Have you seen it fly? Hovering for a is not flying

When I saw the headlines “Tesla shows flying car” I got excited, then watched the demo and was thoroughly disappointed. How can anyone write that headline?

Adobe has been grifting us for ages, so…

Even if someone was crazy about facebook, there was a limited amount of content they could see from my friends, you'd be done watching everything in 10 minutes. The levels of addiction we see today on TikTok, IG, etc were not even possible.

I don’t think Meta is bad for releasing open models, but are you really going to ignore all the terrible things they’ve done over the years just because of that?

As for DeepSeek or any other Chinese lab, I’m not aware of any practices that would make me consider them a bad actor. Can you say the same about OpenAI, Meta or Anthropic?

Investors calling to change red cards because the best players should play, etc

Are you asking me to give some of my profits to the workers? Are you a communist? /s

There’s an assumption on HN that everyone can identify AI slop because pretty much everyone here can. But my personal experience and what I think might be more in line with reality is that the majority of social media users can’t tell or don’t care.

How do they save money by hiring people in the US with H1B? Most of these companies have compensation policies so it’s not like they can hire a person at the same level and pay a lot less…

Ex-Googler here, at least in the UK, privacy was taken very seriously by all employees, we never collected data without explicit consent and never used it for anything but what the user granted permissions for.

correct. An example of this is building a WhatsApp client, you need certification from Meta and that seems to legitimate.

I know it feels like this might be part of a big plan against sideloading, but from my time at Google, I’d say it’s more likely to be the idea of some exec trying to get a promo.

It literally says in the article that nothing is going to fully replace it. And the same way that it didn’t happen overnight for it to become the force that it’s today in the global economy, it won’t disappear overnight either.

I agree with the sentiment of the article but I don’t understand the point they were trying to make here:

“Before, you had to go socialize with friends; now, you can just get drunk with a bunch of strangers. Before, you had to go find a mate, create children and raise a family; now, you can just watch a lot of porn.”

I’d think more of Facebook, Instagram and Netflix or the advertising industry in general like weaponized additions than what I do of alcohol.

This argument that the data centers and all the GPUs will be useful even in the context of Deepseek doesn't add up... basically they showed that it's diminishing returns after a certain amount. And so far it didn't make OpenAI or Anthropic go faster, did it?

Facebook, Cambridge Analytica, Sponsoring a genocide… the moral differences between the US and the CCP are imaginary.

I had an incident with a debt collector once(UK), they call me saying I had some pending parking tickets to pay and asked for my address, DoB, etc to confirm it was me, I refused and asked them to tell me the details they had, they refused.

This kept going on for about a year, the legal limit they can chase a debt, so at that point they gave in and share the details and as it happens, it wasn’t me. Don’t even own a car, which I mentioned multiple times.

Anyways, I’d never share my details over the phone if I’m not fairly certain who’s in the other side. This company was legit but had very suspicious tactics.

I think you don't know enough about the EU if you think business will continue as usual...

When the EU says it's preparing for NDB, it's referring to the fact that the Dutch government already hired around 1000 customs officials to deal with it. Business won't continue as usual.
