Unfortunately most of what gets posted to HN or could conceivably be posted here is already LLM generated to some degree. Because content of interest to HN tends to be written by the same people who increasingly prefer to use an LLM for eve

Ansel Adams had a process that incorporated on his understanding of optics, film, light and aesthetics. He didn't just point a camera in an arbitrary direction and push a button. I don't think a monkey could take an "Ansel

But building a website like the one posted here was already possible. you compared it to the early "indie" web. There is literally nothing about generating websites with AI that merits being called "the most exciting thin

I had it happen twice that I can remember. Once I hallucinated that I had a third arm that snaked around to my desk lamp, and just last night that someone whispered "hello" into my ear. Apparently that last one's pretty commo

People were already building cool side projects to completion and giving them love before AI. You get downvoted for being weirdly ecstatic about AI "enabling" things that were already possible, while not caring about the human ele

So "intent doesn't exist in any meaningful sense?" You're requiring me to first solve the hard problem of consciousness before making an argument you consider credible but I have yet to see a counterargument on your part

The nature of creativity is an implicitly philosophical matter, and you can't criticize me for that when you're putting qualia on the table. Semantic arguments aren't interesting. Do you believe that creativity doesn't

Like a lot of people you may be confusing randomness with creativity. You can make a Markov chain generate the phrase "imagine a lighthouse milking a cloud." That doesn't make the Markov chain creative. Creativity implies int

Except for the part where the author never actually calls for government censorship to "protect the children" or anything of the sort, sure.

Hack was the better language for so many reasons. It should have killed PHP instead of the other way around and I'm still annoyed about it.

A thread on HN about the CIA and feminism? I'm grabbing some popcorn, this is going to be entertaining.

Arguably having numerous decentralized, small and insular sub-networks hostile to change and growth makes them not worth the effort of corporations to co-opt and control. The biggest problem with the web is that there is only one.

I'm not pitching it per se, I'm just claiming that's what I think the endgame for AI is. Corporations (especially in the medical, pharmaceutical and insurance fields) are already masters at avoiding legal liability. What are
