Not what I remember - we had TechCrunch for that. Hacker News was for hacking - we used to flood the front page with Erlang articles whenever things went off track. Also pro/anti capitalism isn’t the issue - narrow mindedness and a lac

Welcome to HN. It wasn’t always this way, but it sure is now!

This is a dumb question given that being funded by a US billionaire is what shapes their opinion.

Why do you put the onus on everyone else to make excuses? It sounds very entitled.

You’ve taken my comment out of the context I was replying to, so none of what you’ve said is remotely relevant to what I said.

You reap what you sow. What I want to know is why so many people are lamenting actions having consequences?

Wait - does the AI rewrite the tests too? If so, lol.

No it means one thing - they are friend-less sociopaths. It could imply many things, in terms of how that actually manifests in their behaviour. But I don’t care about that at all. I only wish us plebs would stop inflicting them on ourselve

Despite already being familiar with such a person (in the form of Altman), for some reason you are trying to find minor reasons that they are different people, and it’s distracting you from the major reasons that they are actually the same

They’re not weird or random when you’ve lived around many people like him before. Apparently not enough of us have unfortunately, so you keep elevating them when you should know better. So here I am trying to give you a heads up.

This is so true. The obsession with framing things in black and white permeates everything, including unfortunately work in tech. This has always had me keep my distance from “fellow” nerds, despite ostensibly being one.

If you find yourself cheering for one billionaire versus another, you’re the definition of pathetic.

> Everybody values their own time more than other's. This is false, you’re just oblivious to people who grew up in conditions that would make them that way.

I think conflating emergent behaviour with life (let alone intelligence) as we had typically defined it, is unfortunate and obliterates a lot of nuance. I’d much rather we let things burn more quickly - there’s nothing sacred about these co

Do you not think using a word in this way undermines its actual meaning?

Why do you anthropomorphize companies? Is it to absolve individuals of responsibility? > We've all experienced watching a company we love or admire be warped and broken beyond recognition; until it's a husk of its former self,

What alternatives? By your logic only one country should have a launch rocket. Thankfully that’s not a world we live in because that makes no sense. But I’m happy for you if you can be content with a space programme without a rocket, that’s

It’s cultural. It is not difficult to raise a lot of money in the UK. The problem is that the UK (government, investors, employees and employers) got so high on the margins of services and finance in the 90s, that it has never recovered fro

Ah, another fantastic British innovator (YASA) having to realize its potential (and ultimately the downstream economic benefits of commercialisation) abroad. Brought to you by the only country to have a space programme and abandon it.

This is all downstream of people not giving a shit about what they do. It’s not about AI. If it wasn’t AI, it would be some other convenience. There are a myriad of reasons why people generally give less of a shit now, that we can all opine

It’s kind of wild seeing American soft power evaporate like this. I didn’t think it was the kind of thing that would happen in my lifetime.

I’ve met some very interesting people on flights. I’ve done some great work. I’ve had some great ideas. Don’t be so scared of variety. You just keep subjecting yourself to more of the same. The unending familiarity makes you dull.
