Because it's the correct take
- hobofan 9mo ago
  Doesn't mean it's a valuable take. It doesn't even significantly matter whether it's a bubble or not, but whether its a "bad" bubble. I think Steve Eisman (of housing bubble fame) recently made the argument that it's probably a bubble, but it doesn't seem to have the hallmarks it would have to turn it into a crisis. e.g. no broad immediate exposure for the general populace (as in housing/crypto bubbles).

    > It doesn't even significantly matter whether it's a bubble or not, but whether its a "bad" bubble. there are billions and billions of dollars invested in there -- it matter significantly to a lot of people. the bubble popping may trash the US and possibly global economy. "it doesn't matter" has to be one of the worst AI takes I've seen...

  Or "nice project, I've done exactly the same 10 years before..." Or "cool project, but why haven't you tried [insert obscure software]". The list goes on.

    the "why not xxxx?" comments really are the height of disrespect, ignoring someone else's effort to instead show how smart they are, while being lazy about it. I bet 9/10 people who make such comments never even look at the original project in any depth, let alone try it out in anger.

      There could instead be warm fellow-feeling where everyone maintains respectful silence about alternatives, everybody with a new project gets a lovely ego boost, and I remain uninformed about what else exists.

        If that doesn't come in the form of a discussion grounded in the original post, I could just as well have asked chatgpt and wouldn't have known the difference.

        all about you, all the time, right?

        I mean, there's room for both things. It would be bad if nobody at all was willing to fawn over a new project and call it exciting instead of shooting it down. (After all, it might be my project ...) Shouldn't be sensitive about people asking "why didn't you do this?" though, or "that reminds me of my own thing that I made back in the stone age". Those are useful and reasonable points, if not made unkindly. Reality is unkind.

        It's hard to explain, but easy to spot when someone is genuinely contributing and when it's just ego-boosting. We can at least agree we are talking about the latter.
