    Yeah, it's creepy, isn't it? I think we will have to have full identification in online forums at some point. I don't know though what could be done against GPT content. Universiti…

    Elon bashing is 99% some companies campaign. There is an amount of money involved beyond our wildest imagination. World economy kind of money. You don't read Elon and Tesla content…

    Exactly my thoughts. It feels like campaign, also in light of many of the responses in here. Has some kind of "look what I made; wow, are you selling?" vibes I'm used to from /r/gi…

    It's what I thought too. Would I be able to tell the difference? That thought really scares me. What if in not so distant future whole threads, comments included, are LLM generated…

    She mentions a diet rich in Protein. Even Supplements like Whey Protein Shakes. I wonder how that extra growth fuel contributes to cancer cell growth. At the very instance kf cell …

    Exactly this. It is by the way one of the main reasons I initially stuck with HN. The lean UI, text based simplicity, efficiently conveying information had me instantly. I would sa…

    And an otherwise sane friend of mine thinks Alexa is dope. I guess it's always a matter of where you draw the line, I for my part, want to be in total control of who gets sent what…

    Isn't it time to just ditch "Stores" all together? We were way past that concept on the PC for decades, how on earth does it help to introduce it to desktop? Let ppl download there…

    As many in here mention, org-mode has a few very good features but is much too complicated to get into. My absolute favorite for self organization is Joplin: - self hosted - markdo…

    I can totally see how staying in a market this volatile - due to Brexit of course! - can pose a too big and complicated task to a startup. That's fine I think. Better to estimate y…

    What great insight! As a developer I wonder how you implement such methods and still be sure the code runs at desired speeds. Benchmarks? I'd really love to see the workflow of imp…
