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.

If the great AI swindle has taught us anything, is that what's good for normal people isn't really important when all the macro-economic incentives point the other way and towards the pockets of the ultra rich.

As of April 2025, only 17% of Americans thought AI would have a positive effect on the US over the next 20 years. Only 23% thought AI would be positive for how people do their jobs.
