I felt the same. I resonate with the message, but it really rings hollow with so much AI directing. I'd wish people would stop doing that. AI writing isn't even particularly good. Its not like it makes you into Dostoevsky, it jus

I'd feel the same when I was younger. Over time I've realized that they are the lucky ones. You too, if you're lucky, will one day be an old man doing old man things.

Calm down dude. Read your own comment: >calm down and knock off the puerile snark. There was no "snark" or personal attack on my first comment, unlike yours, which is now just eristic and name-calling. My mistake on assuming yo

>Yet today’s American political right is not very interested in technocracy. That is a deeply weird statement to make in 2026.

Huge can of fallacies mixed with arrogance, as is typical in HN. Pointing out the "socialist" in NSDAP or whatever is idiotic. Just because they used the same word later used by other people doesn't equate both. You can'

Oh so Antifa is a single formal political party with card carrying members, a clear leadership structure and participation in mainstream public political life? I had no idea. Your analogy makes perfect sense. Where is the Antifa national he

It's wild how it became mainstream in the US to equate Antifa = Bad. Some geniuses proudly, openly self describe as anti antifa. Guess what that double negation makes you?

That's a ridiculously cherry-picked list. What about Iran (1953), Guatemala (1954), Congo (1960), Cuba (1961), Vietnam, Dominican Republic (1965)... I'm still in the sixties. Basically anyone anywhere in the planet other than the

Fascinating. I had no idea. I feel International coverage, and even academic studies on the movement, missed this completely at the time.

That's a warm and cozy way to look at things but its not true. LLM-aided coding is not a higher level tool. It is not writing in C vs writing in assembly. It is closer to asking other people to do something for you and (supposedly, hop

I made a similar comment and was flagged. Seems like AI is now in the same category as Elon Musk on HN: negative sentiment = autoflag.

Revenue isn't profit. Checking whether Claude Code by itself is profitable or not is probably impossible. It doesn't make a lot of sense divorcing R&D from the product. And obviously the running costs are not insignificant. Th

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. Its hard (or at least in my experience) to find people to change career - more so in their mid-thirties. I'm the opposite -- software developer career, now in mid 30s, and the AI crap gets me think

That's some very obtuse thinking. The US has been applying soft power and hard power in South America - to put it euphemistically, as the most recent US intervention was just days ago - for close to a century. The Chinese... haven&#x27

You don't understand. Its different: _they_ were doing it. The Bad Guys. Now _we_, the Good Guys, are doing it. Therefore, the thing itself is no longer Bad - it is Good. The comment above was ironic. I have to specify because supposed
