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.

Things I don't want to know more about: there's a reasonable theory that Eigenrobot is influencing USA politics; certain magic numbers in Eigen's tweets have been showing up in some of the protectionism coming out of the White House. Stubbing this mostly in the hope that somebody else feels like doing the research.
Zitron catching strays in the comments for having too much of a bullying tone, I guess against billionaires and tech writers, and being too insistent on his opinion that the whole thing makes no financial sense. It's also lamented that the entire field of ML avoids bsky because it has a huge AI hostility problem.
Concern trolling notwithstanding, the eigenrobot stuff is worrisome though, if not specifically for him about how extremely online the ideological core of the administration seems to be, as close to the lunatics running the asylum as you'll get in a modern political setting.
