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. :-(

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.

(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.

I wish to create a very minor website which can talk about all of these, I feel like there are some perverse incentives which make these companies show out the good and hide out the bad and our news cycle just keeps on moving and we all follow it.

Also there can be some remarkable mentions as well which I wish to list

Here are some other examples:

OpenAI turning from non profit to open.

Claude code software getting leaked (Anthropic)

X/Grok generating non consensual deepfakes issue (XAI)

OpenAI's deal with Military and backstabbing basically and now pushing for new laws.

The graph thing by OpenAI being so horrendous which I mentioned earlier.

Suchir balaji's death (I genuinely recommend searching this up if someone hasn't for context)

Microsoft Co-pilot things

Anthropic when detected that chinese models distill from them showed that they can view things sent in API and there were some comments related to it which I forgot but it doesn't sound privacy friendly.

The stargate project by OpenAI,Oracle etc. leading to the ram crisis in the first place.

Remarkable mentions list includes:

OpenAI's Sam altman visible stumbled and saying now iconic line ‘Want to sell your shares? I’ll find you a buyer'

People mentioning how these AI companies have reduced the amount of messages people can send and also all the comments about the dumbing down of these models while still charging 200$ 100$ for these things.

Microsoft has named 75 products I think all on Co-pilot

Anthropic treating their mythos model like their own baby in a very psychotic way.

Deepseek giving you answers in high priority in their website when it was first released if you said that Xi Jinping wanted the work (speculation-ish)

I would love if people can give more and more examples about it and I wish to compile a list and have a discourse surrounding this. Thanks for reading this and have a nice day and waiting to read the comments here!

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Vultr is NOT a DMCA ignoring vps. Source: Vultr themselves. There are DMCA ignored hosts like Alexhost Aluy and Avahosting (ava is sister company of Alex)

The em-dash in the title, the new account, I am seeing so many common themes. Something is off.

My apologies. It's a bit late here and I misread it.

And I was completely out of the loop about pricing (ad-blockers as I have mentioned) and so I had genuinely thought the tag was going from 2$ to 15.99 my apologies.

(that being said, it does say something about the society perhaps that I genuinely thought it was within the realm of possibility that google might raise the prices 8 times and people would just be forced to use it, showing the monopoly of Youtube)

I suppose the term for this is called en-shittification, correct?

I feel like this is because of Youtube being a monopoly, which is used by almost all people including here, far more than any other platform I have seen.

We kind of need more Youtube alternatives. I know bandwidth and storage is a hard problem to solve, but we probably need better alternatives if a company can seemingly just charge 8 times more. I mean, raising prices 8 times is seen as a joke by most if not all companies/products.

I personally wouldn't be impacted because I use ad-block and have given my family the same. But to imagine someone either getting so many insane ads (can we now expect ads to be 8 times more too?, I hope I am not giving someone at Youtube some ideas) or people who might be struggling financially because of so many instances to be asked to pay money or be shown X ads in Y time.

I had thought that Google had deep pockets but I genuinely feel like we are all funding the AI bubble one way or another through mechanisms like these and we are having no say in any of these things.

I feel like as the world itself is turning en-shittified and we are all having no say in all of this :-/

You install a working version of youtube from apkmirror and microg core and then patch it with the manager and then install that too.

There are also ways to do the same with cli tools. It's a bit more complex but you can find guides online.

Nowadays I am hearing some news about morphe too, it seems to be a revanced fork iirc, but I am currently happy with revanced so I am gonna stick to that but I can recommend checking out morphe too perhaps

Hope this helps.

I have personally been using Revanced on phones and Ublock origin on my computer devices, highly recommend them

How can a company in current world environment where unemployment and everything bad is on the rise think that the best way is to simply raise the prices.

Also the free youtube experience has degraded so much that I cringe so much whenever I am forced to use youtube without ad-blocker, sigh.

Edit: Its going from 13.99$ to 15.99$ whereas I had misinterpreted it as going from 2$ to 15.99$, though that being said, I find it now a bit both funny and depressing that I fully believed that google might do something like this and people would still be forced to pay. And also the ad blockers are working mighty-fine if I didn't even know the price of Youtube premium.

john doe, you showed up in July 2008 just in time for the global economy to set itself on fire. While you were figuring out how to keep your head up, Lehman Brothers collapsed and the US government started handing out billions in bailouts like they were party favors. By the time you were six months old, Barack Obama was elected and someone named Satoshi mined the first Bitcoin. You didn't care; you were busy trying not to get Swine Flu in June 2009.

// Three more paragraphs

Here you are, john doe, sitting at the edge of adulthood in a world that feels like it’s being held together by duct tape and spite. You grew up watching "once-in-a-generation" events happen every other Tuesday. Now, in April 2026, with ceasefires collapsing and the map being redrawn in real-time, you're expected to have a plan. No pressure. The world you were born into is gone, and the one that replaced it doesn't offer refunds. Good luck with the rest of it, john doe.

I sort of resonate with the last lines. As someone who follows Geopolitics, the last year has anything been but hopeful.

Also the duct tape line is golden in the sense that yeah I believe that the world is just running on vibes-economy and those vibes are being the duct tape.

> You grew up watching "once-in-a-generation" events happen every other Tuesday

this is something which sort of worries me. When I was studying history, I always used to imagine myself asking questions to the people who lived in that time. I am not sure if in future people are gonna be asking me the same questions. I mean, I do feel like we all should be prepared for what answer we are gonna give next generations as to all the mess-ups done. I just hope that we learn from the past and the present to build a more hopeful future.

Jobs definitely had knowledge about coding and other technical issues to do his job. Here's Eric Schmidt on this:

    He was exactly the same way he was at Apple: strongly opinionated, knew what he was doing. He was so passionate about object-oriented programming. He had this extraordinary depth. I have a PhD in this area, and he was so charismatic he could convince me of things I didn’t actually believe.

    I should tell you this story. We’re in a meeting at NeXT, before Steve went back to Apple. I’ve got my chief scientist. After the meeting, we leave and try to unravel the argument to figure out where Steve was wrong—because he was obviously wrong. And we couldn’t do it. We’re standing in the parking lot. He sees us from his office, and he comes back out to argue with us some more. It was over a technical issue involving Objective C, a computer language. Why he would care about this was beyond me. I’ve never seen that kind of passion.
