I am so so tired about AI posts on this website. I am seeing so many of them and comments being AI generated too. It seems that the guidelines aren't being enforced.

I am sad to see this community die in almost real time but within 2 days, I am seeing so many AI generated things. It's getting real bad real fast and real human submissions get undiscussed oh boy. :-(


What is happening to Hackernews, Firstly its obvious that this is AI generated post and then I checked it on an AI text detector website as well and it shows as being clearly AI generated (100%)

I bet this user ID got sold, or hacked. Look at its comment and submission history.

This, give me some french fries from time to time and a house and basic food necessities for human-living and I am happy to be creative.

But what I worry about sometimes is when you snatch that away, then you just lead to stress over basic existence.

> If this goes away, and we have millions completely adrift? With no structure to contribute to? Even with the largest welfare expansion in history, I think we’re preparing for a very turbulent society.

Please look around and just try to remember how many things have happened in a year or two, We are already within a turbulent society but yes I also feel like this isn't the end and the cat is sort of out of the box and the world has to prepare itself for even more turbulences/radical changes.


I respectfully disagree with this statement in the sense that if the whole world ends up becoming like a chess tournament. It would become insanely more harder for us to live our lives peacefully. The life of a chess player is filled with stress.

(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47587863) A comment I had written sometime ago. Aside from a very few at the top, I have seen some chess players regret in a very nostalgic way.

The chess industry continues to allege against each other and we lost a star (Rest in peace, Daniel Naroditsky) because of it. The current world champion himself is struggling from all the pressure put on a 19 year old boy.

We enjoy playing against each other but man it is competitive if you wish to feed families.

Most of us play chess out of leisure. I am unsure how a world where everyone does something akin to chess competitively (ie. for money, as we wish to feed our children and ourselves) would look like.

One can say something similar to UBI might be needed and then we all play chess in leisure, but I don't think that is what most people propose when they mention the example of chess.


17 year old guy who had rocked a dumb phone for an year or two and I still don't use a phone (I have a tablet that lies around but yeah)

I feel heard from this statement, thanks!

> I wouldn't be surprised if there's a backlash among them

The backlash is more than what people might imagine. We are a generation that most of us would have nothing to gain and thus nothing to lose as colleges are diluted more and more and job security becomes a question as we are still connected more than ever seeing all the darkness taking place live time while our consciousness has just sprung out in this chaotic unpredecented world.

Thinking about it, We as a generation are more lonely than ever, more hopeless than ever, more angry than ever. I feel like my generation might be watching phones not out of enjoyment but out of desperation for the day to end if meaning of life can't be derived from a normal place.


I remember the gpt-5 benchmarks and how wildly inaccurate they were data-wise. Linking one[0] that I found so that other people can remember what I am talking about. I remember some data being completely misleading or some reaching more than 100% (iirc)

And this is something which has reached the public eye in one of the most anticipated videos basically. So I find it a bit rough as to think that OpenAI has the best practices for data, and if the public can be shown these inaccurate graphs themselves on based on benchmarks. I find it a bit harder to trust the benchmarks themselves and if OpenAI wants legitimate benchmarks.

Also I find it wild that after 1 month of this, nobody talked about it. I remember thinking that this is gonna be the highlight for a long time that a mega billion dollar company did such basic graph errors. I feel like we are all forgetting a lot of things as our news cycle keeps on moving faster.

(Another tangential point is about the OpenAI/Google employees who had signed the pledge yet nothing came out of it and this is something more recent & I also remember one of your comments on Hackernews.)

> I'm an OpenAI employee and I'll go out on a limb with a public comment. I agree AI shouldn't be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons. I also think Anthropic has been treated terribly and has acted admirably. My understanding is that the OpenAI deal disallows domestic mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, and that OpenAI is asking for the same terms for other AI companies (so that we can continue competing on the basis of differing services and not differing scruples). Given this understanding, I don't see why I should quit. If it turns out that the deal is being misdescribed or that it won't be enforced, I can see why I should quit, but so far I haven't seen any evidence that's the case. [1]

This is a bit off-topic so sorry about that, but I hope that you realize that you did say you will go out on a limb with public comment so please don't mind if I ask for some questions, everyone supported you then and heck, even I thought that maybe I was wrong and I thought that I should trust you more than my gut-instincts because you clearly must know so much more than me/us but that aged like fine milk.

I would really love some answers or your thoughts now on that off-topic thought as well if possible as these are just some questions which are unanswered by you and I would love to have a respectful discussion about it, sorry for catching you off guard, waiting for your reply and I wish you to have a nice day ted.

When someone mentions High-level rust, gleam comes to my mind. Although the language is functional and not OOP, but at-least from the perspective of type-system its well written and it can also hook into the elixir/erlang ecosystem.

I am not christian so pardon me if I am wrong but wouldn't that be the catholic (pastors?) who can preach this message in the the words people understand and I suppose (internet influencers/people online?) will come to sum it up.

Also Pope has to be diplomatic, he can't say for example things like "Trump sucks" words people understand but there is a subtle undertone in the message which convey that.


I feel like as someone who recently worked within helping in the aftermath of supply-chain attack. I personally recommend to instill good practices to sandbox things properly, both as a developer publishing libraries yourself and as someone who uses libraries . There are some good projects out there which can do the sandboxing for you and I am seeing a ton of explosion in this space recently something which is good to have as I had the idea of sandboxes an year or so ago and we have gotten far more options now to chose from.

I have been a bit more involved in the LiteLLM incident but I have read about the axios incident and in my research, I found this to be interesting[0] which could have helped. I feel like there are definitely ways to safeguard things which we should try out.

I don't know too much about Antivirus software so I can't speak about that but I feel like there are multiple interesting projects within this space.

My (personal opinion) is to keep the surface of exposure as low as possible. Relying solely on antivirus doesn't feel the best of scenarios and one of the things that I learnt from all of this is to keep a more active eye on security if-possible and to keep your attack surface low basically.

Prime is one of the most nicest guys and he has a very good positive influence in my life personally which indirectly why is why I am on the forum in some sense and I think I had actually learnt almost all from watching these guys on youtube (fireship,prime etc.)

I am not on twitter or anything as well, but drax has responded to my comment on hackernews once and my comment was a bit critical but he responded and I think he responded nicely and I really appreciate that (It was related to an opencode rce) and honestly, I wish all the people within this video good luck within future :-)

I feel like a lot of people are gonna try to copy what prime has done but I think that this works (atleast to me), because they are mostly humble and nice guys to talk to. Some people are gonna see this and try to replicate it but I believe that this only works the best for them.

Also happy that I knew almost every term, maybe I will try to have this as a ringtone from a certain bar. I really vibed with this and its honestly really good!! :-D
