Do you think people will enjoy living with a headset strapped to their face? The shots of that dad playing with his daughters while wearing the device seemed like a stretch that I'm surprised Apple took. This is the company that takes

Yeah honestly I'm surprised and disheartened that Apple went this direction. This feels dystopian and less humane in many ways – an accelerant of the physical isolation that we've seen technology create. The shots of people at hom

It’s a conspiracy theory because you believe what Instagram is telling you. Alexa listening was also a conspiracy theory until it was discovered it did just that and Amazon claimed it was a “rare occurrence.” The incentives speak for themse

When are we going to take real action against this? When will execs and investors be held accountable? I have no doubt that every tech company is secretly and illegally surveilling. If data is the name of today’s game, then tech co’s have e

I suspect they’re referring to using blockchain as a system of cryptographically-verified facts and shared reality to counteract the AI risk you mention. Why was GP flagged? They made a good point.

Business that operate in the physical world, like retail stores and healthcare clinics, stand to gain the greatest strategic advantage in an AI world because their data is the hardest to generate and access.

I don’t believe the the US government ever threatened to take Twitter down if it didn’t comply with their censor requests. It’s just that those requests happened to align politically with those running Twitter Trust & Safety. My underst

The media is hellbent on pushing the narrative that Musk is destroying Twitter. It’s actually kind of wild. You see it on here too. I think Musk’s product vision is noble and clear: to make Twitter as neutral and transparent a speech platfo

We have a crisis of morality in tech and society at large. When the ends justify the means, and the ends are in fact unending pursuits of power, then no amount of deception, deceit, collusion is off the table. And yes, people who work at FA

I've been on HN almost since its inception and anecdotally over half of the comments on posts like this are from cranks with nothing productive to offer beyond mean-spirited and tone-deaf criticism. There have been posts of projects by

We have for so long incorrectly believed the mind is both the disease and the cure. This is evident even in our use of the phrase "mental health."

It's abhorrent that VCs and board members do not push their companies to at minimum involve behavioral specialists in their decision-making. Yes, I understand they are driven by profits, but they are humans too, many self-proclaimed to
