Inventor sez "I locked myself in my apartment for 4 years to build this humanoid". Surprisingly, not a sexbot!

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.
For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community
not a sexbot!
Skill issue.
You know that's for Gen 2.0
This tech curve is about to go exponential, if you know what I'm sayin'

all hail the hockey stick may we forever outspend all competition and reap the rewards of a ravaged market we solely control
HN seems to be particularly deranged today, doesn't it?
It mostly seems to be a mopey debate over whether Saltman's impending apotheosis is good or bad.
I think they've been pretty sane AI-wise, lately.
you sure about that?
The most depressing thing for me is the feeling that I simply cannot trust anything that has been written in the past 2 years or so and up until the day that I die. It's not so much that I think people have used AI, but that I know they have with a high degree of certainty, and this certainty is converging to 100%, simply because there is no way it will not. If you write regularly and you're not using AI, you simply cannot keep up with the competition. You're out. And the growing consensus is "why shouldn't you?", there is no escape from that.
This is someone who literally can't tell good writing from bad, so he assumes everyone is using AI
He's so close to being depressed enough to maybe ask a vital and important question about meaning and his own relationships with technology. But probably he'll just buy more AI.
Watching AI guys slowly come around feels similar to how people have to care for their alcoholic relatives. Folks have to come to the point where they recognize where the unacceptable bullshit lies on their own, then you can show them the cold hard facts and a path back to the real world, but getting there is absolutely exhausting and often heartbreaking.
