I think the Labor Theory of Value is going to bite these companies and the economy as a whole in the end

They do not have emotions, goals, or motivations, "functional" or otherwise. They are statistical models that appear as a magic trick to people who aren't familiar with the math.

I assume it's just the mods, not voting rings. It's usually comments that run counter to the HN-approved ideology.

I've frequently encountered this same thing. Often the downvotes come a day later, but quickly.

When the sex cult is built around the idea that they and everyone else should fear and respect the false, anthropomorphized God they've created in LLMs, then yes. That makes them stupid and stupid people should not be allowed so close to the wheels of power and history.

Finder is terrible. Not sure why it's worth defending to the point of attacking someone who simpy made something which fills its gaps.

Humility? I don't think they know what the word means let alone possess the capacity to demonstrate it.

New comment by greekrich92 in "Silicon Valley is in denial in face of widespread backlash"

There is no equivalence. There is a mass of people who are concerned about "woke." The people who are emotionally invested in AI's success are a tiny minority who have no power to push a backlash.

Hmm wait a minute, unless that small minority is politically well connected with a lot of media access. Then they could manufacture a fake backlash. Much like the backlash to "woke!" Ok nevermind it is the same.

It was created by a popular Bitcoin person and crypto people are its primary user base. Tipping people with crypto is part of the protocol.

How does this impractical crypto nonsense keep making it to the front page?

The tendency to describe things that are so essentially characteristic of the capitalist imperial core as resembling the Soviet Union is always so funny

The subway should be free, and continuous fare hikes when you're already double paying with your eyes because of all the advertising they shove in front of you is more incentive to turnstile jump. Overpaid do-nothing senior adminstrators and lawmakers who are in the pocket of privatization are the problem, not that 17 year old.
