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.

OpenAI has already threatened to leave Europe if it gets regulated too hard. Imagine GEMA being the ones to drive the chatbots out of Germany.

...I didn't think I'd ever end up cheering on GEMA.

@nightsky @dgerard

Wouldn't that be great?

@nightsky I will still not cheer them on. Just because they are right now a bunch of dicks at somebody who deserves it doesn’t mean they are any less of a bunch of dicks. If they take down OpenAI - good for us. For them it‘s just a side-effect of their general bunch‘o‘dickery.

"Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with GEMA."

"What about side by side with a friend?"

"Lol good one get fucked."

GEMA versus OpenAI. Whoever wins, we all lose.

But I'm still happy to see them fight.
