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.

Nice of Dwyer to make his art edible. I expect this to be a stunt. It is exactly the type of thing I did with my friends in art school. We really thought we were edgy. I'm glad no one was there to write a snarky article about it, though there were people there to arrest us.

You can eat paint. You shouldn't, but you can. He also has a court date so that's quite the dedication if it was a stunt.

All the world's a stunt, and all the men and women merely slick

I've seen memes about eating people's art, but never a literal case, lmaoooooooooooo

He should have put the printouts on display post-digestion, thus turning himself into a provocative parody of GenAI.

the proof of the art is in the tasting
