<p>> Why is everybody all the time in favour of AI on HN?<p>It is useful?, it works most of the time?<p>> This is objectively a good change because it will improve the quality of the code in the long term.<p>It depends?, sure, banning hit-and-run massive AI generated PRs will help.<p>These were problems before AI too, people just want to get their name on things without putting in effort.<p>This also bans possibly high quality PRs that fix things or add something new.<p>Either way, we'll see, anyone can still fork and if it's a better project then that will win over</p>

<p>>  Although, if they do succeed in regulating themselves, won't that do more damage to their aggressive funding requirements? It will guarantee the delay (and possible banning) of the promised AGI that justifies the valuations.<p>If their statement is to be believed and they truly slow down, that means they are afraid of something. Otherwise some of them would just betray the rest.<p>If that is the case, then... why? what are they afraid of?<p>I would wager that failure, having their companies go bankrupt might be it.<p>How that would happen, I have no clue... I would assume interest rates raised because we're out of options dealing with inflation would hit their ability to raise money and once that happens they're in trouble...</p>

<p>Good.  Apple would be forced to give competitors the same access they give Siri.<p>Aparently that means: "give any AI system nearly unlimited access to a user’s device, as well as the ability to act on that access autonomously without a user’s ongoing visibility and control. That includes the ability to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and execute actions across any app. Security researchers have already shown that AI systems can be hijacked to steal personal data — like passwords and photos — and to permanently alter files and account settings without a user’s consent. "<p>So... Siri can already do all that... how come Apple isn't concerned about that?<p>Perhaps a better approach is to allow users to control what AI agents can do including Siri and give all the same access through the same controls.</p>
