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.

It's a more than fair assessment of the claims of usefulness of AI which are more or less "fire all your devs this machine is better than them already"
And the other "nuanced" take, common on my linkedin feed, is that people who learn how to use (useless) AI are gonna replace everyone with their much increased productive output.
Even if AI becomes not so useless, the only people whose productivity will actually improve are the people who aren't using it now (because they correctly notice that its a waste of time).
