> It's a satire blog that's confusing or misleading people (See top HN comments.)

I think it’s equally possible that we have a blind-leading-the-blind situation here, ie one guy didn’t get the joke, posted a serious chat gpt summary, and some people assumed it was a serious article. Seeing as that was the top comment for a while, I’d bet that this discussion is a great example of how using LLMs to “understand” things can actually have the reverse effect.

I like your phrasing.

It's more diplomatic than what I was getting to after struggling to not allude to modafinil or Asperger's.

There's probably an audience that doesn't read mainstream business outlets, but still has some adjacency to it through VC/startup/entrepreneurship circles.

Is it confusing people though? Have you read the real one?

Poe's law is when sarcasm is confused for something serious. Using /s to mark you're sarcasm as sarcasm is a cop out (which I reflexively downvote on).

I'd offer that Poe's law is when you can't tell sarcasm or not [0] and it applies more to comments/reactions.

I don't think the term really applies here, and I also despise the emoji copouts.
