This is the real issue nobody else wants to address. Tastes have changed and genres have progressed. A few other old time devs have tried reboots of their games (a few point and cl…

That imaginary integrity never existed. If anything, favors for favors are now less common than they used to be.

Not sure why you're surprised. That's just how business/networking/capitalism works everywhere on earth and it's been like that since the dawn of civilization. And why would Congre…

AI is trained on how people on the internet talk. The message just sounds like a pissed off dude whose style was copied by slopbots.

All hours humming is absolute torture and anyone who dismisses it has lived a very privileged life. Low humming penetrates walls, goes through ear plugs, and can be felt by the bod…

Saying something is only bad if it's a crime is something only an employee of a corporation says. It's not a viewpoint. It's paid for. Very inorganic. People who claim those things…

Turning oneself in doesn't absolve one of a crime. Never did and never will. Shouldn't, either. And companies always try to pretend someone out there is worse and garner fake sympa…

"But another company did some different bad thing" is the excuse employees of bad companies all go to immediately. Just because another person did something bad and hasn't been ade…

I don't assume it's trash. I know with absolute certainty. It's the same as seeing someone posting with one of those old NFT monkey avatars. You know they have nothing of value to …

AI images are the antithesis of self expression. Self expression would involve some actual creation. I don't pick a book off a shelf and call it my own self expression. That's some…

I've developed an internal heuristic that tells me people who think an AI image to fill some blank space in any way improves anything aren't saying anything of value. There's a str…

You're free to test them. See what they do when you say "it's not deleted. It's just inaccessible until I cooperate." Because it's identical in their eyes. People who confidently s…

This is one of those things the other comment calling the law "non-autistic" is referring to. In the eyes of 99% of people, it's functionally the same thing. "Well teeeecccchhhhnic…

Japanese menus are increasingly full of AI pictures as well.

Your edit really illustrates what's wrong with all of this. We can't even get computers to reasonably assume what we're trying to say. But somehow the ultra rich have decided to de…

I think people are for surveillance under the presumption of it catching major criminals. But once it's introduced, they realize its main purpose isn't to nab murderers, but to pun…

Other countries have visas and don't require embassy visits. There's no difference between as ESTA and how other countries do visas.

They're identical but countries pretend they're different. I got an evisa when I went to Indonesia and India. For each country, the process involved uploading a picture, filling in…

Didn't expect to see this on HN, but it's definitely one of my favorite YouTube channels. Most food history content online feels like straight up readings from Wikipedia, but OTR d…

The most impressive thing about Blender is how it feels like early 2000s-era creative software. And I mean that in a good way (blender was actually awful back then, but it's great …

It seems the main use case is having Claude automatically write blogposts about how great using Claude is, then submit them wherever necessary. There's lots of news about the billi…

AI enthusiasts actively want a world dominated by a few massive tech corps that'll steer our thoughts and kill creativity. The envy towards people who have skills that they polishe…

My definition of colonialism generally involves people being subjugated and being treated as less and involuntarily part of an empire. People in Gibraltar are British citizens with…

I was born in a country that has islands and I live in a different country that consists exclusively of islands. The islands spread out thousands of miles in various directions. La…

Gibraltar has been part of the UK for over 300 years and the people are all UK citizens. Forcing those people out or seizing the land from them would be the definition of coloniali…
