This is an infrequent sub for Silicon Valley dumbassery, Sam Altman or Paul Graham or HN reactionaries or the rest of the spawn of the Californian Ideology who aren't actually the LessWrongers.

Originally an offshoot from SneerClub, created due to off-topic orange-sitery.

Probably a lot of equalizing being done by drivers-by browsing "all". Techtakes and sneerclub could still shake out back to the old ratios if/when things calm down and "all" gets captured by less niche subs. Or maybe not.

not even slightly, techtakes was a tiny backwater sub that basically never took off.

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.
