Huh, are we sure this is just NTP shenanigans and not some super duper dangerous AI agents "escaping" the "containment"?

Hacking open source infra? No, you misunderstand. This is sandbox escape, really just agents being clever and super duper dangerous. Aggressive red-teaming for free really if you think about it. Everything is fine. Sandbox escape. We will p

So... what's the critique here exactly? "Oh hey everybody, Paul is out touch!" - Okay, now what? Rich people are rich, that's truism. Some comments made good counter arguments but this lazy polished ad-hominem attacks ar

In the modern world: any tech proposition that starts with protection of children as a goal can be dismissed out of hand, since it's emotional manipulation masquerading as tech policy. When I hear "protect kids", all I see is

I will be that guy: how is this different from HN? Or the many niche subreddits that already do this? I am seriously asking. To me, it seems like a poor version of subreddits with HN shell to wash it down.

If you read the news with enough cynicism, you'll realize that rules like formality, password strength or cybersecurity hygiene are for the average Joes, not the morons/perverts who run the world.

Instead of the ceremonial complaint and preemptive whining, why don't you consider making the argument coherently and see how people respond? Ironically, the pointless arguments you so despise (and refuse to invite) offer more than wha
