swen seems like a decent dude... he might just need to get off the computer for a bit
also, his assumption that this scoring system if implemented would result in a lessening of his anguish and not, say, his biggest haters getting millions of upvotes, reminds me of this thing i wrote in a blog
going from immense popularity for saying and doing generally cool, non-ceo-like shit, straight to general disdain for saying dumb shit about ai, has obviously caught him by surprise and has him flailing. i do think he has gone a bit "if i can just speak very clearly everyone will like me again"
very tempting and natural even to fall in the hole of assuming you're misunderstood when you're just way off on something and everyone sees it but you
