Well, if Carmack wants to give gifts to AI companies then he's free to do it, but it doesn't mean that other people want it too. I think this debate is mainly about the value of human labor. I guess when you're a millionaire,

To understand why it's happening, just read the downvoted comments siding with the slanderer, here and in the previous thread. Some people feel they're entitled to being open-source contributors, entitled to maintainers' time

As far as I know, there's still no real RISC-V equivalent to Raspberry Pi, and I think that's what early adopters want the most. The closest thing is probably Orange Pi RV2, but it has an outdated SoC with no RVA23 support, meanin

Did you paste the wrong link? While the OP of that thread was accussed of using LLMs, the thread doesn't really match what the article describes. I think this one is a much closer fit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?

I find it worrying that this was upvoted so much so quickly, and HN users are apparently unable to spot the glaring red flags about this article. 1. Let's start with where the post was published. Check what kind of content this blog

Right, the website lists the accusations with links, but the links seem unrelated to the accusations. For example, I'd expect "criticizing expert medical and scientific consensus on healthcare for our minors" to link to some

But to my eyes, this PR does look like spam. It has no description, its title and commit messages are meaningless. Changing random auxiliary files is also a common sign of PR spam. This PR really looks no different from other spam PRs tha

Also, they talk about "echo chambers" and "full spectrum of global perspectives". Representing all perspectives sounds great in theory, but how far should it go? Should all politicians' remarks be reproduced verbati

I think this is the wrong direction. We need better journalism, not better summarizing aggregators. Summaries are no substitute for real articles, even if they're generated by hand (and these apparently are not). Summaries are bound to

I suppose these figures don't include the worst-behaving crawlers that hide their identity, e.g. by using residential proxies.

This is one guy's project with extremely misleading branding that suggests it's an official EU project. It certainly succeeded in misleading the public, as evidenced by the amount of publicity it received.
