I love cloudflare, seriously. Not sure what it is about the brand, but their products feel delightful, they feel like an honest business, they have great free tiers, their tech is “cool” and they seem to innovate a lot (I.e the recent AI blocking program etc). Just moved all my domains over from Whois.com (who on the other hand seem sneaky, don’t have auto renewals and slam you with an 80$ restoration fine for domains you forget to renew, and charge extra for basic security that should be free). Couldn’t be happier and wish cloudflare all the best!!

Do you get a 3rd opinion and go with the consensus? Genuinely curious what people think.

With crypto.. that it makes on Polymarket-like ways, or creates its own content? Or blackmail humans? :-) I'm not entirely serious with my comment and do agree with you that there are lots of more immediate safety topics we should address before worrying about the AI becoming self-aware. That said, finding ways of accumulating valuable resources could be intermediate activities the AIs will attempt to do to complete it's 'goals' even when they're human-set!

It seems to me like hackers, innovators and entrepreneurs are generally more open minded

This seems super cool. What’s sobering to remember though is that it was invented 20 years ago and only just got FDA approval earlier this year

I hate people linking to paywalled articles, wish it was against the HN terms.

Here’s another link to an article about the acquisition; https://siliconangle.com/2026/08/16/stripe-reportedly-finali...

New comment by daniel_iversen in "Delayed Gratification – Proud to Be 'Last to Breaking News'"

daniel_iversen — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 23:48:53 +0000

The ABC in Australia feels so opinionated and tilted to the “left” side of politics whenever I’ve watched it on the TV. And it may just have been that news show or the specific host but it makes it not enjoyable to watch when it seems there’s always an “angle” and negative undertones and people constantly having an axe to grind. I’d personally like a bit more neutral news that also leans a little more on the positive and inspiring side.

I'm from Asana so I'm probably biased too :) and I agree single-player agents are easier, but multi-player agents that understand end to end workflows etc. are very powerful. That's what we've built and yes it took a lot of thought and time to built it in a way that it would be privacy conscious and not leak the wrong thing to the wrong people etc. I haven't player with Buzz yet but signed up and admire them for thinking differently and trying to build something interesting.

But isn't there the raw intelligence of a smart model and then the practical intelligence fuelled by how many parameters it has? You probably will barely be able to fit a 70 billion parameter model on a phone in 3-4 years let alone a 2+ trillion parameter model... so it depends on what you call intelligence
