I think if certain books happened to not appear in that library, it being state-run might be something to consider. What ever it truly is, America is called a 'democracy', and it had Project Mockingbird, which some, myself include

I was beginning to fear none concurred. We've named a pittance of the many examples. We are even seeing it with the Tyler Robinson (C Kirk) case, where the rooftop footage is null and the responding officer lost his body-cam footage, b

Yeah, and notice all the critical surveillance footage that happens to conveniently disappear? I could start a list, but anyone who knows it won't need one.

So they knock out Flock. Then Axon comes in and replaces them with superior versions, built into streetlights and municipal infrastructure. The sentiment seems reasonable but any expectations that our overlords will ever abandon total contr

I was hoping to bait a conversation, because I sure as hell don't think it was. Thanks for having the nads to mention it here.

Been thinking about this one for decades. There is a lot not being discussed too. We have things neatly compartmentalized to avoid cohesive dialog, eg scrapie for sheep, chronic wasting for deer, CJD for humans, and BSE for cattle -- all si

Most of my analysis is very unpopular and focused on what I believe will soon be the primary purpose of these systems. I called 2025 the golden age of AI, and though it extended well into 2026, I fear it's coming to an end, making way

Are you suggesting the Suchir Balaji case was not investigated?

Regarding the AI-perspective of the emdash being commiserated here... As a few have pointed out, many writers have been using it usefully since long before the blight. The current state of revolt is probably a phase though, as models will l

I think he will change his stance though. The rate of development is a phenomenon in itself, and I would bet me booboos that at some point, he will concede. Whether he admits it or not, well.. Thanks for the clarification.

In Linux, if under XFCE, strangely by default, Clipman keeps a log of all text ever copied, in a giant textsrc file ( .cache/xfce4/clipman/textsrc ) That is kind of the opposite though, and more of a passive, almost furtive,

Then why pretend the question in the first place? Is that how you worked your way up to 40K karma tokens? Low hanging fruit harvests? Look at the sequence: You inquired. I answered. Not finding something funny is not really a good reason to

"These outcomes feel remarkably on-brand for each model family. Claude leaned into careful, rule-abiding governance. Gemini produced maximum drama and creativity. Grok went full throttle into high-agency chaos with little regard for lo

I'd be interested to read his updated version, perhaps reflecting the onset of the AI paradigm. Surely it's on his mind.

ESL? Allow me to explain the theory behind the humor... Grok's art had heavy use of what strongly resembles a permanent marker with lateral-ish scribbles similar to what one might see when someone is trying to mark something as disca

Is this not someone being near infinitely obtuse? HN, the only environment in the world where people will scientifically falsify a joke.

I must admit, I have a natural tendency to overlook C&Bs, but solid catch -- it's there. Perhaps that explains the Mona Lisa redaction; Grok probably put more effort into that one.

The razor-wire at the bottom for Starry Night was clever, and very Grok. Really shows its military spirit. Edit: I just don't see the point of redacting the Mona Lisa

Claude was clearly 'pushing back' on the coziness of the cabin. But I think it did best with the cat. Grok, I fear, is making a case for euthanasia. It's suffering and I think it would be cruel to let it continue. Someone pul

Waste management has a problem. What do they do with the final product? They asked that question and figured out how to turn an expense into a profit. But instead of doing so in a way that would be sustainable long-term, they bought their w

I get flagged when I mention the fertilizer issue around here. I think HN is highly comprised of the very types of people profiteering from this and other crisis. There is a distinct pattern of what gets flagged and buried here, enough to s

I have been 'working' on gathering enough evidence to bypass arbitration barriers and start a class action on this. I have dozens of videos and screenshots and transcripts showing explicit model-selection manipulation in real time

I am not sure if you are alluding to a personal peeve of mine, but maybe? Where to begin.. The big, ignorant, macho, highly confident guys with their mock pick'emUp trucks, glossy touch screens, leased batteries & proprietary BMS,

I assure you, I can throw an Oscar Meyer just as far as a Hebrew National. And let's remember, China conquered the US pork market many years ago ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithfield_Foods ) Porcine aviation

Your intuition needs to meet a Russian. Most whiskey, unless single cask/malt, is ~ 40%, same as vodka.

Let's go Polymark on this one. We have a race to alcohol poisoning. Alice gets ∞ of the Champagne of Beers. Bob gets one bottle of EverClear. Ready. Set. Go I think Bob wins. One could also be obnoxious and argue that liquor is more ea

I have been waiting for this, since late 2024. I hope I am wrong, but the general path has seemed inevitable since early 2026, and compelling enough in 2025. I did extremely primitive threat modeling on this, with AI, in 2025, and I am real

If only they were as easy to detect as morons. One is easily detectable with a single glass of beer and nothing more. The other, however, needs dry ice, or a pint of beer on a slab of dry ice.

In posterity, your grayed comment will benchmark the integrity of the environment here. Grayed, dead, undisputed. Out of sight, out of mind, except for persisting anyway ;) Keep the courage. That's what it was once all about.

Not exactly. Sludge(®) is the product of that. It is sprayed on land, often through coercion (subsidies) and marketed as beneficial. It's waste capitalism. I think it could be fine, for strictly industrial purposes, eg lumber. But not
