Having a negative opinion is not policing. If you want to spend your free time simulating destruction, that is really your thing. It's common entertainment. It doesn't mean others can't share a different perspective on it.

This is probably my own bias, but the Claudlish in that slide deck is throwing me off. There's just part of my learner brain that can't take it seriously if you can't write your own headings.

On the ground, I have definitely replaced peoples' income with AI spend. If you haven't, or aren't even aware of it having happened, I think we're coming from meaningfully different places.

>No AI is going to replace someone who truly was always using humans.

I don't really know what this means. If you need a concrete example, just look at Figma's product roadmap. Look at Fiverr. Your son's teacher is, generally, replacing demand for an educational product with direct production. There was a whole supply chain being replaced with an inference vendor. If you're saying that kind of production doesn't also use generative art, I think you're being very selective.

Anyway, economic analysis aside, the pitch for AI is replacement. The explanation of job market contraction is also replacement. The electorate are responding in their own interests to what they are being told.

Off the top of my head, copywriters, PR researchers, graphic designers, marketers, tutors.

This is the doublespeak that has the public so distrustful: value companies at billions and trillions of dollars based primarily on their ability to replace your workforce, then tell the workforce there will be no displacement. It's insults the intelligence of reasonable people.

Natives might have a different take, but I was recently in Berlin (which you might consider an 'established city'), and this seemed like a solved problem there. Bike lanes are at sidewalk grade, above the curb, with rumble strip or other tactile indicator for the boundary. You do NOT walk in the bike lane, it's just like walking in the car lane.

Considering the rise of additional micromobility vehicles, this is such an obvious solution when you see it in practice.

>My question is what Americans think economic growth in the 21st century looks like?

I think they have very rationally concluded there is no economic growth benefiting them in massively consolidated capital building the infrastructure to replace their small businesses and jobs.

But what you're calling 'talking things out' I consider to be forming thoughts. I want to do that myself upstream of the LLM. I don't want to pay per token for my half-baked stream of consciousness.

This is unfounded pessimism. The genesis of the article is civic engagement that rejected Flock, prompting elected officials, whose decision is then being supported by the police department.

>The nexus of canonical, shared reality now exists online.

I'm not entirely sure what this even means, but I belong to several communities that get together in person and talk about very non-online things. They use email to coordinate, that's about as online as they get. And it's not hard, or a big deal. They aren't neo-luddite revolutionaries or anything, the internet just doesn't come up.

>Am I so out of touch

I don't think the HN audience generally appreciates how many people have fundamental problems with AI in it's current form. Today's ingredient replacement hint is tomorrow's comprehensively enshitified content product.

Also, there's a cultural dimension to cooking; it's not just getting a tasty dish out of it, there's provenance and process, the story and the cache. To some people automating that process defeats the purpose, and I bet a lot of those people would be the audience of a subscription recipe service.

Juul was essentially this scenario.

Sooo, are they reading the md?

This is basically the needle exchange argument. Except instead of just needles, you just want to hand out the drug.

I agree that if a parent is dead-set on giving their kid endless screen time, tobacco, or heroin, they will find a way to do it. But the tobacco story demonstrates there are many interventions that can significantly decrease the net amount of abuse. If you want to take a public health argument, do it honestly.

You're asking if I have a strong argument against targeting children with tobacco products?

This is also a great argument for low-tar cigarettes for children.

The first time I heard "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras" I was appalled. How about we just empirically determine where the hoofbeats are coming from before eliminating the killer zebras as a possibility?

>But that rewriting the base system, every couple of years

To be fair, they did it once, from v7 to v8. But yeah, a major release does break APIs. I'm concerned with how Drupal Canvas is bolted on, but it looks like it's basically a content editor UI that is separate from the site admin UI, which is a good idea.

>You can just Claude Code all kinds of shapes of software.

Drupal is used at large organizations with hundreds of sites, thousands of users, and multiple more-or-less coordinated development teams. It's actually a great target for agentic coding, because it has such a well-established internal API. It can definitely feel like an anachronism, but I think there are few projects that could replace some of it's use cases. It's the B-52 of CMSs.

It isn't quite as bad as when the codebase was switched to Symfony, but the Drupal project has just kind of abandoned it's core presentation system in favor of the new Canvas tool, and compatibility with the rest of the core seems like an afterthought. So now you have at least 3 competing display configuration solutions, which don't necessarily work together, or entirely work alone.

It's a situation entirely inline with Drupal's reputation: they couldn't just get it right, and now serious Drupal teams don't know which way to go in the ecosystem.

>why do I need a middleman for something llm do out of the box?

Why use a token-burning middleman when someone has already done it for you?

>This is just because agents don’t see ads right?

Put another way, because it undermines the revenue that is providing you the service. Working around it is not a sustainable solution.

> is not an option, unless we're ready to first stop all human driving and have the same process for those.

Why?

There are really easy to user docker app managers out there. The author says 'I already use systemd'. I mean, I guess I'm using systemd, but really I'm using e.g. runtipi with an app store, web-based config and logging, and a super easy app template. I can point claude at any project with a docker release and in a couple minutes have it show up in my app store to install, run, simple data backups, etc.

I think calling out AI is pretty 'mainstreamed' at this point, if that's our criteria.

My research on chargebacks to Amazon was that they just ban you.

This is not my experience. I had a package simply not arrive, and Amazon AI said it would replace the missing package (which was a high dollar value). Instead, it just repeated the order, double charging me. I had 3 conversations with human CS promising me they saw the mistake and would fix it, and never did, so I was double charged. After months trying to resolve it I eventually gave up and ate the cost.

I've never had such a poor experience, including being repeatedly lied to by CS, and this was the last straw for me. I honestly don't miss Amazon, I buy less stuff and feel better about it.

I agree, but I think the concept of data provenance would have a role. It should not matter if data is laundered through 'aggregation' or 'anonymization': if it was originally generated about an individual, and used to target an individual, that data should be an expensive regulatory liability.

There was a recent Show HN project that claimed to be 'self-hosted', and the installation included something like 6 service subscription dependencies. That's just a SaaS with more steps.
