As an open source - community driven project? Have you looked at the repo on github? Theres thousands of PRs from claude agents or whatever. Yeah really feels like a worthwhile place to contribute lol.

Lol your country and your capitalism helped build China. Wasn't that the thing like ~30 years ago? All the western companies pushing manufacturing into China for increased profit? Capitalism and the west gave all that power away :), yo

An llm doesnt 'prefer' to use anything. Whats different to the effects system just being a type system? Isnt a function that opens a particular file still just a type? Perhaps dependent? Reminds me of mercury which has determinism

Children are more vulnerable and more easily influenced, and so are easily swept up by a new technology being rolled out non-consensually society wide, much like social media ~20 years ago.

You mean the Overton window or whatever has drifted right. Nationalism is a right wing concept.

A theory is something you can test, model, write proofs, do calculations, eg quantum field theory, group theory. Simulation "theory" isnt a theory its a conjecture. Theres no meat to it.

Ive seen HN been filled with plenty of vitrol and hatred. Dang etc does clean it up mostly, but its still often here behind a veneer. Ive also seen really good opinions and ideas. It isnt black and white. And no I dont think that generally,

Probably not the best way to reduce complicated feelings. Do those people not deserve to be able to live and survive or are they all just replaceable?

Probably better to not simply reduce it by just saying X is Y then if it has all that extra complexity and capacity.

Its divided because its the first time the previously more class unaware techbros have been critically challenged by the consequences of their actions - oh shit we might lose our jobs. 10 years ago "Disrupting X" was seen as a goo

Technology is not some pure thing detached from emotions, society, feelings, and consequences. Code isn't just a means to an end for a lot of people. More people are now realizing that society has no protections around losing your job

There is kind of a spec - its capture knowledge work / thought so they can sell it back to you. Just how uber captured delivery/taxi making it all cheap and subsidised to start with the goal is to embed it everywhere and make peo

How could it possibly be open source if it requires proprietary models developed by a few companies to writs the code. Seems like that would make open source entirely controlled by open ai, anthropic et al.

Disagree It is consent - and its a pattern ubiquitous in tech. Idk a random model being part of the software is not a given as much as things are trying to be pushed.

Of course there are different levels of violence. One person inciting hate online is different to bombing a country back to the stone age, but they are both violent. No a traffic offense shouldn't get you assaulted. But big ceo or pres

It's kinda wild - It's now only publicly objectionable when its against an extremely privileged and powerful person?? Oh no !! /s Meanwhile that same person implicitly condones violence - for example getting in bed with the U

Tech and science are political .. they don't exist in some sort of vacuum. Further being "apolotical" means supporting the current status quo.

Consider some more examples: trump or that other conservative figure getting shot. Or the ceo of the health company getting shot. Both of those people condone(d), support, amplify and drive horrific violence. A common liberal reaction to th

Not sure what world you have lived in for the past at least 10 years... HN (and ycombinator) has implicitly enabled, dogwhistled, or pretended to ignore all sorts of hateful and violent rhetoric. Sometimes it hides behind a veneer of "
