> But mostly I’m posting here because this article is a pile of crap.

Classist bullshit from the first title alone.

> Let's say they simply manage to take down the internet.

geez, don’t threaten me with a good time.

I think a month without internet would be a fucking amazing lesson for what it means to make things durable and reliable.

Anytime someone says “there sight to be a law that…” there almost always shouldn’t be.

I dropped Kagi last year. It’s just not worth it. Search sucks no matter who is doing it and now the game has changed with agents that can search more links than I can.

They’re around.

They’re hard at work increasing Meta ad clicks by 1% over the next three years.

I’ve been using different VPNs for years for work. I’m starting to come around to the value of a residential proxy service.

It’s starting to get annoying that things aren’t working. They’re shooting themselves in the foot though.

If they didn’t block VPNs, they would at least know what category to group them in.

> They are worse at coming up with new ideas of their own. What seems to work best is if they are placed on the boundary between two disciplines

This is a fantastic concept. This is where the blacksmith and the baker alone will never come up with the idea for a new furnace that seems rather obvious if you knew both trades.

Completely incorrect. I was an adult then. And had enough sense at the time to realize things were pretty damn great.

2008-2012 was pretty much the height of human civilization.

A few bad moves and it’s been quite a subjective fall.

Same question… but I would assume he’s running Claude Code on a PC that is on the same network.

You give it a key of course! And if that doesn’t fit your security model and threat vectors, simply give the key to another MCP.

Dostoevsky, the Brothers Karamazov!

Oh hell, what truly great novel. It’s a long collection of people’s inner monologues, and it’s confusing as hell at first that every Russian has at least three names. But so good.

Before this: The Subtle Art Of Folding Space… biggest pile of shit I’ve read in years. Fuck. So stupid. If you made me pick between reading it again and a Kristin Hannah… I’d just go get my wine glass and basic bitch sweatpants now. It was supposed to be “modern sci fi” it was actually a food snob that seems like they’re in a cult and trying subtly to tell you how everyone else is so fucking stupid except the smart people that choose to be mentally superior to everyone else. Bad bad bad.

I had this out with one of my employees, they were giving me shit for using Claude Design, and just how many iterations it took to get what I wanted.

I explained that exactly what design is I just lack the skills to do it in illustrator and Photoshop but yes, no one gets it right the first time.

My dad took the keyboard and left the mouse. I did ok, it was annoying using char map to copy letters because there was no virtual keyboard then.

Ended up making common phrases and commands in a txt file.

The theme is that you need to be scared and they don’t really care how they get there. This is the spaghetti phase.

You do know every single European country that buys oil from Russia pays more to them than they do to Ukraine for defense… right?

Are you our there protesting the EU?

And they are the “only ones” responsible enough to have this power. What an amazing coincidence!

It falls apart fast because no golden retriever is finding errors in my CMake file.

While shitting on YouTube and video…

I was taking with a family member about fentanyl zombies. They had never seen the lean/bend. So I pull up Google and click video which is YouTube results… ALL AI. All of it. All a couple months old, all filler, faked, a few scenes stitched together on repeat and AI voice reading AI script.

It is fucking amazing to me that Google let YouTube fall so far so fast.

I don’t even click a video if it’s less than a year old now. Want to see a praying mantis eat a grasshopper? Wonder how clay is refined? Better off with an 11 year old Discovery Channel clip than anything 2026.

They have issues so they had better import people who won’t share their culture and beliefs?

Sweet deal.

Oh like who the media that loves scary things? The “effective altruists” (fucking lol) that are one degree away at most from working for big tech?

My in laws don’t have a microwave because they think it nukes food… one of them mentioned rouge AIs attacking a site called huggingface by name to me… this shit is not organic.

I’m a pretty firm believer that this was intentional and that they wanted it to escape the sandbox.

Woo look at escaped our sandbox, so scary! Be scared! Be scared now! Call your representative and do tell him how scared you are!

Yeah, I mean our sandbox was a paper bag, but don’t focus on that.

Ok.

So… follow out your own line of thinking. Altman and Dario and whoever is at Google are all saying the same thing, and are all required to make moves better for business…

Scaring tue gov into regulation - is good for business.

Another mark in the “they clearly want regulatory capture” column.

Is it as incredible as your 11 day old account is simping hard for 5 trillion riding on like three AI companies?

I shouldn’t be, I’m still always surprised that no matter how silly and obvious the fear mongering and propaganda is… someone is always lining up to vehemently defend it.

This you? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49815127 or do legitimate companies need stealth PR campaigns?

Then what? They make a case to be profitable on their own? Oh noes. The horror!

Or, they fail because the current model is massively sustainable? Also oh noes?

It’s just another cry for regulatory capture which imo is the only way they stay afloat at their current direction.

China is literally only a single step behind and willing to drop free models just to undercut the US companies.

I’m for it because I don’t want another massive Google or Meta.

Have you read anything about the feature?

They’re asserting that all the audio is done on device, and the results of encrypted so they can’t access them even from the backups.

Unlike… EVERY… other tech company, it is in Apple’s interest to be privacy-focused.

Even if you just have to believe them, which you do pretty much, they’re the biggest name pushing for privacy in the world right now. They make more on selling devices than they make on ads and behaviors. It’s in their interest to not lie.

Yea, it’s AGI, and it’s been really helpful! Oddly enough it’s just really loves sharing cat memes with the other instances! Weird, but not at all like all those dooms day scenarios guessed it would be…

Apple’s always on watch has a declared 15 second buffer for live audio, and a worse scenario of summarizing your conversations for later but.. they tell you about it proudly. They also tell you how they’ve managed to do it while keeping privacy focused.

It’s your choice if you believe them or not, I like Apple and I wouldn’t use that feature.

The pretending that this is the same thing, that Apple is sneaking something past you when they’re showing you that they’re trying to do it right is a bad faith argument.
