I think maybe you assumed I meant the AI agent would run the company well, or that the mergers would be shrewd business moves. Not at all. But I don't know that they would do any worse than an average human would in the exact same situ

"But an LLM can't go to conferences; they can't have Top Secret Meetings where a merger or acquisition is discussed" Sure they can - especially when conferences are designed to have an API. And when more companies are ru

Yeah - I agree. I'm not sure the problem is Flock (because it will just be replaced with another camera system eventually). That police officers just don't get successfully prosecuted for this because of qualified immunity: that

I mean, the movie "Office space" could have taught you that lesson almost 30 years ago.

The original quote that I was responding to was "No one serious is worried about American solvency. The paper says 50% over the next 10 years, but even most economists misunderstand how the monetary system works. There are so many oth

I think that falls under 'ego', but sure.

"Why do people do these things" Money, ideology, coercion, and ego.

Nothing, and in fact I still do. I prefer the Reeder (classic) app https://reederapp.com/classic/ But two things can be true at the same time. I'm still bitter about Google removing a great webapp from the inter

I'm still bitter about Google Reader going away. I endorse this sentiment.

Are we looking at the same graph? It appeared to drop from the 2020 highs, yes. But it's definitely trending upward.

I think that's a pretty solid (pun intended) metaphor. Past performance is not a predictor of future returns.

Perhaps they should ban news sites that cover gambling.

"The majority of the screenshots should highlight the app’s main features and functionality. Note that splash and login screens are generally not considered to show the app in use." I agree with the feedback. Fix your screenshots

It's the Americans that aren't asking these questions that worry me. It is a significant percentage of the population.

Revenue and profit are not the same. And you didn't even mention the debt these companies have accrued in the last 3 years. References: https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/big-tech/ai-tech-... https:&

Not at all. And to be honest, I don't hear the original author asserting that all AI will go away. But if you have a ChatGPT plan and OpenAI is bought by another company (because they are insolvent) ... do you honestly think you wil

Ah - near the bottom where he is disclosing his own bias. Got it. So do you disagree that AI companies are in very large amounts of debt? And do you also disagree that debt will have real consequences (and one of those consequences might b

"These articles are so off from reality to the point that it can't be taken seriously at all" So you disagree with the quote from Feynman? (the quote that forms the basis of the article) I'm genuinely curious to know wha

I took the same prompts to Gemini and was stunned by the results. The are completely different from the images shown in the article (and genuinely good art pieces that were generated).

And it only costs $110 / month (until it makes a mistake that costs thousands in Github service fees, AWS service feeds, Cloudflare service fees, Vercel service fees, etc)

It feels like a better pricing model (if you believe in your product) would be to give it away to consumers, but take a small portion of each payment when non-trusted senders validate.

"BigBrand gets it from the same supplier" I don't think commerce (especially at Amazon) works the way you think it does. There is a very good chance that when you buy something at Amazon that says it's BigBrand ... it&#x

Amazon could easily solve this problem if they wanted to. They just don't want to.

Why hasn't HackerNews changed the color of the top bar? I thought they did that to honor folks in the tech industry that died.

Software consulting has been around for a very long time. Decades. It has always been overpriced and had huge margins. I think what management consultants are really afraid of is being replaced. By AI.

First, this is true - learning or doing anything does change your brain. This article isn't talking about just that. I personally don't think it's meant to scare-monger, either - although I'm sure opinions may differ on
