It's always both, the people willing to pay someone to make things worse, and the people willing to take the money to do it.

This article existing strikes me as a sign its at least in some context a fad. If someone uses a tool, in this case vintage digicams i guess, to make a piece of art and the use of the tool comes through as part of the statement it was in th

Hedging your bets some will die before they get it/all of it? Keeping your employees sustained while also not giving them enough immediate overhead for creating any kind of wealth? I'm not serious, these are just the first cynical

This is not my impression of how things generally go with China.

"Another reason why the Capitol and the White House wouldn’t want to see Intel fail is because it’s one of America’s top exporters, with its export revenue in 2023 exceeding $40 billion." The capitalist class are the fucking NY Ya

Me too! It's my go-to large text file manipulator. It's also what I keep open all the time to paste things into since it's so easy to open a new tab and it keeps temp files of things i haven't saved until i've close

"...allow us to lead fairly rich lives outside of Warcraft." I didn't get the impression from the article it was otherwise, just that this young man found what he was looking for inside a game and its community. The article f

Their marketing hyperbole has cheapened much of the language around AI, so naturally it excites someone who writes like the disciple of the techno-prophets " High-intelligence AGI is the last human invention" What? I could certain

I think the difference is people on HN are using these "AI" tools as coding assistance. For which, if you know what you're doing, they are pretty useful. They save trips to stack overflow or documentation diving and can spit

I wish I didn't have to be so negative because these are cool, but it's Facebook. Surveillance and ad tech that cause brain rot are what they do for a living. At this point they could just sell versions of these products that aren

Read it again slower ;) There's no outrage, and there's no us vs them. unless you identify personally with greed. I never thought of greed as a 'them' - are you a greed?

I often have to remind myself who hosts this board and that I am hanging out on a site for successful and aspiring techno-robber-barons.

It would be wonderful if the staff report recommendations were taken seriously by our legislators. I think I'll send a copy of this to my reps and say hi.

It seems we go astray when we start defining and evangelizing things that may have worked for some group of people to push them on others. Somewhere in all this process stuff, I see maybe what some teams were doing but I doubt it was as rig

This site has a lot of interesting people that did and do interesting "hacker" type things that keep me coming back, but a lot of commenting is people looking to build things of questionable value, legality, or social good and sel

I agree. We have to raise our personal standards to raise our community standards. The nihilism here is a self fulfilling prophecy and sad to see.

It really is a difficult thing to heal and a difficult thing to know when you've healed. Same with grief. And you're right it takes - relative to our lifespan - a rather long time to start to see yourself again.

You really do have to protect yourself. I think at some point I felt like if I set boundaries I'd get fired, then I realized if I didn't set boundaries I'd go insane which seemed worse than fired so I started telling people &

This is like someone turned the volume down in my brain. I had not seen this, very cool.

Yes! It reminds me of when electronic music, which went through a similar inquisition. I recall bjork at one point saying if the person behind the computers puts their soul into it it will have soul. Something about this article just felt l

In my mind no - because it was hardly concerned with looking at what artists are producing with AI and why its interesting or not interesting, and felt much more concerned with just putting a stop to something it doesn't care for. Whic

I love articles that tell me why something they can't know is something they like to guess at anyway. This is pointless. Art will get made. Artists will use AI to make some of it. The debate about whether or not its art will be part of

This is some serious mental gymnastics, dude. "It wasn't a big thing" - how do you know? You do not. A group of people ask for a place at the table and you and your ilk question their legitimacy as human beings - that's

Amusing that you patronize corporate security for not totally understanding what you were doing, but couldn't deduce tunneling home to grab your data exfiltration - i mean migration - scripts might not be kosher with security.
