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.

Day 3 after the singularity. Rate of change still the same, no warnings about light cones, and openAI still didnt make trillions of dollars.

Worst. Singularity. Ever.

The existence of light cones implies the existence of full-cream cones

@Soyweiser @dgerard You can't get all of the shiny cyberpunk over-the-top special effects when you syphoned the budget into the stockholders' debauchery fund.

Getting a T-Shirt that says “I entered the Singularity and all I got was a plagiarism machine, a higher cost of living and this stupid T-Shirt”

What if Musk is the financial singularity?

First he's a trillionaire, next year he has 2 trillion, the year after that 4 trillion, and so on, until he owns more dollars than have ever existed, at which point the US treasury collapses into a black hole and is never seen again.

Come on it can't be so easy to overcome capitalism - just wait till it collapse 😉
