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.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I don't think anyone here is at risk of being tricked into thinking that the pope is their friend (unlike some people on social media...)
Under the last pope the church used similar arguments to argue that transgender people are unnatural (unsaid part: and probably shouldn't be given healthcare). It's hard for me to read this without thinking about that backdrop:
"The Catholic Church is an institution which has harmed, and continues to harm many, many people" and "it's really good that the leader of the world's largest religious organization is speaking out against AI and fascism" are both true statements
Thank heavens the church is speaking out against fascism as they cheer on a fascist government taking away my healthcare.
I don't care if you want to celebrate it and I wasn't saying you shouldn't or that it's a bad thing. But this comment is really inviting a "no shit sherlock" kind of response.

Timnit Gebru:
gebru straight up judges the text on the composition of the guests at the unveiling, and declines to read it, this is kremlinology in the worst style.
it is a doctrinal document directed at the catholic faithful, it is useful to actually take it at face value, and criticise it for its own (de)merits.
what the fuck’s the Pope gonna do, convert Claude to Christianity?
Not if Dawkins converts Claudia to Atheism first!
I can’t decide if I hate hardcore atheist or hardcore christian claude more
