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.

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

I'm fine with public records of stuff I have posted, I'd not be fine if you were impersonating me, nor I am if it's a piece of software doing that.

Can we take the ethics of AI seriously? I feel it's about time.

>Can we take the ethics of AI seriously?

If you're not suggesting a law to do so, then no. 35+ years of using the internet tells me that ethics is not included, nor at this point in the game should be expected.

Hacker News publishes this dataset freely to the bigquery data marketplace https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/y-combi... This product was built to connect to your own database but I thought it was fun to connect to the HN dataset

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.

In public you have no control over how someone uses a picture of your likeness

“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…

One thing I noticed is that projects written in Rust always mention it the title (there’s one on the front page right now), compared to other languages that don’t. That probably adds to the numbers

I suspect something went wrong here with Typescript not being mentioned as a favourite. My own recollection is that when discussions of favourite programming languages come up, Typescript is often one of the top contenders, and it's extremely rare for people to prefer Javascript of all languages.

Perhaps this is folding Javascript in with Typescript.

This is not relevant to your point but I want to say that's an entirely third party project and we didn't even know about it for a long time. We don't publish data to them except in the sense that we publish it to everybody: https://github.com/HackerNews/API.

I think their page gives a misleading impression that the project is somehow official, when it's not (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43850991).

People don’t talk about typescript. They’re busy getting shit done.

I say this as someone who likes Rust very much and gets paid for Typescript.

Thanks for the clarification dang. I was misled by the listing which lists the author/publisher as "Y Combinator". Thanks for offering the official API.
