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.

I don't know anything about a Blake Stacey, but from context clues I'm assuming she's one of those Quantum Mysticism nut jobs. Naw I don't go for that sort of thing, and neither should anybody with even a single crumb of common sense.
Free Advice: If anyone says they're going to heal you with "Quantum Healing", it's code for "I have no medical training, and if you listen to me, you're going to die horribly."
I get claims about Quantum Mechanics being involved with consciousness are a little sus, but given Penrose's pedigree, history, and reputation and how much the science seems to check out I trust him. I know many have their doubts about the Orch-OR theory, but after doing a lot of reading up on it I think it reasonable to conclude that the reason it hasn't been more widely embraced is due to quacks like Deepak Chopra and his ilk poisoning the well with his talk of "Quantum Consciousness"
Psst, check the usernames of the people in this thread!
Who needs usernames when you have "context clues" instead? :-P
If it helps, I know who you are and will still happily tell you incorrect information about yourself and your profession if asked to!
Wow, I guess humans and LLMs aren't so different after all!
