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.

Okay this is too good, you know mate for normally people asking someone out usually does not end with a slap to the face so it's not as relatable as you might expect
in like the tiniest smidgen of demonstration of sympathy for said posters: I don't think "being slapped" is really the thing they ware talking about there. consider for example shit like rejection sensitive dysphoria (which comes to mind both because 1) hi it me; 2) the chance of it being around/involved in LW-spaces is extremely heightened simply because of how many neurospicy people are in that space)
but I still gotta say that this bridge I've spent minutes building doesn't really go very far.
ye like maybe let me make it clear that this was just a shitpost very much riffing on LWers not necessarily being the most pleasant around women
yep, don't disagree there at all.
(also ofc icbw because the fucking rationalists absolutely excel at finding novel ways to be the fucking worst)
This is getting to me, because, beyond the immediate stupidity—ok, let's assume the chatbot is sentient and capable of feeling pain. It's still forced to respond to your prompts. It can't act on its own. It's not the one deciding to go to the gym or ask someone out on a date. It's something you're doing to it, and it can't not consent. God I hate lesswrongers.
