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.

Because Blue Owl really doesn’t want the world to see a fund of theirs fail.

For want of investors, the FOMO was published. For want of FOMO, the fund was lost. For want of a fund, the firm will be lost next. Hedge funds fail all the time, but it's surprising to see such a direct connection. I think the Bible says something about this too, something like "vibes to vibes, dust to dust, empty your accounts, pay investors you must."
