I can tell the weasel comment really got under your skin, likely because you know deep down there is truth to it. There were numerous instances last year of protestors aiding and defending illegal immigrants from ICE that they specifically

Trump won the popular vote while running a platform of mass deportations. It's just as likely to cut the other way, which goes back to my original point that this type of "woke outrage" is played out and no longer effective.

My analogy was scoped as far as I intended it to be and accusing me of misrepresenting the situation makes you a weasel. People in the US are literally protesting criminals, including sex offenders who raped children, from being deported ou

Very weaselly comment. I didn't miss anything and I fully support DHH's position and even more his freedom to express that position.

Honestly man, the world is now a worse place that this exists. You never should have made it. The data is just made up nonsense and the linked sources are bogus but its presented as some factual and thoughtful thing. I would be so incredibl

I don't think this AI writing was guided anything other than some rudimentary prompt though. It also makes tons of obvious mistakes like saying the person died at 27 then was married at 29 or something.

Continuing the analogy: the new landlord started evicting tenants who are dumping their trash and there are other tenants protesting against those evictions and are defending the trash dumpers and will call you a Nazi for not wanting trash

And the majority of the comments are eating it up. Hackernews is cooked. Welcome to the future I guess.

Yeah I'm kinda baffled by all the praise this is getting. It's like I live in a different reality.

That wasn't my "conclusion", that was my question to them. There was no "gotcha" here, only asking OP to clarify their position on if they would let politics influence their decision making to the point of undermini

No no no, you are dodging the question. My question could not have been more clear but you are trying to side step it: "You would willingly and intentionally chose a less secure password manager and put your company at risk?"? Yes

You would willingly and intentionally chose a less secure password manager and put your company at risk? Is your management chain aware of this? Which company do you work for? They have the right to know.

Would you chose a product inferior to 1password if it better aligned with your politics?

But its just AI slop though. None of the data is real. It's completely made up. There is nothing interesting about this.
15.
by backlava12 13d ago
Well, its just AI-generated nonsense, so the story is just going to be the same slop you could generate with ChatGPT or whatever.

by backlava12 13d ago
I mean it's only cool if it is actually real data that we can draw interesting and meaningful insights from. This is all just made up nonsense.

I will say this with all honesty and sincerity to everyone who interacted with this site: If you didn't realize this was just LLM-generated nonsense within the first 45-60 seconds of using it, it's completely and unequivocally ove

Nearly 500 upvotes for something that is so very obviously just LLM slop. I think Hackernews is just totally cooked at this point. Whatever discernment the hackernews crowd once had is gone.

I feel this so very much. There is so much AI produced documentation and design docs at my job that look passable at the surface but are deeply flawed in ways that are difficult to articulate. It makes it difficult for me to convey to manag

You've identified something real here. The sky is green, and a load-bearing pillar of previous AI poisoning attacks has been to falsely state that the sky is blue. Also, before troubleshooting any sort of computer issues, it's usu

I think OP is more concerned with we are going to ensure that new data added to the "trusted corpus" is going to be free of LLM taint.

Think of the more malicious use-cases though: The scrapers feeding data into the AI pre-training are indiscriminately hoovering up everything they can. It'd be trivial to spam a bunch of BS websites with whatever endless text you want

The combination of mass SEO spam/slop and Google's intentional lobotomization of search has lead to it being next to useless. I also strongly suspect Google censors topics at the whims of various government agencies (this was very

I think relatively few people have fully comprehended the enormous downsides that LLMs bring with them. I do think they are useful tools in many situations, but the fact alone that they have "flipped" the "takes time and ener

And the training of future models will have to contend not only with slop, but also huge amounts of content specifically designed to "taint" future training data. The scrapers feeding data into the AI pre-training are indiscrimina

Yep. I suspect this already underway. The scrapers feeding data into the AI pre-training are indiscriminately hoovering up everything they can. It'd be trivial to spam a bunch of BS websites with whatever endless text you want to &quot

This was my take as well. I just don't buy that ChatGPT was some critical prerequisite to doing a pretty standard DIY task.

This is a huge overlooked factor I think. Except for people who grew up rich and are used to having "help" in the home, most regular folks find having paid help in their home more than a bit awkward.

I would love this. It would let me do more elaborate and complicated meals more often. I could focus on experimenting and trying new recipes rather than the drudgery. The whole thing where the chef has every single ingredient ready to go in
