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.

I’m more familiar with vox day than I’d really like. He hasn’t pivoted from the culture war stuff that he’s known for, but he has branched out into ai music and video these days.
@rook I am immensely proud that some years ago I made a list VD blogged of "ten SF publishing people whose chromed skulls I want as desk ornaments".
It's good to be hated by the *worst* people. And it's totes on brand for him to be filling his empty mind with AI slop.
Top-tier resume material
Not sure if you are aware of the work of the youtuber hbomberguy, but he had a video on some manosphere guys where said 'what is it with these people and skulls' when he noticed that david auroni always had his pet skull in each shot.
The main thing I knew him for is his failed attempt to hijack the Hugo Awards back in 2015.
(There's a r/HobbyDrama post about the whole debacle, which I recommend checking out)
That is actually an example of what im talking about, he didnt create the sad puppies, he latched on to it and created the rabid puppies. See the weird latching on behavior.
HA, and people thought the whole 'AI generation is the tool of fascism' was a joke.
Vox Day, the living embodiment of Dashiell Hammett's line, "The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter".
