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.

new development in ontology: "the ontology that makes ai models valuable is american"
https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mguiup62lt2j
I was low-key hoping for a technical philosophical article, which argues that to find any of this shit useful you need a distinctly american understanding of reality.
Actually the race-realism use last week, combined with this one, makes me realize that for them it's just a fancy way of saying "world-view" [or what they consider to exist, and be true, which is not the craziest use of the word, but I would say unhelpful, and probably a small in-group marker].
It's just a way of calling biases/prejudice legitimate.
And you know what, inasmuch the models have a "world-view" it IS annoyingly american in many ways. (at least the wrong kind of american.)
I mean I guess given how the current guy took a chainsaw to American soft power, industrial capacity, economic prospects, and so on I guess our wildly over funded military is probably the only comparative advantage we unambiguously hold onto.
"Our lethal capacities. Our ability to fight war."
These are two different things. But I fear he doesn't get that.
you gotta give him a morsel of credit, he's got his buzzword and he's stickin' to it
