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 didn't "read" read, but I skimmed through it, and the core premise doesn't seem that much better.
I'm anti regulatory capture, which shouldn't be a complicated stance, but the government just isn't actively suppressing new tech industries. They're slow and reactionary.
They didn't regulate junk crypto shit until way after people got scammed out of millions of dollars, and that regulation is mostly about exchanges involved real money being documented and taxed.
They are trying to regulate "AI", (and mostly shouldn't, except energy use) but again, after it became a massive industry with billions of dollars thrown around. And it's a pretty weak responser, way after massive amounts of noise about IP and heavy lobbying from the "new industry" they're supposedly trying to prevent.
There's also a fucking bunch of noise that doesn't actually say anything.
