It’s reductio ad absurdum. No one cares about teapots in space either (Russel).

Weird. Reading your comment, I had similar adjectives about HN posting. Learned helplessness (according to Wikipedia) is about being convinced by your environment that you are incompetent. Part of the feedback loop of the culture is not jus

Nazis or not, I’m pretty fed up with that glaze of a quote that goes something like the most brilliant minds of my generation are occupied with optimizing ads. There’s no condemnation, just a wistful yearning for the big brains to be unfe

It’s a culture of learned helplessness, which you demonstrate.

You have to have a certain degree of intelligence in order to be convinced by stupid ideologies.

Important tech people on HN seem to be surrounded by technical excellence while the user data leaks and other sociological externalities happen to trail all the nearby paths.

Yep. The consolation is I guess that it might be better if developers with such modest means as “splurged on” two 20KUSD~ work stations (and left in the “poor house” for a few months, oh my) are competitive instead of absolutely all of us b

Standard disclaimer from me that if you are forced to do it by people who have power over you then that is different from doing things voluntarily. You can still “just quit your job” but you have less agency. I also use AI, not for muh agen

This looks like research just three months too late, to be honest. In the Agentic Timeline I’m not worried about Alzheimers. My Google Glasses paired with ChatGPT can tell me where the power button is.

Now I get it. The context read so badly because it was written as a critique of complete bugmen.

Anti-unionists are here to tell us that consumers might possibly suffer. Higher prices and delays on a video game. Which has not seen a release in this series in half this century so far. For all this consumer cares, great. Make it 20% more

> AI is an opportunity. On the one hand, it can be used to let our minds and social lives atrophy. On the other hand, it is an opportunity to help our minds grow. Most people will make the lazy choice. But you can choose to do otherwise.

Misses the mark IMO. You can already do all of these things. Just do them. As long as I get to fire half of my employees and you hit the token quota it’s all good.
