Hansappreciator··on What will our economic future look like?
These aren't genuine studies, but are instead marketing materials that resemble studies.

Thanks Peter, brave try

Hansappreciator··on Peter Thiel's antichrist lectures reveal more about him than Armageddon
This is a pedantic, at best, claim.

If you want scholarly, informed, resources that aren't an ignorant billionaire talking out of his ass, I can provide those. If you aren't interested, kindly stop replying to this thread.

Regulation is the result of politics, and politics is the result (in democracies) of the inputs of every person in society. Dismissing regulation, or in Thiel's formulation, conflating regulators with the antichrist is therefore anti-democratic and anti-people. The anti-regulation side of SV, which comes from the libertarian / Randian utopia, is one of its least appealing and most ignorant aspects.
Hansappreciator··on The murky economics of the data-centre investment boom
Signs of a bubble in this sector are everywhere. OpenAI is trying to fundraise a $5tn infrastructure buildout on $15bn in annual revenue. That's insane.

What's worse is that OpenAI and the other AI companies are all intertwined. The chipmakers are invested in the datacenter operators are invested in the software guys. When the bubble implodes - and it will implode - the good will go down with the bad, and that's what makes a financial crash a true crash.

Hansappreciator··on Ask HN: Thoughts on Curtis Yarvin?
I know the clickbait / rage articles about him. I want to know what actual HN users think.
