Also, was Davis that hateful? Haven't followed him, and what I know from him is mostly anecdotal, but apart from some slurs he mostly did long weird God and CIA unhinged posts, but not active hate edgelord stuff like what I see from this guy.

Take a look at some of his HN accounts (like https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=losethos) and judge yourself if it's hateful or not.

Some would say the hateful language came only because of his disease, others the disease only added to existing behavior. Hard to know from the outside without really knowing him I'd say.

For anyone else curious, you have to go into your HN settings and change showdead to YES in order to see all the majority of his Comments. Only two show up if not.

Ah well, not great. I didn't know his HN accounts, I think I mostly read his site for TempleOS and something else (can't remember, it was long time ago so this was mostly a gut feeling).

It's true it feels like it comes from a different place, but yep, not great.

He never struck me as a cruel person, maybe a bit callous, and definitely very sick.
