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.

"Horror Novel ‘Shy Girl’ Canceled Over Suspected A.I. Use"
an apparent excerpt
AI seems good at purple prose and metaphors that don't exactly make sense. No, I do not give a fuck about the "triangle of calm" when it comes to, of all things, the narrator taking off her shoes. No, I am not interested in how long the narrator sets the timer on the microwave when she makes literally the blandest meal of all time.
Now I'm sure the techbros truly think this is good "literary" writing. After all, they only care that the writing sounds flowery, because they seem to be very good at missing the actual meaning of everything. I remember Saltman saying that the movie Oppenheimer needed to be more optimistic to inspire more kids to become physicists (while also saying that The Social Network did that for startup founders).
All I could think about is who has a microwave that beeps while it's still cooking?
maybe it's carbon monoxide detector going off, it would make more sense
