I hears ya: the eternal September of discovery. Perhaps, like me, you have a cynically high threshold for novelty plus a low regard for repetition? But https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/ seems relevant - trying to empathise with the joy in others and maintain our own childish joy in the wonders.
- schwartzworld 4y agoIt's just so low-value, even less valuable than linking to a google search or quora thread.
- robocat 4y agoLow value, yes. However I would give a strong negative value to your very public cynicism. Pissing on people’s excitement is not exactly helping. ChatGPT is revolutionary, even if I personally find the AGI discussions turgid. It is especially egregious to complain about it when the link is about ChatGPT - why don’t you just avoid commenting on those links? > linking to a google search I started doing that a year ago (with duckduckgo links), and I think this is often a genuinely useful thing to do and it saves other people time. Firstly I ensure the search terms are specific, saving the reader the effort to discover what search terms work. Secondly I do it for acronyms - to try and prevent that one person asking what the acronyms are. I also suggest you reread: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html (I just did).
