@quinn Altman graduated from the cryptocurrency school of grifters to a larger and more majestically lucrative scam, the prosperity gospel/basilisk's hell branch of AI Jesus christian syncretism. He's a televangelist-style huckster, is my take.
@cstross OT: any relationship between that view and your several-years mostly-absence from HN by chance?
(Not to put you on the spot, but something I'd noticed a while back. And realise writing this you'd stopped by to discuss Accelerando a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48159241.)
@dredmorbius Yes: HN is overrun by right with fascist-adjacent techbros these days, and I want nothing to do with them or their ideology.
@dredmorbius @cstross ycombinator is even listed as a cosignatory with other baddies like Microslop, Google, OpenAI and the Linux foundation in some fascist-adjacent recent thing (forgot which)
@mirabilos Feel free to ping me if you run across it.
@cstross I suspected.
Thanks.
