    I don’t think the parent comment was trying to equate the two, but rather pushing the argument to its logical extreme to test show that the reasoning doesn’t hold consistently acro…

    > HN is showing (expected) dismissing attitude towards this idea. That tells me it might work :) ! I recently learned the name of this logical fallacy: Galileo gambit. It’s one of …

    I’m on the same boat. I get why people do it. Writing prose is significantly slower than consuming it, but there’s still a part of me that thinks “if you didn’t think writing was a…

    We have three major foundational models not including Grok. When the defense for a company is basically “yeah they host csam in the platform but is that really worse than the other…

    It really is that simple. “Users of company with a long track record of unethical behavior surprised at the company’s latest unethical business decision.” I know it’s not easy for …

    Ask HN: Is AI helping with personal projects/tools? What's your stack?

    I have a couple of personal app ideas that need simple cloud storage. I was hoping Claude/Codex would be able to help me put something basic together quickly, but I've been underwh…

    Growing up, I’d wonder how people could work for companies like cigarette manufacturers even after it became well known that their products wreck havoc on your health. This comment…

    Damn this comment really made the anti-unionists come out of the woodwork. I’ll admit, I’m a bit skeptical and think it’s not a given that the benefits you listed will come to be. …

    I read the parents comment as sarcasm and not a serious suggestion.

    > it was born of some arrogance that they were speeding towards the inevitability of AGI I think it was partly also PR. Google, OpenAI and Anthropic are fighting for mindshare and …

    He was on stage and had a mic. I don’t know that the students had a lot of options to make their voices heard in the situation. And since folks like Schmidt already have access to …

    I get that credit cards are a barrier of entry but I’m more willing to give providers a break now that AI agents make it much easier to abuse free tiers. It’s also harder for small…
