    > UBI is essentially redistribution from those who work to those who don't work. If you believe this, then surely you also believe pension plans are the devil? If we can't have UBI…

    I think if the ethos of hackernews has become supporting the MIC because they create nerd shit or to be contrarian then this site has long since lost the way.

    I came here to say the same thing. ModRetro is like if Palantir decided to start selling board games. The company is poison by association and Palmer Luckey certainly doesn't hide …

    Waymo cannot ever be fully sustainable because cars are subject to variable and constantly increasing size. As more individuals own cars the throughput of a transit network relying…

    I've colloquially coined this as the contentification of everything. The goal isn't to actually engage with something, whether it's the writing style, flavor, or artwork on display…

    There's been multiple 'unslop' contests [1] with a focus on AI 'writing' and I agree with the OP that AI writing makes me want to vomit. It's all hollow, bland writing that has zer…

    > Gamedev is a good example of where AI shines, since the risks of fucking things up are not so big Hi, professional game dev here. No it's not. Thank you for reading.

    AI IS the system; the speed with which the rich and wealthy have embedded it into every aspect of our lives and the way it has been trained off the stolen work of millions without …

    You couldn't just characterize them that way, they are using literally the exact same setup that Enron did in order to hide the massive amount of debt and liabilities they had that…

    Seems fine to me. It was decided by a community vote; it's their site and their rules. The people complaining about those damn ideologicsts or whatever seem to be missing the point…

    I noticed this as well. A few days ago I was linked a game engine here when I similarly asked for proof and when I went to the repo and started reading it, the best way to describe…

    I don't think this is surprising at all. I'm pretty sure I've saved my employers similar amounts in the past, because what happens is something gets configured months or years ago,…

    There are some incredibly strange equivalences going on in here that make me think the person in question is indeed quite out of date. The people pushing for the destruction of pri…

    I'm sitting at about a decade of experience and it feels equally bad here. Honestly right now I'm mostly waiting for either AI to blow up and companies to scale back massively or f…

    I see few people actively engaging with the thesis of the article so lemme restate it in another way: We can agree that the invention of the car revolutionized transit, but when yo…

    The article really sums it up perfectly. It's incredibly see to see topical reasons why people fucking hate everything tech touches. You can't buy a TV without it being an embedded…

    Well, for one, we know there were DOGE members that exfiltrated social security data for personal use [1]. And that's only what we know of so far. [1] https://www.washingtonpost.co…

    'humans trained to talk like an AI' is just LinkedIn and I would hope that the last thing anyone wants is for HN to become the utter void that is LinkedIn posts.

    I can't say I agree, I think it's more about the death's you're exposed to. Doctors get to experience the full brunt of how the medical system treats patients, the good and the bad…
