I never claimed that. I am one myself. I'd suggest reading more carefully in the future.

Thank you for sharing this. I 100% believe it, and it lines up with my experience with other people who came from similar backgrounds as Sam Altman - i.e. white, rich, privileged, and attending elite universities. I will disagree with one p

It's the norm now, depressingly. Prior to 2020, It seemed like it might be eventually possible for some of us if we make smart decisions in terms of careers, saving money, and everything else. Post 2020, and now especially with the eco

Are these supposed to be the "skilled" prompts? This just reads as a basic conversation and not as particularly well-written or well-defined prompts. So far everything I've seen about prompting "skills" has just com

Even if they were initially trustworthy, it's surely only a matter of time before they start wanting/needing to make (more) money and start abandoning their principles in pursuit of profit.

Why such strong opposition to getting user consent before doing any of this? Not respecting consent seems to be a very common theme with MS these days, and it really doesn't reflect well on the company or you personally.

Why not get user consent first?

Vocaloids are hardly similar to fully AI-generated songs. Vocaloids are still human controlled.

I'm convinced that the majority of people hyping up AI don't actually interact with many people in real life, let alone people that aren't software engineers.

They're also paying out hundreds of millions to map "creators", the majority of which are pumping out low effort game modes like Steal The Brainrot. I can't help but feel this isn't helping their situation at all. T

There has always been ethical and unethical hacking (and shades of gray in between).

In this case, it's more like asking your friends to take time to smell some feces instead of flowers. Or to be a little less pessimistic, it's like asking them to stop and smell the flowers, except the flowers are fake and plastic

He forgot to actually curl it. Like someone else said, the weights are almost certainly not actually 500lbs. Even elite bodybuilders and strongmen in their prime don't come close to curling 500lbs, let alone an old man. Looking at the

Realistically, it's more to protect from unhinged supporters of the current regime than the regime itself.

There are probably many more people that would profit off of it on HN.

If you're going to spend 3 hours making a post, why not just write it yourself in the first place and avoid the issue and the reputational damage?

If I had to guess as a lifelong California resident, I'd say the salary discrepancy is probably the biggest factor. I'd also guess the weather and lack of available jobs would be the next biggest factors, not necessarily in that o

Why not? Don't you want to stop all the crimes happening in bathrooms too? That would be a logical step if privacy is always an acceptable tradeoff for security (or at least the illusion thereof).

Why do you feel scientists deserve to be punished for being against a political regime that is anti-science?

They'd probably have to specifically focus on mobility and flexibility as well. You really need both of those in conjunction with enough strength.

It often is. The concept of "gatekeeping" becoming well known and something people blindly rail against was a huge mistake. Not everything is for everyone, and "gatekeeping" is usually just maintaining standards.

This is a very strange article. The lament about how Stanford students "said things that made people mad and didn’t immediately apologize", but the example linked is a newspaper story about students screaming homophobic slurs at
