No. You're misreading the reactions because you've made some incorrect assumptions and you do a fundamentally different job than those people. I legit don't know any professional SWE who feels "threatened" by AI. We

Because it's not a miracle? I'm not being difficult here, it's just true. It's neat and fun to play with, and I use it, but in order to use anything well, you have to look critically at the results and not get blinded by

Yeah. You're not a coder, so you don't have the expertise to see the pitfalls and problems with the approach. If you want to use concrete to anchor some poles in the ground, great. Build that gazebo. If it falls down, oh well. I

Huh. What I get out of this is you can do corporate espionage for like $20. In this case, the corporate espionage is all useless culty nonsense, but imagine you could get something that moved stock prices.

Some of the time it's there to scare the suits into investing, and other times it's nerds scaring each other around the nerd campfire with the nerd equivalent of slasher stories. It's often unclear which, or if it's both

Theoretically possible doesn't mean we're capable of doing it. Like, it's easy to say "I'm gonna boil the ocean" and another thing for you personally to succeed at it while on a specific beach with the cont

> This should have been obvious for the researchers. That's why they do research, to find out instead of just guessing.

I don't see why the majority of engineers need to cater to your niche use cases. It's a programming language, you can just make the library if it doesn't exist. Nobody's stopping you. Plus, plenty of third party projects

Obviously men are people and therefore can vary, but a lot of them rely on women to be their sole source of emotional connection. Women tend to have more and closer friends and just aren't as lonely or desperate. A lot of dudes are pre

Ozempic is a diabetes drug, and there's a hypothesis that Alzheimer's is really a form of diabetes.

Weev absolutely deserved to be unbanked, and he put himself in that position. He's not some freedom fighter.

weev is not some dude with "not-nice" views. He's a sociopath who, among other things, threatened Kathy Sierra with rape and murder and published her address to his online fans to do the same. He would put her address on Crai

I'm sorry, but if you _actually_ think about it, your whole premise is ridiculous. We'll put aside the obvious fact that drug researchers are, you know, people who presumably got into the industry to help people, which includes th

What an oblivious statement. Of course poor folks know how bad payday lenders are. They're poor, not stupid. They use them because they live on razor-thin margins and life happens. Poor folks generally manage their money down to the do

Not the same person, my guy. But if you want facts, let me google that for you. :) Here's journalists documenting ICE arresting citizens. They do not have authority to do so: https://www.propublica.org/article/immi

So what? Still seems like a minor problem. If the paperwork is that easy to duplicate, it's on the government to make it more difficult, not beating in the faces of citizens until they produce documentation they don't have.

6,000 supposed papers for a pool of 5 million immigrants seems like an extremely minor problem that doesn't require shooting food bank workers to enforce.

What proof would you accept? Do you want evidence of ICE ignoring legal others? Citizens who were arrested for no reason? An ICE officer admitting they target people based on how they look and not on any actual legal criteria? Or do you jus

I mean, illegal parking and speeding has serious consequences too. Next time you get pulled over, how about you spending a month in jail, losing your job, and dealing with the unsafe and unsanitary conditions of jail while the police resear

I've heard right wing people claim 2 and 5, and I wouldn't call 1 or 4 "popular" by any stretch of the imagination. 3 is just a weirdly-phrased version of a real problem.

> What I mean is, I don't know that it's up to arXiv to determine what a "review article and position paper" is. Those are terms of art, not arbitrary categories. They didn't make them up.

If you read through the papers, you'll realize the actual problem is blatant abuse and reputation hacking. So many "research papers" by "AI companies" that are blog posts or marketing dressed up as research. They co

That doesn't solve the problem they're trying to solve, which is their all-volunteer staff is being flooded with LLM slop and doesn't have the time to artistically moderate. If you want to blame someone, blame all the people
