Sadly, this problem isn't specific to HN either, any reddit sub that is even remotely related to software is absolutely flooded with "look at my slop" posts. It feels like the age of creating some cool new software on your ow

100% jealousy, similar to how anyone who posts a negative reaction to a crypto rugpull scam is just jealous that they didn't get to pull the scam themselves.

This is easily the most successful tech grift I've ever seen. Props to this guy for scamming Altman this hard without writing a single line of code, or really doing anything at all other than paying for a bunch of github stars and twee

If this happened 15+ years ago, a huge chunk of the userbase likely would've migrated to alternatives, potentially resulting in Discord being replaced and falling into irrelevance. Today, though, no chance that happens. The current gen

The writing has been on the wall since day 1. They wouldn't be marketing a subscription being sold at a loss as hard as they are if the intention wasn't to lock you in and then increase the price later. What I expect to happen is

The API price is 6x that of normal Opus, so look forward to a new $1200/mo subscription that gives you the same amount of usage if you need the extra speed.

Most of what Karpathy says is a joke. We're talking about the guy who coined the term "vibe coding", for god's sake.

The "biggest names in AI" are just the newest iteration of cryptobros. The exact same people that would've been pumping the latest shitcoin a few years ago, just on a larger scale. Nothing has changed.

I don't know why that comment is being interpreted as a request for alternatives. They are clearly asking if their machine is compromised.

So they just conveniently decided not to sign their releases right around the time they were supposedly "hacked"? Something doesn't seem right here.

So uhh... what exactly did the "state-sponsored actors" do? They go on about how their server was compromised, and how the big bad Chinese were definitely behind it, and then claim the "situation has been fully resolved"

I really hope you're making a lot of money out of this, because if not, this comment just comes across as sad.

Labeling everyone you don't agree with as an "asshole" is the sort of thing that usually leads to echo chambers forming.

A lot of people joined in late 2024, resulting in a peak of around 2.7M daily users, but most of those users ended up leaving soon after, likely because the site was just one big echo chamber of far left American politics around that time.
