Thanks for the considered response. > I think this is a "vote with your wallet" sort of situation. I agree a 100%. > is the value proposition good enough that people will put up wi…

Aw buddy, you seem to think I'm trying to hurt you . Furthest, thing from the truth. I think you might have had enough HN for today. Take a nap and then eat a snack if you still fe…

That's true, I am less familiar with the workings of cloud services than some are (as relevant as that may be in a discussion about a client that users run on their local machines)…

If by a "finer-toothed comb" you mean telemetry then I don't quite see it as comparable to this situation. Telemetry is disclosed in privacy policies, it can usually be opted out o…

There are some commentors in this thread downplaying the severity of a service provider being less than transparent about exactly what their shipped tooling does on customer's mach…

Copying over my comment from elsewhere in this post: Anthopic choosing to delay their models' invevitable distillation by competitors is their prerogative. That they choose to impl…

Anthopic choosing to delay their models' invevitable distillation by competitors is their prerogative. That they choose to implement it by fingerprinting my access patterns without…

I'm not sure I understand your point. What benefits does treating social/national governence as an industry bring to society? Besides the govt funds it operations through taxation …

It doesn't generate private returns but investing in your worker population definitely nets returns for the public. Also, some might say that upending the de facto copyright regime…

Right back at ya buddy. Nothing quite like seeing a braggart humbled :)

Well, I for one hope you are horribly wrong. And something about this train of thought aligning with just the general quality of your comments gives me hope.

I see your comments scattered across this thread with most converging on this thesis: "The US govt will regulate away the ability of US corporations and individuals to use unsancti…

On the other I think asking someone for a citation to their rather strong claim isn't incorrect. Digging through unstructured HN comments isn't my idea of a good time and being sen…

Why is the grievance petty?

Well you seem to clearly be in the know. Care to share?

I'm not sure I fully understand this "society as a dinner crowd" metaphor you're painting here - who is the govt here and what are taxes and most importantly what is the food every…

I had exactly this happen to me, suffered great monetary losses and had my identity stolen. I've learnt my lesson and have moved on to 1password. At the end of it I couldn't help b…

I didn't realise that one could forcibly require a competitor to disclose trade secrets. Now, INAL of course, but I would think this sort of mechanism would be quite gameable from …

I am curious how this will play out legally. Surely UI enough isn't enough to prove that source code was plagiarised? In the event Papermark chooses to sue how will the defendant d…

> There’s no reason we couldn’t decide that we want to err on the side of employing too many people. One might bring up the personal consequences bourne by surplus employees who're…

I am quite sympathetic to your position. Seeing those who manage to evade accountability consistently paying a heavy personal price was immensely satisfying. But at the same time, …

Perhaps if the rank and file at a company see personal consequence for those in the topmost posistions (salary deductions, demotions, or firing) in response to such glaring fuck up…

In a world which already has the likes of Anthropic and OpenAI, having Chinese labs be a counter balance is decidedly better than the hypothetical where American companies had a gl…

I think the issue is that information was expensive until the owners of capital gatekept knowledge itself. Now that information is cheap to reproduce they'd rather gatekeep the con…

So what? You're a human (I'm assuming you are) and an LLM is not. The law ought to treat humans differently.
