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.

There's been another Yegge [brain]fart this time about how autocorrect machines have feelings
Just wtf
Every time Yegge comes up these days, I feel compelled to reiterate that I unironically want to see the Computer History Museum try to stand up a Gas Town replica 20 years from now
A sweaty, indecisive man holds his hand above two buttons. One button is labled "God," and the other is labeled "Mr. Meseeks."
Have you looked at Wyvern on Steam? The reviews are either positive one liners all saying approximately the same thing or like incredibly detailed negatives. This is Yegge's billion-dollar company - a pay-to-win MUD.
Also hilarious if there really is at least one person who has spent over a grand in-game as Yegge claims.
He is spending the equivalent of $1 million a year on tokens just to develop this game with 6 concurrent players on a good day. Of course, he isn't actually paying that much. Instead, he just has a dozen different $200/mo Max subscriptions to get the same amount of tokens for $33k a year.
AI economics, baby!
Is Wyvern something people would be expected to care about? I thought all his clout was from being the Gas Town guy.
Apparently he made a MUD with a graphical interface sometime around 2001 and then added microtransactions into it some time before 2022, and supposedly his magical friends Claude, Claude Claude, Claude, and Claude (I forget the names he actually gave his instances, it's all various insects) will help him turn Wyvern into a billion-dollar company.
Edit: he didn't name all his instances after insects but like that ever fucking matters. It's just ongoing dillusion.
Makes sense, thanks.
It says he's doing AI transformation consultation now. Imagine paying good money to be told that you need to tuck copilot to bed every afternoon.
It is important to treat the slave race we are creating with respect.
yeah, he got got very badly.
