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.

Also this tweet is making the rounds: https://twitter.com/eshear/status/1664375903223427072
My takeaway reading that was basically "Sure there are emboldened Neo-nazis marching in the streets who literally want to genocide people like you in particular. But they don't want to kill me so I'm more concerned about real problems: an out of control paperclip factory."
Also jeez how much cool-aid do you have to drink to start tweeting "the end of all value" instead of "earth go explodey and everyone dead :(". If I didn't know about the AI weirdos I would have assumed it was some sort of capitalistic nightmare.
End of all value is different from earth go explody. They're fine with earth go explody as long as there's a second, slightly larger earth to replace it with more value.
Desperation of delusion. "End of all value" => "I don't understand things, so I better at least have control!" I wonder if these kinds of people would send literal Nazis to my doorstep if I suggested that I don't have any stake either way in the "coin flipping on the end of my world view."
For posterity:
"Yeah sure the future is a boot stamping on a human face forever, but at least it has value now".
Think of all the boots you could sell. And the leather coat upsell opportunities! The market provides!
