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.

Yes whatever I think of his aesthetic priorities and the way his image is cultivated he does seem genuinely passionate about music and I do respect that. I'm sure I'd actually forgive him a lot more if only he didn't sound so ludicrously posh.
I think he can compose some really neat vocal harmonies but yes as you said his singing voice is grating and uh, honestly sometimes it's like vocal blackface
I totally get that! At least 10% of my motivation of following him is to see when he’ll drop his mask and be a huge appropriator, but so far that hasn’t seemed to have happened, except for this whole AI thing.
Veering completely off topic, if we're talking privileged young men with enormous musical ability coming out of nowhere and networking themselves into releasing crazy music, I'm rather into Hermann Szobel myself.
It's a pretty fascinating bit of history too if you're into this sort of thing.
