HN is not a news website in the traditional sense, even though "news" is in the name. How is this not obvious?
For what you are seeking you should go to reuters.com, you'd probably have better luck.
- molteanu 6y agoMeaning, the rest of the world literally has other pressing problems than the ones the planet's most capable people are spending their days with. But I get it now. This new technology is not actually about saving the people, is about controlling them, regardless of what the motto of big tech might be. That quote from Dune is still right on track: "Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them"
- kristiandupont 6y agoYour outrage rings pretty hollow as you are on Hacker News spending your time complaining rather than doing something about all the problems in the world.
- molteanu 6y agoI am doing something. I am raising awareness. Isn't this the national sport in fighting the world problems?!
- erikbye 6y ago> the ones the planet's most capable people are spending their days with. I think you are greatly exaggerating the capability and means of the average HN visitor, submitter, and commenter. That said, I think people, generally, are unable to work non-stop, 24/7 on just the important problems. Commenting on some trivial shit here doesn't mean you don't give a fuck about the problems of the world, or that you're not working on them.
- hackissimo123 6y agoPlease, tell me more about all the ways in which you are helping to save the world from its most pressing problems.
