What’s YC’s track record in the new LLMs-can-code era? Or are we talking about Dropbox and Airbnb?

Indeed. If you read between the lines that’s clearly it. And on that note can I add how much I truly despise sentences like this: > We are hearing from a lot of rightsholders who are very excited for this new kind of "interactive fa

While I agree I do think this way of looking at things is kind of insightful. I hadn't thought of it this way and it really rings true: > I find my fear to be kind of an ironic twist on what the Matrix foresaw—the AI apocalypse we r

For the record I think this narrative is absolute bullshit and this is probably a spam or click fraud operation. But the story is notable.

You could initiate some kind of legal action to access your data. You'd need a lawyer. I think it's likely that you wouldn't have legal grounds to force them to give you your data but it's an approach that would most c

What are the chances of reading an FT article stating that the financial sector, and financialization, are creating some of society’s core problems?

Odd comment on an article that is a specific detailed example of a distinction between the two approaches.

You still don’t have to like it or go on message boards advocating on behalf of the company. There’s no principle saying that you have to be on the side of an organization being exposed for behavior that is horrible for society, just becau

What makes you think there isn’t any evidence? What do you think “evidence” actually is? The article contains numerous first person accounts with quotes from named people talking about working conditions they experienced, complaining that t

I do agree that this is a complex topic but it is worth noting that the looting of Iraq was done by the British both times, making the argument a little circular. Like good thing the British saved the relics from what might have happened fr

The ideological approach is to hand wave and cite market fundamentalism when confronted with a real world allegation. The evidence based approach is to look at the credibility and history of the accused party.

My argument is the burden of proof goes the other way at this point.

I am talking about the widespread fiction that markets are efficient and rational, despite overwhelming evidence that they are in fact rigged in favor of participants with market power.

Google is an illegal monopoly, that’s the post trial judgement of multiple courts. It has used its monopoly powers to extract vast wealth from various sectors of the economy, and it has also been sanctioned for illegally manipulating labor

I took my kid to school in Downtown Brooklyn on the subway today. It was great. New York is great and the subway is amazing. I remain mystified by what I see people say on cable news or podcasts. Or maybe everyone secretly just really loves

I’m an actual progressive who believes government should serve the interests of working people. We don’t have a party for people like me in the United States any more, we just have two different movements to support corporate hegemony. And

We'll have to agree to disagree on that. If there are hundreds of people dressed like construction workers at a plant, it's reasonable to think there's a good chance they're doing construction work. If they are it&#x27

A Korean architect might well be allowed to come for meetings or to supervise on a B-1. They might not, depending on what they actually do. The laws are written out and there's lots of precedent. The point I'm making is if there&#

When we give money to private citizens it's not a tax. When we give money to the government, it often is. So paying a union person isn't a tax, any more than paying anyone else. Everything is government mandated or regulated. Is p

Yeah if those people weren't authorized to work in the United States, and they did any work at all (rather than strictly doing only "meetings" and then leaving the country again) that would be illegal. This isn't all tha
