1. I was born in "flyover country", I know what the great plains looks like and understand their economic struggles.
2. Again, huggingface open source meetup was the OPPOSITE of authoritarian tech bros. It's literally the people trying to democratize and keep this stuff available to the masses.
This post here is the resentment I'm talking about. The reality is that the average HF event attendee has done far more to help "flyover states" than most SF tech workers. They should be treated as such, not scorned like they're part of a "techno authoritarian future". The techno authoritarians are OpenAI and their cronies.
If nuance isn't possible from non tech bros who resent tech bros, maybe there is a reason why the world is leaving them behind.
- baremetal 4y agoBetween pandemics, inflation, food scarcity.. I'm not sure the world is leaving non tech bros behind. And I am a tech bro who moved to rural and bought the farm in 2020. I support you HF guys though. Also if you want to get into clubs in SF, at least when I use to party there extensively in the 00's you either: A) Go to a rave style club that lets anyone in or B) You wear nice "preppy" clothes. With a fresh haircut. I've been turned away from clubs for not having a button down shirt on. Dress code is a real thing.
