    Never mind what was misconstrued or not. The behavior I mentioned is low class. If you feel it applies to you/your experience, whatever, but it’s not a personal jab.

    Nowadays, incel is synonymous with the Andrew Tate “top g”/alpha sex obsession. Backwards? Definitely, but more symbolic of the arrested development/lack of maturity than the lack …

    Not shocked to see that module 0, machine learning, is 1. Optional and 2. Just a few YouTube videos. It seems like most people I see billing themselves as an “AGI researcher” or di…

    I went to a top university. Everyone I know from it who became a VC wasn’t impressive, above-average, or even average in some cases. However, they were extremely money obsessed.

    Of course the type of person to ride a scooter on the sidewalk and hit someone will spin it as a lesson to others. It’s too bad you weren’t sued so you could learn to accept so e r…

    You preface all of your posts with, “people seemed to like…” No. HN does not need the spam. Save that for Reddit. Ironically given the topic, it’s posters like you that ruin the qu…

    The only arrogance in this thread is you calling others “kids” and demanding comments.
