FWIW I enjoyed your articles. You write very clearly.

As a neutral participant I think “the hostility” is probably because of your condescending tone when you said “hopefully it helps your confusion”. Your initial article really didn’t say anything about people being re-incarcerated for these

I think the confusion is probably coming from the fact that the one reference to people being potentially re-incarcerated is buried right down the story. > Harkins said that since last October, she has seen 30-40 people ordered back into

I have never seen a Pelican on X which used to be called twitter in about 1872. Keep up!

When AGI comes it will come as a pelican and gobble up all these troublesome little fishies who gripe and whine and moan about pelicans.

Good grief. You’re no fun either. This whole thread is lots of no fun. Pelicans are fun.

This is a hugely misleading editorialised title. The page title is "Can I opt out of my input or output data being used for training". Right at the top of the page it says "In certain cases, your input and output data (such a

Hello Felix. Can you say why my additional usage credits have suddenly vanished? [edit] only asking here as last time I raised a support request it took six weeks before anyone responded.

What do you mean by “considering how much we take from the public domain”?

Yes they do. As a kid our (admittedly not particularly lavish) family summer holiday was paid for each year by the modest royalties my father, an academic, received from a couple of academic textbooks he had authored.

Yes, that’s correct. There are people who make money directly from the copyright on the patterns. The parent commenter means that the people referenced are selling the patterns, not the garments.

One of the things that I think a lot of people get confused about is "writing" vs proper written communication of ideas. HN is full of people posting AI-generated copy-paste "writing" about whatever it is they've bu

A somewhat misleading article or at least headline as this is about households which will not account for people paying for AI subscriptions at work unless they are using their own personal card.

Eye-bleeding Claudeslopped is this week’s best expression of AI frustration.

Haha! Well done for putting in the effort to find those. I was sure I’d seen it more than once but didn’t want to overrreach!

Pretty sure someone else also promoted Claude to make something like this and posted it a few weeks back.

I don’t find AI drama prose interesting to read, I find it exhausting and annoying. But as you say, each to their own.

Because it’s nonsensical chewing gum. I just read the whole thing to see if I was missing something but it’s not changed my opinion. You have to plough through so much dramatic garbage to get to the actual message. I’m glad you enjoyed it,

I don’t feel hoodwinked. There’s just zero point in letting AI write stuff like this because it’s such egregious bullshit. If you want to write something, write it. If you want AI to parade something for you, what are you actually looking f

I was going to say “is it just vibe coded conspiracy bullshit” but the “no snark” rule held me back. I’m glad we came to the same conclusion, you just expressed it better ;)

Only if that writing style is “incoherent bullshit”. From the article: “It talked itself into helping me by checking whether it should. So it does have some sort of soul. I said that out loud, to an empty room.” What?!

So much breathless AI verbiage on the page and yet I still can’t work out what this is meant to do.

Artisanal human slop took time - hours, days, weeks - and some effort to produce. AI slop can be produced in seconds, minutes or hours, at the click of a button.
