You're overthinking the parent comment, I think. When Dario goes on TV he says things like "AI is going to put 50% of white collar workers out of a job in a few years". The average TV viewer who hears that doesn't know what AI alignment means, they just hear that this guy, whatever his intentions, is threatening their ability to survive in this economy.

> Satellites can definitely do things, but they're not magical and people can track where they're looking and just... sail in a different direction

I know nothing about this really, so forgive my ignorance.

Assuming a carrier is found and tracked by a satellite in the ocean, how could it possibly escape the satellite's detection before being targeted by a drone or some other type of munition? If the ship starts sailing in a different direction, the people (or AI) tracking via satellite would notice and adjust, right?

Claude usage at $20 is basically unusable for serious work. I haven't used Kimi but I'd have to imagine they're offering a good deal more usage for the same price.

Your source says "Right now, nearly 29 million Americans are struggling with an eating disorder," and then in the table below says that the number of "Americans affected in their lifetime" is 29 million. Two very different things, barely a paragraph apart.

I don't mean to dispute your assertion that it's not a niche issue, but that site does not strike me as a reliable interpreter of the facts.

Is it unpopular on the right? Genuine question. I have only seen people associated with the left deny or downplay this.

The per-request pricing is ridiculous (in a good way, for the user). You can get so much done on a single prompt if you build the right workflow. I'm sure they'll change it soon

This is an almost sociopathic lack of empathy

You really don't get how distressing it would be to a teenage girl to have extremely realistic nudes of her spread around publicly, even if everyone knows they're AI generated? Did you try imagining yourself in her place, imagining the social world she inhabits?

They've been saying that since the Boomers were kids, look where that led us

I get the sense you haven't worked with many non-technical people in government or enterprise contexts. I've seen people struggle with their workflows after upgrading to a newer version of Windows, to the point where company wide training sessions have had to be held.

Linux is already integral to the tech and enterprise worlds, which have a lot more money to throw around the consumer desktop space. I'm having trouble seeing how Linux becoming a more popular consumer OS would lead to the types of problems you're talking about, if being a leader in the server space hasn't already led to them.

Also, Linux has a built-in mechanism against enshittification, which is its open source and multiple flavors. Ubuntu becomes enshittified? Move to Fedora. You can have a dumbed down consumer-friendly distro without affecting Arch.

It's gotten to the point where I barely even skim first. I sort of unfocus my eyes and can sometimes see the shape of LLM writing. Sort of like when I'm birding and I switch from eagle vision to owl vision, and I can ID a bird just by catching the way the light reflects off its wingflash in the corner of my vision.

Be aware it's against the terms of service. Google account ban is possible

> Trump will "negotiate" and then in the middle of negotiation start a ground invasion just like they did in the past while they map all the military targets for ground invasion (which is hard to when missiles flying all the time)

Why is it hard map military targets while missiles are flying? Don't missile launches reveal targets? And I would assume that the mapping is mostly done via satellite, which aren't affected by missiles

No

You don't pay anything to use Claude Code as a front end to non-Anthropic models

Hard to say, but GitHub Copilot also allows access to Anthropic, Google and Grok models, so I don't know that a change from a single provider would necessarily change how they bill

Yes, Copilot supports skills, which are basically just stored prompts in markdown files. You can use the same skill in that GitHub repo

It seems like it would be even more true when birth rates are falling

No, I've never encountered that.

But I'm also not sure what qualifies as a bug here, given Microsoft's weird billing model. If you get charged for subagents, you'll burn through your premium requests in no time. If you don't get charged for subagents, you can get nearly unlimited usage of premium mode by using a go-between agent with a cheap/free model.

Currently I'm doing the latter, although I have to assume Microsoft will crack down on it at some point.

It was the unemployment checks much more than the stimulus checks that made a difference. There was an extra $600/week tacked on to those during COVID. I know a lot of people who were making more on unemployment during that time than they ever had made while working.

I use Github Copilot because it's what my job provides to me. But 95% of my usage is via OpenCode (which is officially supported [0]), not copilot-cli or their IDE plugins. The rest is autocomplete in the IDE.

I actually find it to be a great deal, especially because they charge by request rather than token. So if you provide detailed prompts a lot of work can get done for very little cost.

> And you know it was a show, a mockery, because with cases like this where something equally bad happens and nothing will come from it

How is this case equally bad? It's just his private email being hacked, he did nothing wrong.

There are probably about a thousand things you could point to in the Trump administration that are worse than Clinton's private email server, but this isn't one of them.

Just show us the prompt you used to produce this post instead of the output

What part of my comment did you understand to be a defense of Zuckerberg?

Are there people out there with Zuckerberg derangement syndrome, who can't hear about something only distantly related without bringing him up?

Kauai, where Zuckerberg's estate is, has not been affected. So yes, it's been bad for non-Zuckerbergs

Duration of effect matters when it comes to successful treatments.

If we take your position and apply reductio ad absurdum, we could say that cocaine is a highly effective treatment for anxiety, although of course we know that in the not-so-long run it has the opposite effect.

I'm still kind of confused, but opencode itself comes with several agents built-in, and you can also build your own. So what does it mean to use opencode itself as an agent?

Well, I suppose we can agree to disagree, I guess. Frankly you sound like someone who hasn't driven manual transmissions much, though I'm sure you'll tell me you have. I just find it hard to believe that someone could really believe they don't reduce the opportunities for distraction by a significant degree

Let me rephrase my point:

1. Some people choose the maximum amount of distraction they can while still being able to operate their car at a basic (unsafe) level.

2. Manual transmissions allow for less distraction (not zero distraction, of course), because they require more frequent use of both hands, and more engagement of the body in general.

3. Therefore, manual transmissions, if they were widely used, would result in less distracted driving
