Thank you, updated indirect references to direct: I know it's un-HN but Jesus christ am I tired of hearing this person's garbage quoted ad nauseam like a gospel
Jeez bro. This is a pretty intense reaction to a lukewarm and reasonable take. Personally I appreciate an "AI influencer" being down to earth and being willing to say that the technology isn't magic, amidst a huge amount of hype. If you think people are parroting swyx uncritically - that's hardly a criticism of swyx, is it?
I think you should keep reflecting on your realization about how people got swept up in the cryptoasset hype. You can believe this technology is promising and will improve dramatically without being a fanatic. You can disagree without going for the jugular.

Ironically, that's not at all what I wrote. You made statements such as these:
> But they read tweets like this, and they have the typical developer blindspot of not questioning motive enough and they believe it!
> I'm tired of hearing this person's garbage quoted ad nauseam like a gospel
And so I observed:
> If you think people are parroting swyx uncritically - that's hardly a criticism of swyx, is it?
To be clear, if you feel other people are repeating swyx uncritically, that is a criticism of those people.
When it comes to people being loud while not adding knowledge to the discussion - with all due respect, you should consider the composition of your house before casting that stone.
I apologize if my comments are frustrating for you to read; I am doing my best to give you useful feedback. You behaved in a pretty extreme way, which is not considered acceptable in this community (or most communities). And I take it you knew better:
> that's actually not a criticism of the guy at all!"
> that's hardly a criticism of swyx, is it?
"Ironically, that's not at all what I wrote"
The most extreme idea in this thread is thinking anyone would consider your feedback based on the level of coherence you've shown: maybe give it a rest?
