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.

Three scenes and a comment:
Me sitting in the baking heat in my garden, thinking about my own anxiety about climate change (we currently have our 2nd once-in-a-thousand-years record-breaking heatwave in 2 weeks in Europe), food shortages, instability and genocide in the middle east and the rise of the far right across western democracy.
I see another story: some AI bros posting about their "anxiety" about AI being the end of human labour and jobs whilst posing for selfies in their fancy digital nomad resort.
I'm still sweating and scrolling from my garden... I see a quote about how we have to pick between the climate and AI...
We live in the dumbest and darkest timeline if we cannot collectively see the obvious course of action here. Social media, souped up by LLMs has collectively cooked our brains and hyper-segmented us into tiny echo chambers that don't have enough gravity to affect change. We need to break out of it
“We have to pick between the climate or AI”
No we don’t??? One problem directly affects the other. Stopping AI data centre build-out helps with climate change.
I choose to read this as “you have to choose which to destroy”
Then hand me that hammer and let’s get to smashing those data centres
This kind of humanity-affirming infrastructure work is illegal in most western jurisdictions
