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.

Nice to get a look on the inside from one of the 21st-century Oppenheimers.
lol, that's too charitable to them, nukes at least work
continuing this tortured analogy for no particular reason:
oppenheimer/sutskever: we finally have a nuke to drop on nazisgroves/?: nazis?
teller/saltman: at long last, we have a chatbot capable of polluting the entire earth and internet
szilard/EY: and that's why we shouldn't build it (gets ignored)
teller/saltman: also we need billions of dollars for it and effects will be the same if it's deployed in backyard
musk would be general ripper i guess, they had no ketamine back then. deepseek is new dubna and both caused diplomatic incidents. thiel would be one of these people that didn't focus on that thing but instead on other things that make the former work (enablers) that would be missiles and surveillance
And Oppie realised the gravity of their invention. And he was trying to end the Second World War with them, not make money by causing untold suffering.
Nukes and AI both represented a new and unique threat capable of causing worldwide devastation, so I'd say the analogy works pretty well.
when bubble pops, chatbots will vanish but nukes will remain for a long time
Sloppenheimer
I much prefer the Whoppenheimer.
