Yeah, just casually murdering journalists is totally normal. Your username and comment history suggests it might not be wise to take your word as objective truth.

Try harder, sock puppet account :)

I asked ChatGPT about corruption levels in Malta and whether the technology companies pay bribes to officials to get contracts. It was honest in its response and said Malta has serious corruption levels by EU standards. That answers my wondering of why on earth all citizens require a paid service of chatGPT.

> why on earth all citizens require a paid service of chatGPT If all citizens use ChatGPT as search engine instead of Google, their ability to access information and defend against fake news (as of right now) will be significantly improved and we only shift privacy concerns from Google to Open AI, which does seem like the lesser evil.

ChatGPt is not a facts/news service. It's output is canned by it's system prompt. Infact it's cut-off dates far more into the past compared to other AI services. So the "news" it dishes could be outdated unless it decides search web, in which case it can't be better than google.

My saddest interaction recently was with a friend with a 1st class degree in computing and several years experience in software engineering in many prestigious companies. I asked if he had tried out Claude code or anything similar. His answer: My company has scheduled a training course in that so I'll wait :(

It's hard to detect sarcasm these days but in case you're being serious, not everybody will share your feelings.

He is serious. He has an AI company with a vibe coded website.

All positive comments here come from the financially invested or the near-retirement people who need cognitive assistance and are willing to sell out future generations.

This guy is wrong.

It's perfectly possible. Two tables, one stores answer responses only, the other just marks off who has responded. No link between them and you have anonymous data but can tell who hasn't responded. Of course if you record created/updated timestamps on both, insert both records in the same order, accidently record the user code in the response data, take backups in between responses, have identifying questions or jus…

The way I see it:

If the participant has to trust the survey creator, then it is not anonymous. The survey creator can link the data.

If the survey creator has to trust the participant, the survey is anonymous. The participant can lie in the survey, lie about participating, or submit the survey multiple times.

Your example was not anonymous. But you did not break the participant's trust, thank you! (Or maybe you are lying.)

Anonymous example: Sending a clean link to people to take the survey. If not enough answers have been received, a reminder can be sent to all, with a clause, that says: "if you have already done it, you can ignore the reminder."

I am sympathetic to your desire to defend your country, which has many good things about it as well I am sure. But using Hacker News for solely this purpose is against the rules, so don't do that.

Just have IT roll out OpenClaw to everyone, connect it up to their emails, chats, password managers, etc and then click "go". Why not?

Definitely start with the executives, you can't leave them out of such a useful tool. :)

Not that there would be any ill effects from this, executives sit mostly in meetings, they don’t really do anything much besides that; maybe occasionally write a short email. They also don’t have access to critical systems.

It’s much more of an issue with devs

Some key data points, about Malta: Malta is among Europe's leading adopters. The country ranks first for workplace AI usage and third overall for general AI adoption. Beyond AI, Malta also has one of the highest rates of social media usage in Europe. This initiative is less about AI literacy or OpenAI and more reflective of the Malta government's policy of making technology accessible across all society. It's not the…

Curious how on every post about Malta, new accounts show up and post pro-Malta comments…

> in many prestigious companies That's the hint. Most companies >50 employees suck.

Bold claim. I have the opposite experience. On this site I imagine most folks will agree with you, but there are a lot of folks who choose to work at larger companies over small ones.

Next, maybe Anthropic can make Sicily an offer it can’t refuse.

As long as death isn't on the line. They wouldn't want to fall for one of the classic blunders.

I'm just wondering when the US will finally put boots on the ground in Iran...

We had a mandatory ChatGPT training course at work. You had to sign up in limited space classes. This is a large company, needless to say it was chaos to get a significant number of people to participate. I got a spot. We were shown how to copy and paste data from excel and other data sources into the chat interface. We had sample data to work with, there was always someone in class who would say "mine didn't work."…

Half of people are below average, these classes raise the floor they don’t expand the ceiling

Fun fact, studies show human performance follows a power distribution, not a normal curve, implying _most people are below average_.
