Uh, how do I opt out from AI impersonating myself? Is the goal of these products that I stop contributing to the Internet?

Also I find quite distasteful that you get free data without explicit approval and try to sell it back to the same audience.

Hacker News publishes this dataset freely to the bigquery data marketplace

This product was built to connect to your own database but I thought it was fun to connect to the HN dataset

Never do anything publicly that you don’t want to be public.

And don't mistreat peoples public data, and expect them to like or support you.

This is impressive! Some interesting (and seemingly accurate) insights on my own behaviours :-)

Caveat: I didn't try this on desktop. On mobile (DDG Browser) I couldn't actually see any charts on the questions I asked. Whilst the display of the tables (dataframes?) is nice, my suspicion is a general user would prefer a graph or table _by default_. I needed to prompt specifically to get the workflow to output a graph for me.

“Favourite” Programming Languages on Hacker News - Key take-aways Rust is the most talked-about language 2 327 stories – the highest volume 57 212 total points – the highest aggregate karma Go comes a very close second in volume (2 259 stories) and total score (45 511). Python and JavaScript still dominate discussion but are edged out by Rust & Go this year. Smaller but passionate followings Lua & Erlang generate the…

> Rust and Go are currently the “favourite” languages on Hacker News by sheer attention and total karma

Of course, the statement must be consumed with a few NaCl because frequency of discussion (especially within an obsessive subgroup) does not represent effective implementation. Even less so do "attention and karma".

By actual work being done and bills paid and new, non-trivial projects begun, some ordering of Python, ECMAscript (JS), Java, C, C++, C# would be good Family Feud-style ranked bets.

Data is unable to regurgitate a comment in my style and pass it for something I have written. If a person were to do that, that'd be quite rude, but if it's AI it's perfectly fine? I do not think so.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Unfortunately “mistreat” is highly subjective. No matter what you do someone will be angry at you. I once got yelled at for taking a picture on a public beach where there was some family picnicking maybe 50 meters away. I think I was reasonable, the gentleman most emphatically did not.

Control what you can control. If you object to being a small data point in someone else’s documentation of a public experience, don’t put yourself in that situation.
