Truly dystopian. The Pokémon Company should share the blame for licensing their brand in this way without proper safeguards to prevent the data being used for this, particularly given the background of the Niantic founders

Crazy that kids data are getting leaked before they even had a chance to properly understand the consequences and consent to it being used

That's what massive subsidisation of the meat and dairy industry gets you over the long run

I think you overestimate what most people are doing with AI. A 2B model can give out relationship advice and tell you how long to boil an egg.

Can't see how NVIDA justifies its valuation/forward P/E ratio with these developments and on-device also becoming viable for 98% of people's needs when it comes to AI

Time to delete Cursor then. I refuse to support someone that is doing so much active damage to democracy and cut funding for some of the poorest people on the planet.

Agreed 100%. So much downtime, constant minimising of situations. Can't be trusted. We are moving away from Railway.

Agree with the first part - but I can run GPT OSS 20b, a highly capable model on my laptop with 32GB of RAM at speeds that for all practical intents is as fast as GPT-5.4 and good enough for 90%+ of non-technical use cases. As such I can&#x

Day trading too, and day trading led us down this path. Everyone is a gambler now. All morals are out the window. On a side note, I find it incredible crypto trading/day trading/meme stock trading etc is not recognised as a bigger

Thanks! I'm probably just being cheap with my 20 euro headphones and need to upgrade to at least mid-range

Love my JBL in-ear wired headphones but I can only use them when sitting still. When I walk with them they 'rustle' like crazy (don't know how else to describe the sound)

Fecal transplants...people will do anything to avoid eating a balanced, largely/wholly plant-based diet with a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.

Beautiful. How could someone be against renewable energy? It's incredible, and we should be investing a lot more into it.

Would be karma for all the unnecessary flights we have taken as a species. In particular anyone who does 'mileage runs' and emits huge amounts of CO2 just so they have the 'privilege' to sit in a slightly nicer chair in

Yep, that's why I refuse to give Whatsapp (and when I still used them, Instagram and Messenger), full access to my Camera reel. For some reason they keep asking aggressively for permission for the whole thing. I wonder why...

More like half of Google's AI team is hanging out on HN, and they can optimise for that outcome to get a good rep among the dev community.

100% agreed. I wish someone would make a test for how reliably the LLMs follow tool use instructions etc. The pelicans are nice but not useful for me to judge how well a model will slot into a production stack.
