YHK - yet another hacker news clone

Because their skills in one domain are not broadly applicable to others. Someone who is good at one or a few things is not all things. You can also see this in their inability to market AI to the broader public. If they could make a compelling case they, perhaps, wouldn't be facing such a widespread backlash to data centers and the technology generally.

Maybe they really can’t distinguish bots?

> “Move fast and break things” might work in a startup, but it’s a terrible strategy for building reputational goodwill

This is more or less something I've been thinking for a while

We have been moving fast, breaking things, at breakneck speeds for short term gains for way too long. It has been working out financially but ever other metric seems to be struggling. We aren't building secure software. We're not building responsible software. We're maximizing a single pillar at the expense of all other considerations and it's eventually gotta fall apart right?

Edit: It seems to me that SV elite have let themselves get boxed into an echo chamber. They aren't paying attention to what is going on outside their bubble.

SV has never known the future. All they have ever done is claim that whatever product they are currently developing is the next big thing. Because they say this before their product is released, they can sometimes look like prognosticators when their products succeed.

Wishful thinking and self interest may play a part.

Because SV is itself a bubble, believing in a utopia of 1,000 people purchasing from themselves that own everything and 7.9 billion people out of work.

The problem is, we have not experienced a serious correction in a long time and if there are no economic solutions to this problem, then may we deserve a crash to make the consequence clear.

So of course people outside of tech are not convinced of data centers, i.e (Homes for agents).
