Naw I emailed him b/c I was displeased to feel clickbaited by I initially thought Simon until I realized HN was missing two key words.

I was still suspicious of the stolen credential claim btw & obviously it makes little sense to promote OpenAI unless holding their stock or something (since they borrowed so much of humanity’s work without permission without intent to compensate, and why help people who aren’t nice enough to be holistically awesome with their admittedly impressive tech).

My eyes rolled almost out of my skull when this current stunt first got published, as I’m sure yours and a lot of other people’s did, but it did still happen as far as we know, and HN shouldn’t be editorialising a post title to say the opposite of the linked headline.
