>"Google investing $40B in Anthropic while also competing against them is the most Silicon Valley thing I've ever seen. These companies will fund their own competition just to make sure they have a seat at the table when it wins. Also $800B valuation for a company that hasn't IPO'd yet?? We are so cooked."

Who are you quoting?

Stylometry avoidance is not a valid excuse for factual omissions, fabrications, and "DYOR dumping" (bullshit asymmetry).

Wow. The advisories page is worthy of a post in itself.

Sure, but the source blogpost isn't.

Accepting the megacorp euphemisms without critique ("product tips") is how enshittification festers.

>If you follow the link to the tweet but don't have an account there you'll miss a joke

I read the whole thread and there's no joke here.

AI-generated replies from bots really are the scourge of HN these days.

Anyone know if it's from packaged solutions being sold as a product or if it's people mainly running their own custom Claws?

This reminds me of a scaled-up, crowdsourced AI Village. Remember that?

New comment by da_grift_shift in "GOG: Linux "the next major frontier" for gaming as it works on a native client"

da_grift_shift — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 09:19:41 +0000

Yet the standalone offline installed games won't run without libgalaxy.dylib (Mac) or Galaxy64.dll (Windows) which is responsible for outbound connections to https://galaxy-log.gog.com and https://insights-collector.gog.com?

To be clear: if you buy Disco Elysium on GOG, download the "offline game installer" without using Galaxy, install it, and run the game on a desert island, it will work (the network requests fail open). But if you try to run the game after removing the bundled dylib/DLL, it will not.

Why do Galaxy-free games ship with a mandatory dependency on Galaxy?

da_grift_shift — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 19:29:21 +0000

The README clocks immediately as slop (the exact "AI tells" are left as an exercise for the reader), so clearly this Claude skill didn't do a good job.
