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.

Overall a bit too on the nose for my taste, but the final sentence brought it back, stellar landing.

This headline works in a totally different direction as well.

I was thinking of this skeet "Giant self-help huckster Tony Robbins is getting in on the AI game. Perfect."

Shilling AI has much fewer downsides that walking on coals I guess

... There are people on lemmy who think "AI" has merit? Almost everything I see is how shit it is. Which I thought was, well... because it IS shit.

I haven't seen any issues from this instance. Actually, now we're talking about it, I see very, very few AI and crypto bros on Lemmy.

It's actually very nice.
