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.

b-but David, they’ve been so reasonable and here we are getting emotional about the fucking garbage technology they’ve come here to shove down our throats alongside a heaping serving of capitalist brainrot from the same types of self-described geniuses who gave us OKRs
First and foremost, the dunce is incapable of valuing knowledge that they don't personally understand or agree with. If they don't know something, then that thing clearly isn't worth knowing.
There is a corollary to this that I've seen as well, and it dovetails with the way so many of these guys get obsessed with IQ. Anything they can't immediately understand must be nonsense not worth knowing. Anything they can understand (or think they understand) that you don't is clearly an arcane secret of the universe that they can only grasp because of their innate superiority. I think that this is the combination that explains how so many of these dunces believe themselves to be the ubermensch who must exercise authoritarian power over the rest of us for the good of everyone.
See also the commenter(s) on this thread who insist that their lack of reading comprehension is evidence that they're clearly correct and are in no way part of the problem.
@YourNetworkIsHaunted I honestly was wondering why they were obsessing over IQ so much, but this comment actually made it all click
What is up wit h the design of this website. There's huge amounts of dead space.
The content though... it just reads like somebody who's pretty angry. I do like the odd rant here and there, but this one misses the mark. "I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again" was much more to my liking (despite the damn 3 column design).

sorry you don't like anger! we'll improve your lemmyverse experience
been a little while since we had A Programming Dot Dev here, I think. guess it was time
Protip: If you give a hackernews 25 candies, it evolves into a programmingdotdev.
@o7___o7 @froztbyte never feed them after midnight
are they allergic to water? I may have a solution if they're allergic to water
sandworms on lemmy??
Perhaps because I paused to read a little of the Dunciad before continuing with this essay, I think many of its attacks lack the precision and wit to justify their viciousness. I'm generally sympathetic to the premise, but whatever its merits it does not compare all that well with Alexander Pope. Maybe there is more insight and entertainment yet to be derived from comparing ChatGPT itself to Dulness.
profound reasoning indeed, this way to the egress so you can contemplate further
