GDPR is being changed to allow tracking and AI training without consent, EU only protects people if it’s the interest of EU companies, GDPR is now too costly so it has to be dismantled in certain areas. https://www.computerworld.

I agree, but imagemagick is kind of the worst of the bunch, graphicsmagick is a lot better and libvips significantly so. Ffmpeg primarily suffers a lot from “we need to support the video format used on a washing machine display used in 1981

Because people need to spend time and money on that, which they won’t. The implementation is cheap, the review and follow-up is not (speaking from a pure LLM only workflow). My ratio is around 1:2 currently, so twice as much time spent fixi

I know it well, made me quit one job and I will never work for “it” again. Still, when they go after the dogs I get upset.

As someone who works very close to this I’m well aware, it’s also very visible when you look at trends over decades in most populations. It has significant impact on a lot of people.

There’s a special place in hell for people who would buy a dog food brand only to make worse dog food…

AI is just another way to not use your brain, I think there’s plenty of consensus around the fact that not using your brain makes you dumber. So actually, yes you can say that definitely.

This explains so much... Never knew, just constantly gets frustrated because even if my thumbs are big, no way I press wrong that often...

Also curious about loopholes, could said company start another company out of state that was the outsourcing entity and then the parent company paid that company. You're theoretically hiring from within the US, because I assume said po

Remember how GLM 5.3 was going to cause massive hacks, break banks and ruin everything (it was even newsworthy since media picked up how people were working overtime in preparation). And yet here we are.

LinkedIn is up there too, the reality distortion and appearance of everyone being a self made trillionaire can make the strongest of minds feel like they’re utter failures. It’s of course not true and 90% seem to be pure bullshit, but who h

Thank you for this, the hand waving comparisons of AI and anything else is getting out of hand on HN. Your ”like caffeine is to meth” is one of the more succinct and describing sentences I’ve seen describe the difference.

There’s more to trust than training on data? Most of their products are vibe coded, bug ridden and their uptime is some of the worst in the history of services. How many IT departments let cowork run around freely?

If you use OpenAI or Anthropic trust were never a requirement in the first place.

Except OpenAI and Anthropic has brought in a lot of money, that with this trajectory will make it some of the worst investments in ”software” ever (if it’s true enterprise clients are actively moving away, I know we are but for other reason

It doesn’t even know what day it is unless it’s told. Statelessness is never going to be ”general intelligence” in my book, and the concept of ”memory” in models are laughably bad today. Then again, who cares, AGI means nothing anymore, it’

Second this, some of the worst UX I’ve seen in a long time and a classical example of why you shouldn’t fix what isn’t broken.

Well your CEO went on X saying you will cure cancer, and since it's always a 6 month rolling window with him I can only assume humanity will be cancer free before next summer, amazing!

You should publish, likely a Nobel price or Turing award waiting, and generational wealth at some tech giant.

The never ending creeping need for more power tends to have these results. EU will either collapse or become a mega state that will later collapse, the problem is mostly that people view things in terms of elections, but downfall happens du

They should definitely use wind power, since you could use the fans to cool the computers at the same time! I for one would love a nice HTTP status in the form of "due to the weather being nice and calm outside, AI services are down, g

Fair enough, I don't know if it matters short term for massive buildouts, but I'm sure whatever comes out of this is not a benefit for anyone except the owners.

Pretty insane, expect data center to be data center + coal power plant soon, why bother with generators or the pesky local grid.

Hey Claude, write in the worst possible claudism way you possibly can, and make it sound like every other text on the internet that is published nowadays. "This post covers what pnpm 12 adds that pnpm 11 never shipped."

Was looking for this comment, the tech world has gotten completely insane with ”valuations”. I would love to hear why it was 13 and not 5. It would still be completely insane at 5 billion, but someone though they should add another 8…

Imagine thinking parents stand a snowballs chance in hell fighting against products explicitly made to exploit their children from companies spending billions on it. It’s like 0.00001% of parents that has those skills, if that.

The entire purpose of EU is trade (trading nations don't go to war etc), trade is more or less defined by large corporations, it's through that lens every decision is made and measured.

Well a VA would need access to her account, just like how they would need email access etc. But Anthropic has clearly picked the enterprise side of things, small teams and startups without millions of dollars in token budgets are irrelevant
