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.

Chrome and Cleopatra issued a statement that that guy was fired because he sucked anyway. Chrome assured fans it would not be an “AI record.”

The plan was apparently for Hout to record a guide vocal that would then be reskinned with the “fakeass robot A.I. Stiv Bators voice.”

there’s something extra disrespectful about a punk band lying about firing the guy they were planning on exploiting to train a horrid tool their record label insisted would make them more money
