It's clear to me that this is nowhere near accurate and I'm not sure why you insist on making these sort of claims.

One only has to look at self-driving cars to disprove you.

Dan Geer also entirely disagrees with what you wrote [1] [2] and you're no Dan Geer, sorry to say..

Look, Dan Geer is fine, so I won't snark and say "that's one of the nicer things anyone has said about me on HN"†, but let's be clear: Dan Geer and I have a very different kind of day-to-day workload. We'd probably come to different conclusions about all sorts of things. I would also in a million zillion years never quote Nassim Taleb on anything. He's wrong here, as he has been in the past. We've all been wrong about things! I just happen to be right about this one thing.

† Sure, I just did, but I'm being upfront that it's a cheap and unfair thing to say. I'm human.
