The funniest thing is Americans really believe what they have is the best in the world. USA is third world country with a Gucci belt

You're absolutely right but this is HN so any criticisms of the great us of a will earn you a storm of down votes.

It's popular and somewhat fashionable these days to be offended at anything, hate men or be racist towards white people. I think she's just trying to tick all the boxes.

It's the oppression olympics of 2024. Some people just like to get offended recreationally.

One observation doesn't count. It's quite apparent from the many street interviews that the uneducated masses voted mostly for trump

You are absolutely right. Most men don't want to be a nurse just like most women won't prefer to be a car mechanic.

HN is in complete denial of this simple fact. It's hilarious how seemingly intelligent people can be so badly influenced by identity politics.

> thanks to all the knowledge they contain

This is what's problematic with modern "AI". Most people inexperienced with it, like the parent commenter will uncritically assume these LLMs poses "knowledge". This I find the most dangerous and prevalent assumption. Most people are oblivious to the fact how bad LLMs are.

This comparison makes no sense. If this was in good faith, you'd compare Manhattan and the square mile or westminster.

I'm struggling to believe London Brigde area and the square mile get 5x less congested than New York. What areas of London and New York are we comparing?

Yup, most countries in Europe are better to live in than USA. Americans just don't want to be told they're not special.

American exceptionalism is strong in this one.

No, most of us would not like to live and work in the USA.

As always, you guys think too high of yourselves.

New comment by bitcharmer in "Sam Altman Goes Full Emperor"

bitcharmer — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 20:24:53 +0000

This is the new norm on HN. Gang-flagging is rampart but the mods are ok with it most of the time. Altman is a YCombinator darling so of course this post won't stay up long.

bitcharmer — Sat, 05 Oct 2024 17:17:10 +0000

It's funny and somehow disappointing how a year ago HN jerked off to Altman and down-voted any critical opinions of him. Just shows no social platform is free of strong group-think and mass hysteria.

I think you completely missed GP's point. Teenagers ARE much more likely to make a bad decision than other groups.

I wish Hollywood used these amazing women's stories to give us great movies instead of gender swapping male stories.

There's plenty of people who would love to watch.
