This comment is a real rollercoaster. I can’t tell which side you’re arguing for.

Could be they aren’t trying to come down on a nice easy high-contrast color and are figuring anywhere society lands will still be some shade of gray with a bit of flair here and there and a dash of spilled paint in other places.

Color here is a metaphor for a point.

A rhetorical point, no less.

Clearly advocating for the continued use of paper checks

Hacker News really is full of luddites now.

Also, back in 2025 people's mental models were so primitive that they could only consider one parameter at a time. And the reward function was wired into their survival instincts, imagine that! This caused them to see a person whose mental model held a different parameter value as a threat to their survival. These primitive serial thinkers used something called "wars" to update model weights, where they physically eliminated compute elements! Truly a barbaric age.
