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 want the people I teach to be worse than me" is a fucking nightmare of a want, I hope you learn to do better

So there's this new thing they invented. It's called a joke. You should try them out sometime, they're fun!

"oh shit I got called out on my shitty haha-only-serious comment, better pretend I didn't mean it!" cool story bro

If people say that sort of thing around you not as a joke, you need to spend your time with better people. I dunno what to tell you - humor is a great way to deal with shitty things in life. Dunno why you would want to get rid of it.

“How dare you not find me funny. I’m going to lecture you on humor. The lectures will continue until morale improves.”

maybe train your model better! I know I know, they were already supposed to be taking over the world... alas...

So, there's this new phenomenon they've observed in which text does not convey tone. It can be a real problem, especially when a statement made by one person as a joke would be made by another in all seriousness — but don't worry, solutions have very recently been proposed.

I dunno what kind of world you are living in where someone would make my comment not as a joke. Please find better friends.
