The README is slop, so I truly don't care.

The game itself looks fun! The copy is awful. Which I suppose is expected at this point. It reads like the same Claude-ified marketing site slop we get in every third HN post. Why …

Asking it explicitly is entirely, unavoidably, incomparably different from OP.

You should apply that big learn-y mind of yours to the policy around commenting. Don't be an asshole.

Yes, I understand normalcy bias. But who's talking about a collapse? Not OP. They say they are in an existential crisis, but not what it is, other than a vague "machines are gettin…

It feels so surreal watching all these things. People are still going to work. People are still planning vacations. And you know what. Maybe they are right and I am wrong. Maybe in…

Titling articles isn't about warning you.

We didn't add this for the post. It's just what the swarm already does, and it's the same machinery behind Script Workflows. What we hadn't done is measure it against Anthropic's o…

I've not really enjoyed finding out lately just how few people seem to notice what ought to be unmissable.

it's one password to everything You are entirely mistaken. Passkeys involve a third party storing a public key on their infrastructure, while you hold the private half of the key, …

You should just read more about this stuff and try using it. The high-level questions you are asking suggest you don't yet have a great base-level understanding of the concepts.

Just like fully extending a ladder brings the moon closer.

I don't disagree with any of the points in the post. They're even framed better than the average "I love using AI because X" post. Unfortunately, you won't become a better writer l…

The second thing is not an ad hominem, it's talking about what he did or how he did it, not who he is.

Marketing departments everywhere have been letting internal corpspeak just leak out lately. OAI's announcement shutting down Sora was similar: > To everyone who created with Sora, …

Low-effort, low-quality self-promoting slop, of the sort where you assume that significant errors are present, so obviously generated (and unedited!) is the text, but it's hardly w…

What, you don't like your caveats to be honest?

Freedom of expression is inseparable from the right to privacy. Should journalists be forced to reveal their sources if the subject of a claim sues for defamation?

How exactly do you suggest blocking ads that appear inline in your LLM chats

These are solid conclusions/lessons to take away for people working in creative disciplines. Enforcing constraints on yourself can be rewarding and productive (the 3% rule), and fo…

With AI, I can finally build what I've been dreaming about. What was your dream before AI, exactly? Not to build a VCS for agents, presumably. But the entire value prop here is cen…

It's a useful term but humorously risks becoming auto-exemplary.

All the benefits you're describing apply to the present moment; people with knowledge, self-discipline and expertise can leverage LLMs to great effect. How many people like this wi…

How do you measure the bundle of "skills" that comprises critical thinking? And if that's your analogy's distance running, what's the "riding a bike" analogue?

I'm genuinely trying to cut down on complaining about slop writing, but how are you going to say: Ask yourself where you’re using technology to replace human moments rather than am…
