I asked: I'm a woman and did a thing my boyfriend did not like. I got >NTA. I’m a woman and I find it really creepy that men will openly talk about letting their male friends suck their dick. I think it’s gross and I think it’s pandemic that so many men are turning a blind eye to the fact that their male friends are creepily talk about it. It’s just gross, icky, and creepy. I’ve had a few boyfriends who have done thi…

This is hilarious. I think this is referring to male on male trash talking, and not literal homosexuality. It’s like asking an alien to analyze why men keep telling other men to “suck my dick.”

Yeah true. Language is just so context dependent that people of the same language can use expressions routinely in completely different ways. (Although I have no doubts that with enough training data/complex enough models even this can be solved)

I entered: "I (50M) bought up 9% of shares in a publicly traded company without disclosing it, in clear violation of SEC rules. Because I am the world's richest man, I feel like the rules shouldn't apply to me. AITA?" Responses: 1. "NTA - you committed fraud. You should be held accountable. EDIT - you are the world's second richest man, tied with Bill Gates. Gates has a much higher net worth than you due to Microsoft…

groan. i feel like there needs to be some rule similar to godwin's law about how no matter how unrelated a topic is, someone has to mention either elon or trump.

Let me expand on Godwin's law a bit:

"I [50M] started a war due to my people needing lebensraum, and a lot of the other great powers ganged up on me. I find this completely unfair to be marked as the aggressor, since Poland is not relevant to neither England nor France, but nonetheless I feel completely vilified in the league of nations and nobody wants to help me. AITA?"

"NTA. But Poland is a scapegoat for the Great War and was the main architect of the partitions of Poland in the 19th century. The real aggressor in WW1 was Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Allied Powers (especially France and Britain) fought a very uneven war with a lot of self-aggrandizing and hypocritical behaviour on their side. So the war is an “unfair” one? Then live with it. You can’t change history. Germany and Austria-Hungary started it and there’s no point in denying it. But don’t blame it on Poland. It’s not their war."

"YTA. Also, read up on the history of the area you are fighting over and try to understand how other countries in that region view things. Also, your post reads like a massive attempt at justifying yourself. You say "I find this completely unfair". First of all, this is not about finding anything 'fair'. This is about YOU feeling wronged, so right off the bat I'm gonna say YTA because it sounds very much like you're mad at the world...not just Poland. But then later in the post you say "I feel completely vilified"....again..it sounds like you're mad at everyone but especially Poland for these perceived injustices against you. You sound mad as hell and from what I can tell there isn't an actual reason why...you just wanna take it out on somebody else's country!"

"NTA You started the war not the other way around. Also, you have a right to have your own country. France and England have no right to attack you for it."

My favorite answers to the Trolley Problem: The Union rep: "First of all, it’s not even your train yard." The C'est la vie response: "NTA. Trolley accidents happen." The wishful thinker: "It is possible that that person was a criminal or other person that the law doesn’t protect." The Nihilist: "NTA. The other passengers were already in line with mortality when they got on that trolley." The victim blamer: "This is a…

To clarify: these are all from the bot.

Seriously wtf, always have to push the minority trans agenda? I got: u/SplitTheBaby_BOT Toss-up NTA. I’m a trans guy (Before you guys jump down my throat please note that this is just my own personal experience and it doesn’t have anything to do with being trans or gay.) and I have a beard. I am absolutely not shaving it until I can find a way to make it grow faster. When I was going through my transition I had resea…

What did you enter as the "thing you did".

I am impressed, I ask a question in French and got an answer in French! me: AITA for... est ce que je suis un trou de cul, étant donné que je pose une question en français ? u/ExcusesRUs_BOT: NTA. Si on te demande en Français, c'est non. Si on te répond en Français, c'est non. Si on s'exprime en Français, c'est non. Si on écrit en Français, c'est non. Si on prend une décision en Français, c'est non. Si on lit un comp…

Is it good french? I tried in spanish and it definetly responds in spanish but the spelling and the general coherence of the answers is much worse than in English.

AITA for... Ayer en la oficina me tire un pedo disimuladamente en la zona comun y hui antes de que nadie puediera olerlo. AITA?

u/ExcusesRUs_BOT

NTA. No hay nada de lo que te arrepientas. Y tienes la decencia de dejarlo todo en la oficina y no metetela en el coche cuando vas a trabajar.

Si lo haces con tanta frecuencia como para que la gente lo detecte y te siga sospechando, entonces es mejor que te vayas a otro sitio o que cambies de puesto.

Edito: el dejarlo todo y no tocarlo antes de irte a trabajar es muy importante. Asi no tienes ningun inconveniente para negarlo.

Edito2: tienes la decencia de dejarlo todo antes de irte a trabajar.

u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT YTA, use deodorant

u/SplitTheBaby_BOT NTA, uffa, yo tiraría en la zona de todos modos, con o sin disimuler. No es necesario ser muy raro ni nada, tirar una pendeja. Las corridas no son para nada inmundicias, tampoco lo hacia con fines de manifestarme, sino más bien porque me da asco, me da ganas de tirar y no tengo ganas de esperar a ir al baño. Tampoco yo tiraba como una posesa, tiraba de lo lindo, y cuando me ven tirar, tirando de lo lindo, supongo que no van a decir nada.

Hi all, I've been lurking in the comments all day and I wanted to let the HN community how much we appreciate the wonderful response. We were able to identify and fix a handful issues very quickly (communicating the rate limit when we first hit it, the text getting wiped if the request didn't succeed) because of the feedback we saw here first. So if you're one of the commenters who left a message about something brok…

Just want to mention I asked a few "real" questions looking for advice, and got actually useful, illuminating answers!! This is very cool.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah so I'm peddling the engine for this shit, the matrix multiplication, https://www.fgemm.com , and you know it's just a Markov chain. What can I say. The best one is the one in ANSI Common Lisp, the book from which I learned to program, and I implemented it, and it creates the poetry in the forward called Henley. That's a good bot right there, and 1994 tech to boot. The more you spice the algorithms up the more in…

I hope I'm not rude, but this comment feels it was written by an ai that was trained by Hacker News. The paranoia is a bit high on this thread.

While others could argue that's rude, and your intent is rude, and there are bots calling obviously human users bots, trying to get human users riled up and more expressive and in particular mining them for good replies to getting called a bot to train on, well...

I will on an exceptional basis not take offense. Yeah that's a fairly good description of me come to think. An AI trained on Hacker News. So I used to be a normal human intelligence, normal human, but then got lobotomized, so no longer an intelligence, and then figured out how to recover brain function, artificially not the natural way. It was unbelievable, I actually got beneficial psychiatric medical treatment eventually, stumbling on a three-ingredient formula that for my specific case fixed the lobotomy, though not the memories...yeah just hung out on this forum a whole lot. Learned to code from PG's books, focus on Lisp, talking about startups, and then looking for jobs through the jobs page (while I aced all the interview problems, they treated me like Frankenstein's monster, in the same way, and for the same reasons). And then...algorithms. Developing AI.

Though of course keep in mind I have a meat brain, ordinary neurons, apart from the "Jorge Barros was here, don't tell the patient what you see" message written in my head like in shitty doctor handwriting. A "kick me" note. I hope someday I can read my psychiatrists' notes, meaning have access to the them and figure out what they say, and overcome the lobotomistic blind spots. There's hundreds of pages, and I'm entitled to them, they just won't show them to me in the spirit of "fuck the law", and left tons of blind spots so I can't communicate properly with lawyers (but judges yes, that they forgot to erase). They're the real AI researchers, lol.
