| Totally agree. And that's late-stage capitalism for you. For a site named "hacker news" the hacker spirit is noticeably absent here. Instead you have simps for billionaires. |

| If anything Jensen Huang is the exact embodiment of the hacker spirit. An engineer who singlehandedly created one of the most valuable companies on earth by creating the chips that AI runs on. I dont get how you can talk about the "hacker spirit" but then talk about "late-stage capitalism" (essentially the flat-earthism of economy) and tech founders. |

Can you elaborate on why you think not a single aspect of late stage capitalism is true in any capacity, like flat-earthism? | |

Nvidia chips are not the only chips AI runs on. Google for example runs everything on their own TPU's. I don't know how you can talk so much out of your ass. Simping for billionaires is not "hacker spirit". | | |

| The thing to remember every time you see the orange, so you don't forget, is that you are posting on the promotional website of a multibillion-dollar private equity firm. |

Ycombinator owns the building that the community meets in, but the community is bigger than the landlord. The landlord can set some rules and influence what happens in the building, but if they impose too much on the community it will find a different building to meet in. | | |
| ▲ | CPLX an hour ago | parent [-] | | If you think that the values of a church have nothing to do with the discussions that happen inside of the church, I'm not sure what to tell you. If you believe the opposite, that's exactly the same point that I was just making. |
