Can we please stop paying attention to what celebrity developers and HN darlings like simonw have to say?

Listening to influencers is in large part what got us into the (social, political, technofascist) mess we're currently in. At the very least listening to alternative voices has the chance of getting us out. I'm tired of influencers, no matter how benign their message sounds. But I'm especially tired of those who speak positively of this technology and where it's taking us.

No, this viral thing that's barely 2 months old is certainly not the most interesting place on the internet. Get out of your bubble.

He’s the right person at the right time. A prolific HN celebrity that has been spamming day in day out this site with LLM updates, playing the optimist, the skeptic and any shade in between, 10 times a week, during the peak of the hype.

His efforts might single-handedly be worth a couple percentage points off the valuations of AI companies. That’s like, what, a dozen billion dollars these days? At least I hope for him he gets the fat check before it all goes up in flames.
