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.

if you post a thread about intolerable dickheads, the most intolerable dickheads on Lemmy will post some shit like “intolerable dickhead checking in, how fucking dare you”

it’s like catnip for the Reddit-brained, and by catnip I mean meth

I haven't met that many dickheads here though, maybe one or two, but not as many as reddit.

Unless I'm the asshole.

they tend to disappear from here rather quickly

Sometimes they file reports against regulars, accusing them of "ableism" for being anti-slop-machine. That's also entertaining.

Some people will go as far as to call you racist and genocidal if you express dislike for slop machines

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 6 points 22 hours ago

and a startling percentage of those turn out to be rationalist race scientists

There's a term for being anti-ai slop? Hahahaha that is hilarious!

Edit. That term is against those with disabilities. I agree that that's a dick move. Are they claiming that by hating ai slop, we are against those with disabilities? I'm feeling like I missed something. They can't mean that, that's idiotic. Like... Idiocracy level.

AI SHILL: if you hate AI, you hate the disabled!
DISABLED PERSON: hi, help me in some practical way
AI SHILL: fuck off
