    I was simplifying my HN comment for brevity, I didn't just go "you've made a mistake by not hiring me, gimme the job" in the letter.

    Putting all of the ethical issues aside, do you know how fucking boring this would be?

    I like the top reply: > "The true purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill without allowing skill to access wealth."

    I was rejected from a job interview a few years ago - wow 13 years ago now - and was honestly shocked after how well the interview went. I decided to write a letter (email) to the …

    No I'm not, I expressed it... I prefaced it with that to simply say I knew it'd be an unpopular opinion.

    I'm going to get downvoted/flagged but I feel like we need a new type of "Show HN/Tell HN" etc for "New AI Model Available". Front page is tedious these days.

    Sure, they retarget ads they think you might want to see, but the difference is when using Google you are actively looking for something, not passively.

    When you use Google you are generally actively looking for something. When you use Facebook you get ads for things you aren't looking for.

    OP clearly meant that the AI players are not reading and/or honouring llms.txt of other websites when scraping.

    Semi linked: I, like many others, play Wordle daily. When the page loads, there is a button to play todays challenge. Then, there is a very small delay (like 100ms) and suddenly a …

    No, I think "us" is apt, considering this will eventually affect all sites that rely on traffic from Google search, which is basically every text heavy site. All we can hope for is…

    Crazy. I'm sure I paid around $40-70 back in 2016. Honestly Plex has been wearing me down for years but I'm too lazy to move to an alternative.

    I think (a public) phpMyAdmin in 2026 deserves a good bashing. (I have been working with PHP for 20 years)

    My partner and I were planning a West Coast trip for the World Cup this year for my 40th, but we decided to solely do Canada instead. Can't see how it won't end up being the best d…

    I can't edit nor be bothered to reply to all of the negative responses so I'll put it here. Pretty much all of you missed the larger point. PHP was what allowed me to not work in r…
