I generally avoid George’s non-technical posts because they are… let’s say uninspired.

But here is one that actually makes sense. Of course the self-reflection with who he otherwise praises and spends his time with will never set in, but at least others may take the time to look inward and do something differently.

Something has to change. Even HN seems to have had an increase in sentiment like this in the past few years. Maybe I’m just noticing it more myself. Maybe it’s not just the existence of the Grape, but rather where it came from.

I don’t use Twitter. I believe it plays a big part in the degradation of society that geohot hot refers to in this article.

Can you share that that post is about and the significance of it in relation to this link?

If you change the domain to xcancel.com, you can see twitter stuff without being on twitter.

The tweet claims a startup built an ai cheating tool, another ripped them off, then a YC backed start up ripped the second group off. The YC backed guy claims he isn't worried about legal because he got the license from gpt.

(Wouldn't that be killer evidence in a lawsuit that the defendant didn't even attempt due diligence?)

Thank you for the summary; I appreciate it. I’m not really sure how it applies here though.

No problem. I'm basically in the same boat on relevance.

I guess the YC backed guy shows the sort of carelessness that often leads to enshitification?
