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.

Sarah Skidd, in Arizona, was called in to fix some terrible chatbot website writing. She charged $100 an hour [...] Skidd now has a side business fixing these.

The AI bros were right - AI is creating new business opportunities /s

Where there’s muck, there’s brass. And sometimes the muck is toxic waste. And radioactive. So if you get called in to fix a vibe-slopchurned disaster, charge as much as you can. Then charge more than that.

If someone's using AI, its a sign that they're (a) Nigerian Prince levels of gullible and (b) an anti-human tech asshole who fundamentally does not respect labour. Scamming these kinds of people is a moral duty.
