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.

This isn’t a particularly novel stupid take, but it was made by a bluesky engineer, and it is currently dunking-on-bluesky season so here we are.
“If you imagine that an ai is a person, then saying bad things about it is bigotry”
Welp, they’ve got me there. Guess I’ll never say anything bad about anything again, because it is racism, if you think about it.

A bluesky post by dystopiabreaker.xyzAnd two replies by hailey.at
'some of the most bigoted things'
You mean stuff like 'no this is stupid, wtf is wrong with you' or 'lol, look they really think LLMs are alive' stuff like that? The worst I saw (granted I didn't look very hard) was 'ok boomer'.
Of course actual meanings of words mean nothing to AI fans.
(Also, thing which is a personal gripe, the skeet before the 'bigotry neuron' has 2 images in it, without alt text. If you are going to pretend to value progressive values, at least put in some effort).
Said engineer's also brainstorming new ways to spy on users and adding a new misfeature that scans everything you post, in direct response to getting clowned on.
Ah, the beauty of the fundamental theorem of concern-troll linguistics. If you can change the words in a sentence so that the new sentence is racist, the original must be as well. Example:
Aaron: The weather is just ok.
Baron: OMG. I can’t believe you just said that. What if I changed the noun and adjective, like this: “ is ”. Go home and think about what you did.
(an exception can be made for people repurposing real-world slurs and putting a techy spin on them. fuck directly off with “wireback” and similar shit)
i read that there was one based on a mexican-slur, but i couldn't think of it
spent weeks trying to rhyme "wet" with something, couldn't come up with it, damn i guess i'm not a poet at least i know it
"wire"
fuck me that is so lazy
If I imagine that my butt is a rocket, then I can fart my way to the moon
