<p>Ok, so you download the repo, launch Cursor, it compiles code and run it (if not, why do you even use Cursor at the first place?). Same effect.</p>

<p>I find PG's article so dismissive.<p>I know several people that have difficulty writing but are still f*cking smart. So what, they should refrain from using AI to help them because the AI police says so?<p>But yeah, let's continue classifying people based on their outer qualities and habits... History showed us were this leads us to.<p>And here an em dash -- to freak out the AI police.</p>

<p>I find the proposal ridicule.<p>Would you skip articles because it's written with a text processor?
You need to have it written bit by bit by fusing it directly in memory?<p>AI / LLM is the new word editor. Get over it.<p>What I find really annoying is all the comments that pretend to see / detect AI slop... with lot of false positives.</p>

<p>The harness is the tool you use to communicate with the model.<p>It can be as basic as a simple conversation tool (like ChatGPT back in the day), or more advanced like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, etc.<p>Advanced harnesses will give precise instructions to the model to tell him what tooling / skills / MCPs / etc are available, and will orchestrate all the actions around the model (like starting subagents, calling external tools, etc).</p>

<p>Sure, but the problem then is not systemd machineid, but rather the browser reading it and making it available for such identification (don't know if there is a browser out there doing that though).<p>Unless anonymization is provided by your browser, there is nothing you can do to prevent such identification technology run by these advertisers to build your profile, and send you targeted ads.</p>

<p>Whatever you do there will <i>always</i> be uniquely identifiable information (if not an id, a fingerprint) on your machine.<p>If you want to escape that, you have to use dedicated privacy-enhancing tools / browsers, but even then, it's very likely that you can still be identified by motivated adversaries.<p>It doesn't mean you have to give up, but, if such id is necessary for technical reasons in systemd (I guess it is), I wouldn't worry too much.</p>

<p>It's not that simple.<p>Rules do not necessarily reduce freedom, they can in fact even provide more freedom on the longer term, when the system finds a new balance.<p>The difficulty of course is to find the proper rules and evaluate these effects from current system state.</p>

<p>Why would seeing sexual imagery make you less rational? That doesn't make sense.<p>The study you mention say the people were already in an arousal state (that they had to induce themselves). It's very different from seeing images that you may simply ignore, evaluate differently, etc.<p>Also, there is the bias that if people are looking for such images (because they really want them), they are probably more willing to drop recommended practices, and hence make irrational moves. So irrationality doesn't come from seeing the images at the first place, but from their willingness to find / see such images.</p>
