> While you might reasonably disagree with their conclusion
What I want is for people to actually discuss the topic as opposed to doing a roundabout dismissal that is devoid of substance.
> Yet you literally just did that
Now you are catching on! I was worried that I was being too subtle. Indeed I did do that! Annoying isn't it?
Especially when I am simply fighting fire with fire and showing why this method of communication is worthless to begin with.
Wouldn't this all be better if we were talking about the actual issue, instead of responses to responses on who is being too meta?
I totally agree that the whole conversation thread was a mistake from the beginning and that any further comments just destroy the conversation topic as opposed to actually addressing the substance of it.
Now you know, by demonstration, of why the whole line of thinking was bad from the beginning.
> What I want is for people to actually discuss the topic
As I already said, they are discussing the topic of [what probably happened in a controversy between Sam Altman and the OpenAI board], by comparing it to [another controversy involving Sam Altman and another board].
That's related and relevant data. You're the one driving all the meta-noise here, with your illogical attempt to gatekeep it as off-topic.

You're the only one who has done it so far. You're not being satirically clever, just annoying.
Hey, as long as you agree that making meta comments about who is making what comments in which message board, as opposed to directly addressing the substance, is worthless and bad then I am glad to have convinced you over to that.
