But isn't this the nearest argument why we should start publishing negative results papers?

The most important thing that I have ever learned was a announcement made by Google about how their industry consortium seeking to trade print magazine advertising inventory, failed with reference to the nature of this failure. No matter how lacking in detail this notice was, no matter that I was sent down a seven years solitary and very lonely path of mercifully ultimate discovery, on the heels of my startups exit collapse due to my cofounder tragically dying but we'd have been sunk by the problems indirectly revealed in that Advertising Age news item. However painful, and I'm talking about therapy for years after I emerged from reclusion, and real health issues giving up running and my diet turning to junk energy hits...I have learned more from being told "no can do Z because of y" and I seriously think that we /seriously have to start already getting over the reasons why we don't talk about our failures/. I mean holy smoke wouldn't we ever run out of good conversation ever again if we could have a good old banter and brew over our cockups? I'm thinking that this is how women are so much more successful in reproduction if they actually want to. What could we do if we tried?

Was this GPT-2 trying to write a HN comment?
I'm not sure. Their posting history has multiple posts of this type with disconnected sentences. With GPT 2 at least there is usually some continuity and a semblance of a shared context between the sentences.
After reading several of the comments, I think OP is not a native English speaker, and that makes for some awkward grammar/sentence structure.
I am reminded of Terry Davis.
