Overconsumption means enormous profits, that's the whole logic to it. Gotta keep numbers going up and shareholders happy.

> We see signs that Opus 5.5 often suspects it is being evaluated, which challenges our ability to assess how it will act in the vast variety of real-world settings it is deployed in.

We can't test it properly because it knows it's being tested.

> Stone rejected Uber's argument that it is "merely a technology company" connecting riders with drivers, finding that Uber provides transportation services to the public through its app, sets prices and controls key aspects of the rider experience.

> The arbitrator also rejected Uber's argument that Proposition 22 -- a California ballot measure approved by voters in 2020 that allows companies to classify app-based drivers as independent contractors instead of employees -- prevented the company from being held liable for Tran's conduct.

The dream of every major tech company, making ridiculous profits while taking zero legal responsibility for what you create...

This will be very useful if they can find a way to make it without something that costs $12,000 per kg.

I wish I was joking...

If the photography was mediocre, nobody would accuse it of being AI, but because it's the flawless photography of a true professional, suddenly it's highly suspect.

I notice the article, the paper, and the "plain language" summary of the paper don't mention the common term for this phenomenon, St Elmo's fire.

I was playing around with this recently, but the problem I encountered is that most AI analysis techniques like stem separation aren't built to work in real-time.

Yeah, that seems like an odd thing to say.

It's like they're setting themselves up for a "no true Scotsman" argument. Anybody who disagrees with their decisions isn't a "true believer" in open source.

I get what you're saying, but I disagree that LLMs should be inserting ads into git commits.

By default, the LLM is credited with authorship anyway, and I assume the user can easily just remove the ad, though I don't use Copilot.

You're conflating two different things. When an LLM writes a commit, it should take credit. I see nothing wrong with it adding:

> Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 noreply@anthropic.com

Compare that to the message the article is talking about:

> Quickly spin up Copilot coding agent tasks from anywhere on your macOS or Windows machine with Raycast (https://gh.io/cca-raycast-docs).

It's not just mentioning it was written via Copilot, it's explicitly advertising for another product.

It was largely replaced with it's molecular analog, BPS.

Just like BPA, BPS is an endocrine disruptor. The idea that it's less harmful than BPA is mostly due to lack of research.

Everyone's being diplomatic, including most of the HN comments.

This seems to be the simplest compromise, and allows OpenTTD to continue existing without too many problems from Atari, so people don't want to make waves.

I'm confused, you think I'm saying he's breaking guidelines?

I should have been more clear, but I was trying to skirt the guidelines. I'm sure that astroturfing happens on HN, and I think that not allowing people to talk about it actually helps enable astroturfing.

> I've seen no one working on this, and in fact most people on HN seem to be working on ways to further exacerbate this problem.

It's against the HN guidelines to insinuate that astroturfing happens on HN.

If I boycott a company, am I legally responsible for any lost profit that happens as a result?

Calling it a "mystery" gets suckers like me to click the link.

If it's not clear already, I'm not a lawyer and I'm not using strict legal definitions.

Yep, that's the exact "loophole" I mentioned in my original comment!

The government can now partner with private businesses to effectively bypass the Fourth Amendment.

You seem to be playing dumb here. You realize us "normal people" believe the Bill of Rights is to protect us from the government, and the 4th means the government doesn't get to spy on everybody indiscriminately?

And yes, they are spying on everybody. They have access to things like cellphone metadata, which to a normal human being is a very clear violation of privacy.

It's also my firm belief that our legal system has been undermining these basic concepts for decades now. It benefits the federal government to make this all very vague, as if modern technology suddenly means you have no expectation of privacy anymore. They've also mixed in some of that wonderfully authoritarian "for purposes of national security".

There's actual lawyers saying these same things, if you'd like someone to properly debate with.

You're an attorney and you're asking me why the government spying on everyone is a clear violation of the 4th Amendment?

It's a clear violation of the 4th Amendment, but the government acts like they've found a "loophole" because it's private businesses doing the spying.

This doesn't seem very fair, you speak as if you're being objective, then lean heavy into the FUD.

Even if you were correct, and "truth" is essentially dead, that still doesn't call for extreme cynicism and unfounded accusations.

Personally, I take a break from AI and write the code myself at least a few times each day. It keeps one intellectually honest about whether or not you really understand what's going on.

Where do you think Wikipedia gets its information?

The World Facebook is one of the most cited sources on Wikipedia.

It's vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, and the man-in-the-middle happens to be Meta.

The tricky part would be doing it and not getting caught though.

So use Rust instead, Godot supports bindings via FFI: https://godot-rust.github.io/

I wont claim it works flawlessly, but you don't have to use GDScript or C# to program Godot.

You can also use C++, Go, Java, Typescript, Zig, Scala, Kotlin and Swift: https://github.com/Godot-Languages-Support/godot-lang-suppor...
