    TLDR but guessing from the length of your comment, it really is about respecting other people‘s time

    Enthusiastic amateur here. I have no film school or real writing experience. I’d use it to explore branching first. My system has a rich knowledge tree and could write some very de…

    I have a writing assistant working on a script and I’d like to give it access to your tool. Is this a mode of operation you want to support?

    We are all creeping toward old age. Let’s be kind to our future selves.

    Thank you. You listed concrete examples of things you would ban and you stated a general definition. It sounds like a terrible kind of regime, stripped of the freedom of speech and…

    What do you propose to ban? How do you define it? You want a policy, so write the policy and let me read it. I have a very broad idea of what ads are. Maybe you don’t. Say what you…

    Depends on what exactly gets banned. What is an ad? What isn’t? Must all information be paid for by the audience? I wish someone would tell me what this ban is supposed to cover. I…

    What is and what is not an ad? What exactly do you want to ban?

    Others like myself do consider the ads when we read the newspaper. I find out about events and local companies that way. I don’t see many print ads that confuse me as to whether th…

    Advertising is how I learned about lots of things I am glad I learned about. I am furious about lots of the ads that I see. I want to stop certain kinds of advertising. I live wher…

    To those who believe ads are evil and must be stopped, I ask how the world will work if we kill the freedom to sell space for commercial messages where people can see them.

    The first thing your agent needs to know every time it wakes up is where it is. “This codebase is health care SaaS. Compliance is mandatory at all times.” Easy. Makes a huge differ…

    Nicely written headline here. I clicked. I got a white screen and an error in the console. Chrome on macOS. Good luck going forward!

    Cool! I hate struggling with my insurance company and all of the files. It doesn't happen that often, though. I can't see paying $20/mo all year. I'd rather only pay for the servic…

    Tell HN: Use the collective noun "a bungle of agents"

    A murder of crows. A parliament of owls. A flamboyance of flamingos. A prickle of porcupines. A bungle of agents. It works for many types of agents, not just AI.

    I read every word of the complaint before commenting. Nothing has been proved but the causes of action appeared valid to me. I believe in innovation balanced by care and consequenc…

    Thank you for this question. Liability is the driver in this system I imagine. And the goal is not perfection, nor zero harm. The goal is a balanced system. The feedback loop encom…

    OpenAI will want this tragedy to fit under the heading of “externalities” which are costs ultimately borne by society while the company keeps its profits. I believe the company sho…
