Wow, from the article you linked here’s one of them plotting to wield a fascist mob against a journalist just like a proper villain, in case there were any doubts:

“If things get hot, it may be interesting to sic the Dark Enlightenment audience on a single vulnerable hostile reporter to dox them and turn them inside out with hostile reporting sent to *their* advertisers/friends/contacts,” Mr. Srinivasan said in an email viewed by The New York Times, using a term, “Dark Enlightenment,” that was synonymous with the neoreactionary movement.


Y Combinator seems like a nexus of creepy and unhinged techbros, I’m not surprised they have a CEO who wields antisemitic conspiracy theories against his critics.


That’s good to hear, I don’t use it. As I said, I’ve only checked it out a few times and that was not recent. My impression of it is apparently outdated, or doesn’t reflect a common experience. The times I looked at it there were half naked women in bathtubs and shit like that.


I thought it was pretty well established that Twitch was like a softcore OnlyFans that caters to lonely gamers seeking parasocial relationships, but that’s just my impression as someone who doesn’t pay attention or care about this stuff. The few times I’ve looked at it the sexualized content was obvious and unavoidable.


I felt like mine gave me cancer when I first turned it on, it was the dankest robot fart I’ve ever smelled.


Hisense A9

Cool, this looks just like my Boox Palma except it’s got a SIM.


I haven’t seen anything about it being rooted or rom support yet, but that’s not really my scene anymore. I believe Hisense makes a similar e-ink device that is rootable if that’s a hard requirement for you, although I think I’ve read it’s only released in China so it may be hard to find.

EDIT: From another comment in this thread it looks like the Hisense A9 is what you want if you’re after a rootable e-ink device (and with a SIM so you can use it as an actual phone too)


Yep, it has full play store support so you can install whatever you want.


Onyx Boox Palma. It’s not a phone so maybe it doesn’t exactly count, but other than the lack of a SIM its basically just a phone with a really good e-ink display. I’ve been really happy with it, it’s my favorite Android device since the OnePlus 7 Pro.


No. It’s not generally the CEOs job to cover up rapes and sexual assaults. There’s a line and Kotick crossed it. Whatever money he made wasn’t worth the shit he did. If you participate in covering up for rapists you are not serving your shareholders, you’re destroying the reputation of the company as soon as what you have been doing gets out. Which is exactly what happened and led directly to Microsoft taking the company over.


His sister accused him of some stuff a few years ago but nothing ever came of it. She apparently has credibility issues so I think the general view is the allegations are the delusions of a mentally ill person and/or a shakedown attempt.


Why do you maintain this? None of the details that have come out so far have suggested this, or not that I have seen.


Historians and anthroplogists will likely be the only people who ever regularly access this kind of data if it’s available in the future.


What’s this about OpenAI having a mission to create chaos? That sounds like “AI panic” or conspiratorial thinking on the surface at least.
