unhinged reddit DM's are always something.
e: eurgh, looked into their post history. They are into making AI porn games. Also they are quite dumb., yes lets ask the magical AI if a thing is true. Ah turns out it told me that OpenAI is the greatest company in the world and there have been no controversies ever. (They also have some opinions about jewish people and trans people in the sinfest subreddit)
That's a weird place to have some opinions about jewish and trans people. I like to look at the sinfest subreddit every now and then and that sub really likes to sneer at people who have weird opinions on those topics (such as the author of the titular webcomic).
It seems a bit of a contrarian sinfest defender. Which causes them to mention some iffy things. Which the r/sinfest admins then delete after downvotes it seems.
Writing "fact" after a statement doesn't magically make it one, bub
my mental voice for the DM sender keeps switching between “board game store inhabitant who spent way too much on warhammer shit and noticed you’re 3D printing your miniatures” and “flat earth convention keynote speaker” but it’s Reddit so a cursory investigation might reveal they’re both
I just enjoy that masters chief is like attorneys general.
Do you think tiny master chief is a Flat Ringer? Like if he's so smol, maybe it's hard for him to see the curve (fact)
My mental voice for DM guy is Augustus St. Cloud from Venture Bros.
"we are likely... fact" is just a special kind of stupid
Oh man, anyone who runs on such existential maximalism has such infinite power to state things as if their conclusion has only one possible meaning.
How about invoking Monkey Paw -- what if every statement is true but just not in the way they think.
And yud can both one day technically right and whose interpretations today are dumb and worthy of mockery.
A map is not the territory, but every territory is, in a sense, a map of itself.
