The first part of the argument is just noticing that Dario is carefully avoiding making factual claims about Anthropic. Like, if the bank asked you if your construction company was profitable, would it be acceptable to respond: "Well,

Zitron has responded to that claim here: https://www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-really-weird/#does-anthrop... The TL;DR is that Dario likes to talk about imaginary/hypothetical companies a lot in interviews, and those

/ask and /show are sort of HN's version of content/subject silos; posts there can technically appear on the front page but are comparatively less likely to. I imagine they could add a /slop section for AI posts, and

I should point out that simply not reading a blog post that you're not interested in reading is also an option...

It is funny how that's basically one of the core points the article makes -- and in fact the article paints Hacker News commentors specifically as people who don't see that kind of inherent value in craft and artistry -- but the

The easiest way to get this is probably Kiwix. You can download a ~100GB file containing all of English Wikipedia as of a particular date, then browse it locally offline. I'm not sure if it's real or not, but the Internet Archive

It would be deeply funny if SparkFun was referring to Adafruit forwarding inappropriate emails written by SparkFun employees to SparkFun, in an attempt to report their harassment.

by csande17 9mo ago
Appreciate the transparency! The one thing that doesn't quite add up for me is SparkFun accusing you of "involving a SparkFun customer" in the dispute. Can you comment on what that might be referring to?
