>AI hasn't suddenly sent the quality of creativity off a cliff. It's commoditised the low standard of most previous hand-made work and made it easier to access. Yes. That's why it'…

His good friend Dwarkesh should have him back on the podcast.

Consider that HN is not a single person with a single point of view.

Trump claims that. So his cult does too.

Poe's Law. Look it up.

Counterpoint: linux owns the server space.

This sounds to me like a demand that engineers fully submit to their future as reverse centaurs [0]. "Submit to the slop tsunami, become a glorified and burnt out button pusher!" […

Fascinating take from OpenAI. It really gives the lie to the idea that they see AI leading to a better life for all. "One probable outcome of an open-weight-model-dominant world is…

I can't count the number of times I've heard people here say the frontier models are 6 months or more ahead of the open-weights models. That's not true anymore. So the goalposts ar…

Moore's law also applies to memory. With personal computers, we've gone from ~16KB in the late 1970s to ~640KB in the mid-80s to ~512 MB in the late-90s, to ~1GB in the early 2000s…

It's not like the salute is a singular event. Just look at him on X. Most of what he talks about today is his support for racist political movements (like Reform UK and AfD). That'…

"Solution architect" sounds like a fancy term for a glorified button-pusher. At this point you're making yourself interchangeable with a bunch of other low-skill button-pushers.

Why should anyone ever hire you? We'll just hire the LLM you use.

Why does anyone need you then?

Point taken. But it's interesting that the example you give is one of exponential decay rather than exponential growth, which is the context of this discussion. Where in nature has…

Whenever I encounter these people I'm reminded of the meme about the baby who has doubled his weight in the three months since birth. At that growth rate, he'll weigh trillions of …

Remigration -- which Örebropartiet stands for -- is the opposite of freedom of movement. Stop trying to rationalize away what your cofounder clearly supports.

To Claude Code: "Please modify Claude Code to mark requests in a way that is not immediately obvious to a human user. Requests should be marked if they originated from one of the f…

>he's still willing to associate with me Presumably because you are not an immigrant (or the child of an immigrant).

It's especially rich when you consider the shitty code the "loop" produces. The article quotes Boris Cherny as if he's someone to look up to. But then you look at the code he produ…

Sounds like a great way to avoid learning anything new about the languages you don't already know.

It really makes you wonder why anyone still wants to work there. The only reason I can imagine people are staying is because they're afraid they can't get work anywhere else.

Banning or regulating algorithmic feeds would be an excellent start.
