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.

To lightly paraphrase Yahtzee Croshaw:
Short answer: No. Long answer: No, and go fuck yourselves, you ignorant hype-mongering cockbags.
This is the second time this rancid idea has been put forward, and its just as morally bankrupt as the first.
What, are you telling me you’re not prepared to share your most intimate details with elon musk’s edgelord/waifu simulator in order to let it pretend to be you well enough to fool a bunch of professionals who should know better, and let it decide whether you should live or die? With a marketing pitch like that, who could possibly refuse?
I know full well you're being sarcastic, but my answer is an emphatic "NO". I feel like I'm gonna need a lobotomy to get this hypothetical out my head now.
Yahtzee, now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
Guy's been doing well for himself since the Escapist imploded in 2023 - he's doing video reviews and video essays over on Second Wind, under the names Fully Ramblomatic and Semi Ramblomatic, respectively.
(As for the Escapist, it got sold off to a "private investor" and turned into a gambling content mill in 2025)
