> Disputed by who? Yeah, I was gonna say, as conspiracy theories go, this one is pretty much in the books at this point. Fuck man, Tom Hanks stars in a movie about it; that's about as mainstream as it gets.

Notably, the US is on precisely the opposite side of the conflict in 2026 compared to 2006. To put it differently: its stated allies are direct lineal political and military descendants of the parties who were ostensibly its enemies in 2006

It's time for copyright to end anyhow; that's what's gumming up the whole project in the first place.

The opposite of one large unaccountable entity owning the internet is not a different one doing so. To suppose that this next phase of human evolution can be "owned" at all is a bit of a stretch. These behemoths can threaten us w

If humanity's "solution" to AI is to go to the government of all institutions - the very thing we have hoped for the internet to overcome, for a century before its invention - then we'll truly have fallen into a poetic t

It's bizarre that there isn't yet a total separation of certificate-and-state.

I think we'd all consider the tool to be of less value, and perhaps fundamentally flawed. But I don't think it arises to an alignment issue; if I'm able to summon the model to harness my birthright of general-purpose computin

Indeed it needs to happen, and even here on HN, it can be difficult for some to admit and acknowledge. It'd be great for this to be the first major relinquishment of nation-state power to happen without violence, without backroom deals

Indeed. But when the rubber meets the road, even our community has trouble standing behind people taking direct action to disrupt ICE activities. eg: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48727750

I miss autocomplete; it was really fun a couple of years ago. What I'd really like is an autocomplete (or pseudo code to language-of-choice) interface, with my agent continually adding the interactions to its context, so that I can cha

This seems like an orthogonal point, and one that I mostly agree with. But the question is: just because some perpetrators don't deserve second chances, why does that mean that McDonalds and Raytheon get to be the beneficiary of their
