Screw Elon Musk and the horse he rode in on. There is
no way I'm going to give that character my content or
collaborate in anything he owns or has a stake in.
Still looking for an alternative.

"Conflict is essential to human life, whether between different aspects of oneself, between oneself and the environment, between different individuals or between different groups. It follows that the aim of healthy living is not the direct elimination of conflict, which is possible only by forcible suppression of one or other of its antagonistic components, but the toleration of it—the capacity to bear the tensions of doubt and of unsatisfied need and the willingness to hold judgement in suspense until finer and finer solutions can be discovered which integrate more and more the claims of both sides. It is the psychologist's job to make possible the acceptance of such an idea so that the richness of the varieties of experience, whether within the unit of the single personality or in the wider unit of the group, can come to expression."
Marion Milner, 'The Toleration of Conflict', Occupational Psychology, 17, 1, January 1943

I try to express ideas on HN as truthfully as possible and without regard for whether an idea is popular. But I'm never contrarian just for the sake of being contrarian. Sometimes this approach results in great discussions and other times I miss the mark.
I try to put into practice G. H. Hardy's words that "It is never worth a first-class man's time to express a majority opinion. By definition, there are plenty of others to do that."
Because I do not believe in free will, I view everyone as always doing the best they can, given their genetics and environment. I have hatred for absolutely no one and have deep affection for all conscious creatures.
I'm passionate about machine learning/AI and its latest possibilities. Past Team Lead for Google Machine Learning project, past startup founder/technical manager, experience in web applications on many stacks, data analysis tools, prompt engineering, machine learning, as well as mobile applications development with Flutter. Open to short contracts on any technology as well as full time opportunities.
