But all the senior business folks think AI can do no wrong and want to put it out the door anyway, assuming all the experienced engineers are just trying to get more money or something.

Worth noting that there are business leaders who see high LOC and number of commits as metrics of good programmers. To them the 2000 LOC commits from offshore are proof that it's working. Sadly the proof that it's not will show in

This study raises the question, why do we play games? Do we play to win or to enjoy ourselves. Why design a machine to do what we should be enjoying? This goes for writing, creating Art, coding. Wanting a machine to win is the desire to ach

This is a bit harsh on the HN community IMO. This was all nostalgia to me and not about overprotective parents. that said, looking at it in that light, my kids had none of the experiences you did. I think the overprotective instinct of this

I had the same thought. The kid in the end is looking into the camera like he knows he's about to be cut in half.

Being hospitalized due to AI is not the same as being made psychotic by it. Overdosing on a drug doesn't require addiction.

I live in Jersey and used to work on 3rd Ave. Rather than taking the shuttle or the bus, I just walked it was about a mile from port authority but it was faster and cheaper. NYC really needs more East to West Sunway lines, not that there&#x

Meh, Trump wants someone as loyal and willing to spy on us as he thinks this guy was for China. I love how the right detests regulation but is okay with arbitrarily monkeying directly in the management of a company like this with no rules a

Money is a social fiction following this argument so I can just stop by your place and take yours.

So... Does anyone else wonder if DOGE defunded them and they had to get New Zealand to bail them out of hypothermia? Why are they being secretive about what the emergency was? Ice collapse due to global warming that the administration is in

I feel a lot of the issues I have with "vibe coding" come with what feels like an aversion to creativity. We acknowledge that using LLMs to create video and images is affecting creativity but don't acknowledge that we are sub

Hard to figure out if this was due to Musk or poor quality causing the cars to start failing. Still making payments on mine and it's in the shop for electrical failures to the tune of $3k. I think Musk is a tool, but not as big of one

Interesting observation. There was a thread here recently about LLMs and Art where the OP wh likewise felt unmotivated due to LLMs was accused of creating Art for egotistical reasons. I generally think of my personal projects like I think a

Doesn't this just tip the hand of the whole AI ponzi scheme? Wasn't it the point all along to get folks to trust the results with no documentation so you could spread misinformation? Nuance is not this guy's game at all

Even if they were getting money from a GOP super PAC, any company with a budget would face hardships defending itself legally against nearly infinite budgets on the other side.

AI isn't taking jobs. It's making excuses for layoffs of employees that companies got on loans that carry interest now. Sure AI can help do things, but it's not actually AI, it's sophisticated auto complete. If you had a

Hopefully the fear of foreign actors will put an end to this too. I have to hand it to North Korea on the inventive revenue streams. This is a country under sanctions for decades that has developed some of the most clever IT scams for sipho

I've been a vegetarian for 30 years. Big beef is still raging despite all the Hindus and abstainers. Doesn't mean I'll grill a burger and chow down. It would be great if suddenly the world woke up and thought about consequenc

This behavior works in a competitive, monopoly averse economy. In the US, this means you will eventuy have no alternative to Amazon. I've been thinking about the poor quality and availability of Communist goods in the 1980s. I think ab

As they get bigger competing with them becomes harder and harder as their overhead per transaction reduces due to volume. Eventually they become the only choice. I feel like with Amazon this is nearly the case. Many local brick-and-mortar s

Yeah the agesism is serving the hiring companies that would rather sacrifice quality than cash flow. The issue with retirement goes deeper than the layoffs for the same reason but also is exacerbated by the high cost of living. At the end o

By paycheck my company's CEO is worth 95 senior engineers and that's before stock options. With stock options he's worth 265 senior engineers! (Or 240 and 670 junior developers respectively) He's so skilled he splits ato
