Real crab bucket mentality here. We live in an age of wonders, literally the best time in human history to be alive, sci-fi turning to reality as we are on the brink of huge advances in space exploration, computation, robotics, biology, you name it. No matter how good things get there will always be people filled with this sort of rage, but what bothers me is how badly this site wants to upvote this stuff. HN is supp…

I think this is just an extension of the idea that "only 20% of communication is verbal and the rest is nonverbal". We have always understood the limitations of language, most of what is communicated between humans is nonverbal.
Someone get this man a Claude Max subscription already.
I'm certainly on the "AI is over-hyped" bus, so was excited to read this but the links to very fringe political websites at the beginning makes me question the judgement of the author.

You must be living on a different planet if you think the adoption and societal impact Groupon was ever remotely comparable to AI.
I assure you as someone working FoH at the time, Groupon's impact on me was far greater than AI ever could be.
The next time you get a CT for example, it might be an AI system that finds a lung nodule and saves your life.
Or for a negative possibility, consider how deepfakes could seriously degrade politics and the media landscape.
There are massive potential upsides and downsides to AI that will almost certainly impact you more than a coupon company.

Jesus. Unclear why anyone would endorse this blogpost, much less post it on a website focused on computer science and entrepreneurship.

Which artists care about coding AI like Copilot? All the ones I talked to simply do not care. Regarding economic means, I asked them whether they'd care if they lived in a post scarcity society where they could make art all day and not have to worry about their material needs being met, ie they're rich, and it turns out if that were the case, they didn't care about what people did with AI, be it image generation or c…
As an artist, I do not dread AI's artistic capabilities from a philosophical standpoint because its apparent "humanity" is a distilled average entirely divorced from the contexts in which its stolen art inputs are provided. In this way, it is categorically devoid of meaning. As a software developer, I dread AI's capabilities to greatly accelerate the accumulation of technical debt in a codebase when used by somebody…

I'm not saying that they are right or wrong, but you should at least respect their right to have their own opinions and fears instead of pointing to an illusory appropriate content for HN.
