> superhuman persuasion and means of manipulating human urges such that, if it wanted to, it could entrap anyone it wanted to complete subservience

Wow this potential/theoretical danger sounds a lot like the already existent attention economy; we're already manipulated at scale by "superhuman" algorithms designed to hijack our "human urges," create "cult-like" echo chambers, and sell us things 24/7. That future is already here

Though there might be nothing beneficial about being right or getting upvotes, and it is easy to be wrong, an important thing on a forum like this is the spread of new ideas. While someone might be hesitant to share something because it's half-baked, they might have the start to an idea that could have some discussion value.

Ask HN: How many people actually use Vim?

lucas_v — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 21:14:16 +0000

Vim is often said to be the "best" text editor for speed and usability, but is this actually a viable solution? I suspect that there is a silent majority that uses VSCode or some other easier-to-use GUI product.
