Meanwhile, the branding of CCP models has confused everyone, and in the age of "free code," branding is everything.

It seems like open sourcing it would be the least they could do after ingesting all open source code to make their models, which are now replacing devs and other IT workers.

Again, I am not pissed at you or anyone in your position. I get it. I am pissed at the Project 2025 type people who destroyed our institutions, and in the decades prior they destroyed our mutual trust in our own country. (With the help of foreign actors ffs)

2025 types declared us the enemy while they took over everything, and it turns out it goes both ways. BTW, I don't mean this in left/right partisan way. The 2025/authoritarian type people don't seem to be aware that they made even non-partisan people feel like they are now being tread upon. There is so much proof of this on HN, like this thread, and many others.

My thesis is that just like every other authoritarian scheme in the last hundred years, these people have not thought it through, and in the end will make their country less powerful. Would be arguably OK if there weren’t even bigger assholes ready to fill the vacuum.

I am not trying to disparage these people, but I am really upset with this entire situation. I genuinely don’t know how we will recover from this loss of trust.

Let's think this all the way through in multiple actual scenarios... nope. Far worse than hiring a lawyer in your jurisdiction in multiple ways.

I was the parent of this thread, and I just want to really thank you for your reply. Really interesting reading. This whole thing might be the topic of our moment.

So, if a US or EU person shares their private legal info here, it's processed and stored by an adversarial country that has no extradition treaty with their country?

"Claude did this, not you" - does that mean that humans have no agency at all when they use an LLM? Is that the argument?

Maybe the norm should be to credit the LLM and harness used, like "I used ___ to help me find an RCE", but I can see arguments not to do that in some cases.

edit: The giant thread with this now got flagged, so some users may not see it.

There are a ton of European results in yours that do not appear in the post's site. Is that because those are colocated?

There is no reason for me to think that Russia will not be the same. Ukraine could be Russia's last imperialist war. That would certainly be a good thing for the Russian people.

It appears that they are well on thier way to supporting all possible runtimes.

It seems like the boring truth just gets lost in the middle.

Using anthropogenic climate change as an analogy, people talk about: it's fake, or 1.5C meh, or maybe Venus! I only recently started to phrase the problem as "what if we just burn all known fossil fuel reserves?" - that is the economic path we are on. Turns out, if we do that, it's >6C and utter catastrophe that we are waltzing into. That should have been the story the entire time, right?

Communication on these topics is not easy, and seems important. We need much better PR for these difficult problems. It's tough just to describe what is plainly happening when there are trillion dollar industries working against reality.

In the nicest tone possible: otherwise, what was the point of your comment?

> Technical ability != building something people want, will use on a daily basis, and provides economic value or enjoyment for humans. Models have been trained to be superhuman at the former, not the latter. Taste is what allows humans to do the latter.

I think finally learned of the role title and the audiobook to teach me about this. It will also be replaced, but one of the last "tech" roles to be automated. It's where the taste lives, right?

Role: Product Marketing Manager - with a tech background and agentic dev skills (although the last part is most fleeting)

Book: Obviously Awesome

If anyone else would care to educate me about this here, please and thank you!

What about p(economic-collapse)? i.e. p(boring)

Where is the discussion by economists on the latter, as that appears to be exactly where we are headed, nearly for sure?

The Economic Nobel exists after all. Shouldn't there be a very public fight over the future on this topic?
