I agree with this sentiment. But as a community, this is hated because it impacts people's wages. It's the negative short term outlook of something that may be positive long term

Smokers can criticize. But they also have to face the cancer that will personally affect them. And hopefully take accountability for it.

This is a fantastic essay. If it makes one liberal/left leaning person rethink, it would have served its purpose. Just goes to show that when pay or compensation is impacted, liberals can turn conservative. It takes strength to avoid t

Interesting. Some questions: Would you say polish is more dense or less dense than english? It's interesting to hear that code quality is not suffering but the response text is sillier or blunter. Any other descrepenacies compared to E

Would the cuwotmers also be willing to pay 2x the price for the product or service? These decisions do not happen in a vacuum.

This will not stop 8 billion other people in the world. After all, it is a competitive global world out there.

LLMs are plenty innovative and generate good quality code by default, and great quality code when directed well. If you're not seeing this, at best you're probably unable to direct them or use them well. FWIW, if you don't be

This will not work until unions deal with the reality of globalization, and push to form a worldwide union, which ensures compensation has no more than 2x difference based on one's country. This is the multiplier where people will not

A better reply would have been: > "This makes me super uncomfortable. How do we opt out?" >> Opt-out is as simple as sending in your resignation to your manager.

Misdirection is misleading, and bad faith.

Good thing we're not talking about a LLM then. From the article: It's a side page agent that has only access to the page, and outputs content in text only, and awaits user confirmation on actions. It's all on the page. It&#x2

1) This is not APT. 2) While injection has potential, this is fairly well mitigated. Look at comet and others. These are all whataboutisms coming from a place of fear.

As a sidenote for this audience - this is multiple magnitudes higher global warming impact than AI. If anything this and daily commutes optimization are the key ways software engineers can directly impact carbon, way more than AI as a tool.

For "hacker" news, this group is reacting like its "labor" news. I get it - this will have an impact on the current ways of building software getting deprecated. But this is genuinely cutting-edge, new paradigm of buildi

Gah - What a dumb take. There's nothing APT about an agent that you can open on a webpage to do things. If anything it's a fantastic accessibility win. Some people's critical thinking turns off when it comes to AI flows.

> I have no clue how it could replace any serious WP plugin. I'll repeat: your knowledge of security has a gap. You can specifically look up on "Principle of least privilege" as is widely used in apps and browsers too.

Sorry I was being polite. I'm part of the free software world, and you don't speak for me. And I like the new freedoms that I have to make more free software and free existing proprietary software by remaking them as free.

The post literally does that. it talks about how plugin access to core is handled. So to be explicit: if you don't see that as a very significant security improvement over WP's open world, then it may help to understand why. The p

Frankly, you're wrong. This is a fundamentally better plugin architecture that WP, and if you can't see it, then it's your understanding of security that's not right.

I mean the creator of the commit takes authorship, just like the auto-complete in old style IDE. Using agents requires a skill, that varies from vibe to advanced. Why do you feel it's not right?

but that is still possible, so what makes you sad? is it that others can build theirs without bare hands? or you are no longer rewarded for bare hand programming? if the latter was it really the "journey"?

What is the FUD? Which hobbyist is fearing being sued? Any credible citations?

Such a silly statement. Of course tech can solve social engineering problem, we do so every day startign from UX design. This is a good solution to killing urgency.

The idea is good, but the project isn't open. So I assume a rust fork will come out under MIT with these ideas, which can be the wider community adopted version.

All this nonsense because of a silly law well past it's due date. Demolish copyright, and let's move on to a world where ideas worth sharing are shared without any blocking. And if someone feels their "ideas" should not

Generalize much? How would you feel if code-as-craft people were called out to be anti-social nerds who spent times on umpteenth rewrite and refactor, didn't care what impact that had on the actual user they were building for?

Copyright's ambit has been pretty much defined and run by US for over a century. You're holding out for some grace on this from the wrong venue. The right avenue would be lobbying for new laws to regulate and use LLMs, not try to
