I use AI for coding regularly. It's not fake. Just most aspects outside of the coding are looking to be a net negative on humanity if we think comprehensive and critical thinking are positive aspects of the human condition.

I'm more worried about the collapse of humanity a la idocracy. The model collapse might just be secondary. Even just conversing on HN, that's the vibe I feel we're headed towards. Or, perhaps, I'm just running into more

You not being convinced does not mean we do not need to protect for the risk. I suspect there's a lot of things you're not convinced of. Probably some things that are financially misaligned with your own welfare.

It's absurd to equate books and social media to being akin. And you're being facetious in your comments. What if you are wrong? What are the risks vs rewards?

Wiki already democratized it just fine and was legitimately free for people who know how to read. It's asinine that you think the sell it back to us argument falls short. Not only does it distill our history to try to sound like some a

> Facebook is a good example on how to structure your company to keep control of it. Yes, there's a lot of lessons we can take away from Facebook. Most are not positive lessons, mind you.

Gods, I worry this is going to be how people view relationships in the future. It's not the code or product, but the user base and time with it. Google, meta, etc aren't successful because of their product. It's because of th

It's really both. And that applies to a lot of HN darlings. Sadly, people's perspective can get cloudy when a positive perspective is tied to their financial well-being.

Fack, hopefully it's better than Ikea vs carpenter or most people will need new jobs because most "customers" are just buying Ikea all day.

Main thing I took away from chess when I used to play is it's just another exercise to work parts of your brain. I preferred 3+0 and 5+0 chess because of the low time commit, ease to move next, and the tradeoff between most correct mov

I've engaged with people at work where they led with an LLM via slack before I connected with them on a call. It's quite jarring and disappointing to see the gap in cohesion and knowledge going from one form of communication to th

Agreed. LLMs for writing is like intellectual catfishing. You are presenting yourself one way in written form.. but that's not who you will ever be once someone has to actually have a conversation with you. And that's wrong.

Agreed entirely. They're really glossing over the harm parts. The vibe in this article feels like someone who used the internet in the 90s and 2000s when community was actually a thing. Maybe even early Facebook days when it was colleg

This might stem from the simple fact that the average American is constantly getting screwed. It's just a sliding scale of how badly. Both parties are against them, owned by oligarchs and mega donors that are actively trying to increas
