Lazy people shouldn't be using AI.

It was around in 2008. Reddit was flooded with bots shilling for Obama.

#5 is probably the most accurate. I see interviews and tests returning to in-person only.

"Wikipedia is centralized and transparent. Wikipedia pages have unique URLs with an attached edit history. Changes can be made for free, by anyone, and whenever a change is made, everyone immediately has access to it. New information propagates quickly. If an error is introduced, you can undo or correct the change as needed."

Changes can't be made by 'anyone'. There are now zealous content moderators that will block changes they don't like on almost every major wiki entry.

It has the illusion of being free, so the narrative can be changed by a few people. I stopped using Wikipedia as a real source of information years ago.

Are we now going to support the courts going after mass piracy, after it's been supported, en masse, here on HN whenever Aaron Swartz comes up?

I'm a consultant and I've already worked for multiple AI companies that shut down over the last two years. I think the main problem is that they all are relying on the big token providers and trying to capture value with various services.

At some point the token costs will increase so much, it will put all of these AI companies out of business.

Don't get me wrong. AI is definitely useful. The high costs are currently being subsidized by VC and other investors and unless there is a major breakthrough, it's just not going to work in the long-term.

They dumbed it down for the masses.

In the movie, they talked about how their pentesting business wasn't making any money.

Times sure have changed.

People get arrested for stating their opinions on social media sites. Of course they have no freedom of speech.

Haha, like being in the AI closet.

When AI can have sex with you, it will be enough.

China can do no wrong according to Liberals.

Because the gay community loves to find gay storylines where none exist.

According to this line of thinking, anything involving men competing against each other means there is somehow sexual attraction.

This is as offensive as saying that lesbeins just haven't found the right man, yet perfectly acceptible.

I remember when I discovered a remote ICQ buffer overflow in high school. I didn't have the skills to gain code execution at the time, but I created an app that could DoS and crash the client of anyone, if I knew their username.

noblogs encourages and hosts violence and other terrorist activities.

They doxx people they don't like and pass around kids schools/addressess/home addresses/names of spouses, for the sole purpose of violence.

They had a flier for 'laser tag' hosted there, which was a group meet to flash laser pointers in the faces of ICE agents.

I've been following this 'collective' since 2016.

It's about time the US did something about it.

Something that might come out of all of this is that companies that previously slow rolled security fixes will now be forced to fix them quickly, because the speed of AI and the liability of being insecure.

Yeah, underage Russian women.

"But Mamdani did not “doxx” any New York City residents. The same information has been public — and searchable online — for decades."

If your address is in the phone book or a public databases online, but I publish it on my social media account and talk badly about you, would you consider it 'doxxing'? Most people would.

Sure, the information might be public, but posting it to the public and knowingly putting a spotlight on the people that own these properties IS doxxing.

On the contrary, new generations are skipping the fundamentals and using AI instead.

Seniors will become more valuable as that knowledge is lost and AI isn't capable of full replacenent.

I use AI daily and it takes almost no extra brain power to use.

I used to have this same mentality (no credit cards) when I was younger, until my debit card was stolen and someone took $1000. The bank basically shrugged their shoulders and said there was nothing they could do.

I always get my money back when this happens with a credit card purchase. I've also had to dispute things occasionally, and I almost always get refunded.

I have several credit cards and pay them off at the end of the month. I get mostly free hotel stays when I take my family on vacation and have had many free airline tickets.

I also used a credit card to bootstrap my business 15 years ago. At it's height, I was brining in $1 million/year. The bank would have never given me a loan for the amount I was able to use on a credit card. I ended up shutting the business down a few years ago, with no debt.

Most people can't handle spending and rack up tons of debt. Credit cards can also be used to make money, instead of buying stupid things you can't afford.

If this were the case, open source would have driven costs to $0 years ago.

I can't wait until you research the people responsible for Chinese models....

Good luck Canada. The economy is already pretty bad and they can't win a tariff war against their largest trading partner.

"Open source companies learned how to build valuable businesses when access to the code was free."

Open source companies learned that they couldn't make a living from selling software, because almost everyone used it for free. If they want to charge for premium addons, someone can just as easily create it themselves and many in the community feel they are entitled to it and will never pay.

One way to make money is on services. It's a brutal business that doesn't scale well.

99% of all of the open source projects used today are just subsidized by a much larger company that doesn't rely on open source solely to make money. Stallman envisioned doing this, but it ended up being big corporations instead.

"I will say a chronic cannabis addiction is less likely to be harmful to society than alcohol addiction that we are seeing today"

Do you have proof of this?

The difference is that companies can either sue or contact Meta to get the content removed (this happens every day)

This isn't possible when you break into a computer room and steal their files.

The mental gymnaistics people go through to support an asshole that just did what he felt like and wouldn't work witin the system is astounding.

Aaron Swartz should have started a company that supported the free flow of journalim/information.

Instead, he chose to act like a child and steal it instead.

While his death is tragic, he's not someone we should be supporting.

Aaron broke into a room to setup the system to do the scraping.

Much different than scraping web content from the Internet.

I've always thought that the same discipline needed to work remotely, is the same to start your own company. When you start a company, you have the same isolation, lack of coworkers for socialization, and no boundaries between work and home.

It also requires you to be a self-starter.

I've been working remotely since 2007. Thew few times I've had client visits reminds me all over again why I hated working in an office.

"A bad reputation and cultural ignorance are probably responsible"

It's neither of these. A large percentage of Chinese research papers are fake and/or can't be reproduced.

"a ranking of countries by number of papers published in a set of respected journals."

Total number of papers published is almost as good as measuring a developer by the lines of code produced.
