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 hate AI as much as anyone, but this article is shitty fearmongering. Buried at the end it admits there's actually no price increase, there's just a new tier with optional features.

A “classic” Office 365 subscription will be available at the old price if you really don’t want the AI — for now.

that’s absolutely the ploy — in almost every instance, civility rules are used to punish marginalized people while giving polite fascists a pass (and the ability to normalize the behavior of impolite fascists)
