Aibro gets a glimpse at class consciousness for half a second before admitting they are part of the problem and then carrying on.

As an open source - community driven project? Have you looked at the repo on github?

Theres thousands of PRs from claude agents or whatever.

Yeah really feels like a worthwhile place to contribute lol.

Lol your country and your capitalism helped build China.

Wasn't that the thing like ~30 years ago? All the western companies pushing manufacturing into China for increased profit?

Capitalism and the west gave all that power away :), you deindustrialised yourselves.

An llm doesnt 'prefer' to use anything.

Whats different to the effects system just being a type system?

Isnt a function that opens a particular file still just a type? Perhaps dependent?

Reminds me of mercury which has determinism of the function like type signatures.

Children are more vulnerable and more easily influenced, and so are easily swept up by a new technology being rolled out non-consensually society wide, much like social media ~20 years ago.

You mean the Overton window or whatever has drifted right.

Nationalism is a right wing concept.

But why does a particular execution model matter?

elixir/erlang gets compiled into beam byte code. It's a vm. why does this matter..

A theory is something you can test, model, write proofs, do calculations, eg quantum field theory, group theory.

Simulation "theory" isnt a theory its a conjecture.

Theres no meat to it.

New comment by foxes in "Ask HN: Why is the HN crowd so anti-AI?"

Ive seen HN been filled with plenty of vitrol and hatred. Dang etc does clean it up mostly, but its still often here behind a veneer. Ive also seen really good opinions and ideas. It isnt black and white.

And no I dont think that generally, but it just seems like so many tech people here have been kinda mid/upper class/well off. I think a core issue around AI, around a new technology, is the class/capitalism issue, because that is the system we are stuck in.

But maybe some also havent quite connected the dots, and are starting to wake up to the reality of the situation.

It probably also gets astroturfed.

I wonder if all the commits which involve adding tons more test are the basis for a rewrite in rust anthropic marketing event

Probably not the best way to reduce complicated feelings.

Do those people not deserve to be able to live and survive or are they all just replaceable?

Probably better to not simply reduce it by just saying X is Y then if it has all that extra complexity and capacity.

Its divided because its the first time the previously more class unaware techbros have been critically challenged by the consequences of their actions - oh shit we might lose our jobs.

10 years ago "Disrupting X" was seen as a good thing. Now its come for them its a different story.

Technology is not some pure thing detached from emotions, society, feelings, and consequences.

Code isn't just a means to an end for a lot of people.

More people are now realizing that society has no protections around losing your job - what little power they had is going to be stripped away. Or its going to be used to reduce their power - you know have to work more bc you can use ai to do it! Ive already seen this.

Sure ai in a vacuum is a really interesting thing, oh its cool it can produce code or whatever. The underlying issue however is capitalism.

There is kind of a spec - its capture knowledge work / thought so they can sell it back to you. Just how uber captured delivery/taxi making it all cheap and subsidised to start with the goal is to embed it everywhere and make people dependent. And then maybe some hope in the future they no longer have to pay anyone, or maybe pay people far less and devalue them.

How could it possibly be open source if it requires proprietary models developed by a few companies to writs the code.

Seems like that would make open source entirely controlled by open ai, anthropic et al.

Disagree

It is consent - and its a pattern ubiquitous in tech.

Idk a random model being part of the software is not a given as much as things are trying to be pushed.
