I started reading it and found it to reek of AI slop. I couldn't figure out what I'm even reading about and found the text to be unstructured or mis-structured. It also seems to contain a lot of formatting mistakes making me believe that you didn't even care to proofread it.

Sorry to be so blunt, but I have no tolerance for AI a slop. ShowHN is for showing something you built with a lot of care, that people can try out. That can be an AI product. But it cannot be an AI slopped text post pitching your product.

> this is not how the model should behave

It's exactly how it should behave, without any prior overriding of system prompts.

If you didn't write it, why should I or anyone read it?

This is AI slop. Opposed to your claim there is nothing clear about that page. It's really sad how ShowHN is spammed with slop that drowns out people's work. Please stop being part of that problem.

The models are designed to be these fake positive corpospeak yes man assholes by fake positive asshole corporations.

Mirroring real human text is only the basis of training. Afterwards they get aligned a.k.a. lobotomized.

I just found out that in Marshallese hello, bye and love are all the same word: iọkwe

It literally translates to iọ from iia – rainbow and kwe – you: you are a rainbow.

iọkwe

So it's not about labels, but you want the ability to restrict the fields an app has access to rather than an all or nothing – full access to a contact or none at all?

You can use labels for contact scope.

I think the key is whether they expect their underlings to be more formal or if it actually goes both ways.

Just an anti recommendation: Do not use Lastpass. Reading the security breach section of their Wikipedia article should be enough reason.

For anyone reading this who uses LastPass: Switch away!

blahaj — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 01:05:19 +0000

Large groups ≠ Multi Party

Encryption should be the default for anything private. But something that is configured to be public from the beginning like an open Discord server does not need E2E encryption.

Sorry for your loss.

"This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...

after all, we're all alike.

North Korea is an extremely class based society. About as far away from left as it gets.
