Not sure that any time someone posts cringe on HN counts as a tech take. Maybe we can bring AI into this?

What about, enslaving prisoners is not controversial if an AI is giving the orders, since it’s not a person oppressing another person. I’ll take my 500M VC now please.

Before I actually read the linked post I definitely thought this was about the ethics of enslaving sentient AI as seen in The Animatrix or R.U.R.

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.

For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community
