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.

Enter these into your data banks, you automaton:

The chinese room was brought up as a tangent to a tangent, why are you doubling down on mansplaining it?
nobody was even talking about whether or not it is a good or bad concept, we were just talking about the problematic dude that made it popular
you are in a space that is critical of AI. The chinese room was brought up by name. You think we don’t know what it is and that you need to explain it?
literally all you had to do to seem even remotely reasonable was to not try mansplain AGAIN and yet you did. I wrote what I said as a joke and you went ahead and turned it into prophecy. You buffoon!!!

the comment I replied to said "that's probably racist (in addition to being stupid)", i took that to mean the concept, not the guy
again, i wasn't explaining the Chinese room, just making a point that you can take out all the stuff about Chinese and the notes and whatnot and the main question would still be worth asking
you wrote it as a joke? then here's some mansplaining for you: jokes have punchlines.
what i said was not combative or rude in any way yet you're needlessly aggressive and insulting. go fuck yourself and take care of your fragile ego so it doesn't shatter the next time you feel someone insulted your intelligence by saying something you already know.
