Perfect. Meta is doing good things as of late, like telling the UK govt to fuck off with the 'drop E2E encryption' bs. I hope more tech behemoths start to stand their ground. Companies trying to maximize their profit >>>

In any sane place this would be satire, but this being HN, I'm not so sure.

I see what you mean. I think that despite the noise, one can still tell what's real or important, and what's not, intuitively. This sense can get distorted when a government can spend billions of dollars/yuans pushing a speci

I completely disagree. All throughout history the "experts" or the "most authoritative sources" were proven wrong againd and again. I'm sure lots of things we take for granted today we'll be proven wrong during

Why? I honestly don't care who or 'what' wrote something, as long as it is useful. In fact, after a certain point there's no way to actually distinguish human-written content from AI-written content because it's the
