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.

If only there were email communications that all but prove the allegations.
Yeah sure, and you can keep pissing into the ocean while you're at it while real people try to fix the problems they perceive.
Hopefully that's a place where no one has to read bizarrely dismissive drive-by comments made by people who have No Fucking Clue about what they're talking about and lack any kind of intellectual spine.
The allegations are presumably true but that is almost irrelevant. The question is what the world would be like in the opposite situation. The lessons of history suggest it would be pretty much the same world as the one that we got. A big enough pile of money in one place will never be left standing. For the article's narrative to mean anything, it has to argue otherwise, and it makes no attempt at that.
Ben Gomes is the counterfactual. I get the feeling you didn't actually read anything.
You have a lot of growing up to do.
you might be a fucking idiot
imagine if your posts here meant anything
I know what you mean. Naming names is good imo but I was rather irked by the way the piece seemingly allows for a good, virtuous google under the leadership of benevolent engineers. It's not how capitalism works, it's certainly not how public companies work.
What particularly confused me is I don't recall google search being good in the years leading up to 2019? I assume it was somewhat better probably, but it was well on its way to utter shite.
It was certainly better, maybe even functional. It has been getting progressively worse up to where we are now. LLM blogspam has made it useless.
