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.

Yeah, I intentionally only mentioned the start of the article and the Swartz bit because I didn't want to lead with what I thought of it all, and was curious what others thought. (And I had not finished it yet because it is a bit long).
I was struck with the notion how many of them are all true AGI believers (which as you said the author took at face value) or rich greedy assholes (like you said), and how we, the people of the sneer, are right that you simply can't work with these people. Like I feel more validated in the idea that EA is not the right way.
Another detail I noticed, nobody mentioned deepseek, again.
I hadn't even thought about the deepseek angle. For all that everyone loved fear mongering about them for a while there and for all that their apparent desire for actual efficiency improvements was a welcome development in the hyper scaling discussion they don't seem to get referenced much anymore.
