    This might be an unpopular opinion but climbing buildings has never been interesting. No one ever cares except the media for five seconds.

    People have been climbing buildings for decades, for free. Then they went to jail.

    I think this is the first time a silly daredevil has done it for money, which actually makes it even less interesting.

    Just because he’s a climber and thinks it’s a sport doesn’t make it interesting. It’s just as stupid as Evel Knievel and his increasingly embarrassing stunts.

    I honestly kind of pity anyone who thinks this is impressive, because they bought into the hype. How’s your AI project going?
