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.

oh boohoo Beff let me play a sad song for you on the world's smallest violin
The number of bitter fascist weirdos kicking Beff (of all people) while he's down sure is something.
No honor among thieves i reckon.
Isnt part of the fasc idea space the whole idea that the strong are worthy and would be rewarded and rise to the top the world just got away of all the rules pushing the unworthy? Clearly this means that as he is in trouble he is unworthy himself and now a target.
Esp as you can get a social boost by stepping on him on your way up.
The loneliest ideology.
As always with these people, note that the replies make frequent reference to "loopholes" and people "exploiting the system" without ever being specific about what those loopholes are.
I don't know Guillaume Verdon / Beff Jezos but Forbes' profile begins:
He has an entry on the Effective Accelerationism wiki https://www.eaccwiki.com/index.php?title=Beff_Jezos
He is supposed to be the original instigator and public face of so-called e/acc or effective accelarationism, i.e. the rationalist (or maybe rationalist inspired idk) spin-off of people who feel whinging about alignment isn't necessary and that it's in fact awesome when new technology is killing people and ruining the environment because it means we're getting to the singularity faster, and also openly rooting for fascism on main is based now.
His magic heatless AI processor startup feels like a grift to fleece investors and as far as I know has only ever produced an obviously staged video of sciency looking individuals fawning over a 3d printed wire mesh while touring what looks like a chip fab with an extremely lax contamination protocol.

xheet is deleted, was is Beff Jezoz who wrote that? background? though he was as American as ~~apple pie~~the Ku Klux Klan
Forbes says he is Quebecois with a PhD from UWaterloo. That does not stop him tweeting about "foreigners" (= foreign to the USA, but not including him obviously).
I'm sure he'll enjoy being deported back to la République populaire démocratique de Quebec and spending a short time in the reeducations camps before being set to work installing solar panels
