It's because Google is the face of big bad evil tech companies to normies that don't understand the first thing about technology.

IP lawyers would have a field day if they had access to the code base of any large corporation. Fortunately, they do not.

This is a classic case of inflating your own ego and intelligence and just assuming all devs other than you are inferior. In reality there is a place and time for "lazy and shoddy code." Writing code is always a trade off between

They can definitely gather and analyze all sorts of data proactively. I'm guessing you haven't used o3 Deep Research?

Europeans consistently support a regulation regime that routinely pushes absurd tech policy. It sounds great to normies so it goes unresisted. But it's a complete fucking nightmare for anyone trying to actually build+ship anything.

Why is Europe like this? I feel like this is what happens when you have a region that can't innovate and only knows how to regulate. Innovators cease to be represented at the government level and the general public equates regulation w

They refuse to pony up for competent talent in ML. Meta, OpenAI, and others out-compensate Apple for ML talent by a factor of 2-4x.

Org level dysfunction. It is likely an exec's pet project. Kind of like how Meta keeps the disaster that is Horizon Worlds going, but much worse because Apple has a monopoly on AI integrations in iOS, and nobody else is allowed to comp

I care about privacy but Siri is so immensely frustrating and terrible that at this point I'd rather just prefer a competent integration with an AI that actually works.

I worked at Apple for a couple years and it wasn't uncommon to see org level dysfunction. But Siri is such a terrible product that it amazes me that the org hasn't been deleted, and that Siri hasn't been ripped out of product

It's an S-curve only so long as intelligence doesn't increase exponentially as well. What would the story look like if an ASI existed?

Really funny to see Sam whining about Elon "playing unfair" while attempting to do this with DeepSeek.

We all predicted this would happen but somehow the highly intelligent employees at OpenAI getting paid north of $1M could not foresee this obvious eventuality.

This is what HNers surprisingly seem to not understand. The risk of the model generating illegal content and then the company getting bad PR from vultures in journalism simply outweighs any benefits of including this content in the training

I hope it dramatically speeds up as AI improves. ASI is likely only scalable route to solving the medical issues that plague humanity.

You are wrong. Your searches are still sent to the original search provider before the redirect extension takes over. It defeats any privacy Kagi could possibly provide.

Those subs are supposed to be for documenting combat, and that calls for violence aren't being removed is a further indictment of Reddit and its users. Why isn't Reddit held to the standard of Facebook or YouTube? It's long p

It takes sooo long for your account to gain enough rep to be able to comment/post again without your comments being instantly shadowbanned as well. I don't know how this site is still in business.

I'd really love to meet some of these people IRL to see how their brain ticks. On the internet I see so many people that make politics their whole life. In the real world I live in a pretty left leaning areas with many Teslas and no on
