Silicon Valley lore is way too complex at this point; needs a reboot. I'd rather start One Piece from scratch.

We need a wiki indeed.

You're posting on it.

https://silicon-valley.fandom.com/ is already taken, unfortunately.

Why is Yudkowsky's HPMOR a "warcrime"?

I'm sure the return on that investment was very large in terms of donations.

It's great - there's just a group on HN that think it's status-y to hate on it.
