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.

Roko's Basilisk and other such batshit rat shit was mainstreamed as part of inflating the AI bubble - I doubt this will be the last time something like this gets referenced.
Seems pretty fitting to an illustration made in reverence to Roko's Bullshittery. I don't notice any obvious signs of slop-machine generation - either I'm shit at spotting slop, or this was made by human hands.
The brainwrinkles look if you put a brain though a make-it-look-like-a-sketch prompt, it's pointlessly detailed (i.e. not pretty or crafty, not adding anything, just lines for the sake of lines), it has the piss filter hue and also there's random orange shading. The background seems to be at least two separate layers of seemingly disjointed stuff.
Supposedly the plot hinges somewhat on AI shenanigans so this painting being noticeably GenAI'ed could the part of its point. or even a meta thing, but playing the game to make sure isn't currently on my agenda.
