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 of sex.

Sleeping with others’ significant others, or actively trying to/bragging about it is a perfect example. Low-class behavior that will get you props from low-class folks.

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 discussing alignment on Twitter (or irl in SF) have no actual background in AI/ML.

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 responsibility.

Everything on blind is completely unsubstantiated, doubly so if it’s a, “I heard from…” post. But still, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this come true.

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 quality of online communities and make engagement hard to measure.

I’ll guess because those are popular porn categories. What would you prefer they be?

What an extremely odd and specific response to a very common four-letter phrase.

Sorry our definition of tech doesn’t meet your old standards? Like what?
