It's really both. And that applies to a lot of HN darlings. Sadly, people's perspective can get cloudy when a positive perspective is tied to their financial well-being.

Fack, hopefully it's better than Ikea vs carpenter or most people will need new jobs because most "customers" are just buying Ikea all day.

Main thing I took away from chess when I used to play is it's just another exercise to work parts of your brain. I preferred 3+0 and 5+0 chess because of the low time commit, ease to move next, and the tradeoff between most correct mov

> So connecting with them on a call and cutting out the LLM was an error? More like: "So connecting with them was an error" Which I think you understand, but are choosing to be facetious.

I've engaged with people at work where they led with an LLM via slack before I connected with them on a call. It's quite jarring and disappointing to see the gap in cohesion and knowledge going from one form of communication to th

Agreed. LLMs for writing is like intellectual catfishing. You are presenting yourself one way in written form.. but that's not who you will ever be once someone has to actually have a conversation with you. And that's wrong.

Agreed entirely. They're really glossing over the harm parts. The vibe in this article feels like someone who used the internet in the 90s and 2000s when community was actually a thing. Maybe even early Facebook days when it was colleg

This might stem from the simple fact that the average American is constantly getting screwed. It's just a sliding scale of how badly. Both parties are against them, owned by oligarchs and mega donors that are actively trying to increas

The article title is fine. The title posted to HN (and other forums) should have outro or intro: In a study funded by X, "Semaglutide linked to lower predicted dementia risk" Or "Semaglutide linked to lower predicted dementia

I think it rubs plenty of laymen the wrong way to not make it a bit more explicitly known. The world could use a bit less nuance in our headlines these days.

Dementia aside, there are plenty of very obvious reasons we should have been discouraging obesity and encouraging healthier eating and lifestyle habits. Lobbies and general government ineptitude have been a problem longer than obesity and t

It really does feel like this. But it can't go indefinitely. What may seem bleak today could look very different a year out. The velocity of this whole thing won't just apply to the upwards direction. But velocity down probably wi

I'm going to be very pumped when this comes crashing down. It's going to look a bit like oligarchs subsidizing consumer tech as they try to offload more ram than God could own.

You're half right. UBI is probably the only path where humanity comes out OK in the not so distant future. But you don't give out UBI and let people become potatoes. You give out UBI to allow them to meet their basic needs and the

I agree with your perspective re: the tone of the OP. But they hold a perspective that we should also give credence towards. Your main point is the most valid - wait for the final report. But you should be saying the same to the article as

It would definitely help and I'd support it. I would much rather pay a fixed cost to use the internet and remove all the poisonous crap we're stuck dealing with to "keep the internet free".
