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.

our favorite techno-fascist hacker has posted a plea for money to buy a house in the most expensive place in the world and to exclusively fly around in private jets because she's the best at writing code to multiple matrices and everyone has been so unjustly mean to her. https://justine.lol/animus/
I'm pretty sure that this was triggered by Rich Felker (
musl) telling her to go away last week. She's finally asked a search engine for her legacy; previously, on Awful, we discussed the degree to which she's done this to herself by loudly espousing corporate fascism.Deleted, but the archive remembers
Why doesn't she just ring up Peter Thiel. She seems like just the type of person he'd love to donate some Thiel bucks to.
EDIT: I just went to her linked GitHub sponsors page. I was surprised to find Simon Willison there, but maybe I shouldn't have been. It certainly gave me another reason to look sideways at him.
@TinyTimmyTokyo
He probably hates trans people.
Does not seem uncommon under a subset of very privileged white gay men. So not shocked if Thiel does.
don't give them ideas
by "culture wars" she means she's a fucking nazi
hmm, looking at the text you link it says "your past statements in Twitter" first. could it be they found out you're a fucking nazi
also you're shocked, shocked to find that 4chan people are assholes. you hang out there for hours at a time. probably just coincidence.
Tunney has deleted the post already! But there's an archive and another one
"This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
I have been helpless with giggles for five fuckin' minutes.
Prometheus a technologist? No he was a social media user.
"prometheus: hot take,
the greek gods: no give that back"

Also you do care just not in the way she hopes.
Gestural Bayesianism!
Hold on whilst I update towards the hypothesis that bayes for these people is just a syllable they emit when they talk about forming opinions.
From the linked post:
Fuuuuck off
This improves dramatically if you read it in the voice of Wayne Newton's televangelist character from License to Kill (1989).
Grifting off the United States' escalating institutional abuse of trans people is a special kind of ghoulish.
Thats a trap if I ever saw it.
Speaking of HN, here's the discussion there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48314875
btw, when normal people read that someone has a lien on their income from the state of New York, they don't assume it's because she's a brave truth-talker being oppressed by the Man, they assume she can't fucking handle her finances and they should be really careful donating money to her.
There's gold in them comments:
Ha ha no it's because she went fash, you credulous dork
Friedrich Nietzche has been a disaster for the human species.
@sinedpick
yikes
It is now 404-ing; an archive copy is available here.
I never heard of Justine Tunney before but she has a Wikipedia page.
by her own admission, most of the work that went into it was deciding whether or not she should have one.
damn she got one-shot by curtis yarvin's R.A.G.E. meme, and loved eric schmidt enough to want him to be her king. i don't even know what to say. the human mind is an incredible thing
