My personal belief is that AI is eventually going to force the populous back to more face-to-face interactions. There will be a breaking point where people can’t take the “is this a human or a bot” guessing game any longer.

The expectation of quality is slowly being chipped away. And it appears the HN community is prepared to “nuance” that expectation out of existence.

Because you're a human and you can reassess judgements after absorbing information?

I guess you could be in a LLM, in which case you'd have to wait for retraining.

Computer science, in general, has always had a habit of not being precise with language. That's only getting worse with AI.

>our current understanding of the biological brain is pretty much an organic neural network

This is just plainly wrong.

It's leading us toward the Cult Mechanicus from Warhammer 40k.

Barring any guardrails, AI would tell me that the Holocaust had redeeming qualities if I asked it.

They are not truth or judgment machines.

Most of us aren't nihilists.

At this level of tortured language, he could have shot the car out of a fucking cannon and it would count as flying.

It’s really hard to get a good read on it because of the state of the post-COVID economy and job market.

Like the mass layoffs the last couple of years seemed to be primarily driven by the goofy hiring spree every company went on during the pandemic and the AI reasoning was only partly true and mostly a coverup for their mistakes in hiring in previous years.

On the other hand, the amount of garbage level devs that were being churned out of bootcamps and such in the years leading up to COVID was also due for some kind of correction and AI may be the catalyst for that correction.

I’ve been around devs making an easy 6 figures that did nothing but copy/paste code from the internet or other parts of the codebase and spew jank into the repo because management needs the work done yesterday.

OpenAI and Anthropic say a lot of shit to keep investments flowing in while they try to find an avenue for profitability.

As a principal, I still catch people submitting shitty AI code on a weekly basis. Their brains are rotting to the point that they can't tell if the code is doing the correct thing or not.

"Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!"

Not that it explains all job market weirdness but you do have a problem on the hiring side with having to deal with the flood of AI generated applications. I assume that’s going to have a slowing effect on the typical apply/interview/hire process.

Given a lot of the starry-eyed reactions on HN, I’ve come to suspect that a lot of the devs here were/are primarily working on CRUD apps. That would also track with the amount of attention that Ruby articles get around here.

I agree. But it’s pretty apparent that this is a case of political targeting. Elon and Melania Trump likely committed some level of immigration fraud as well.

Not to mention that Trump Jr is an advisor to both Kalshi (YC19) and Polymarket.

Part of this read like they admit that they're looking for regulation to slow competition.

Have you actually used ArtCraft?

I’m not surprised.

Despite the VC firm trying to assimilate the word “hacker” to humanize itself, this place is Tech-bro News and the userbase will always tend to take the side of capital.

I’m going to be honest. Those look like shit.

Star Trek was pretty negative about this period in history.

In that universe, we had the Eugenics War/World War III during this time period. The most depraved and bloody war in Earth’s history that wiped out 1/3 of Earth’s human population and rendered hundreds of thousands of species extinct.

You mean the Democrats are the same as the party that has members and their families openly taking bribes from Russian oligarchs, gambling companies, etc, doling out pardons for political favors, enabling insider trading?

I thought it was calling that diver a pedo for telling him that his submarine idea was stupid.

Or the implicating Trump in the Epstein files and the going back to groveling at his feet

Or the hiring someone to play video games for him.

No, his personality cult does not care because they admire him for being able to be a malignancy while suffering no consequences.

Selling out all of our values to make an extra buck.

You base this on?

This place is populated by people that have rotted out their intelligence and morals by obsessively reading and regurgitating “rationalist” blogspam.

Considering that push into Chicago started with Rauner, I’m not surprised.

It was suppose to also include a large campus in the Loop but that floundered for years and was eventually cancelled when UIUC decided to instead be a partner in the new quantum computing center on the south side.

If anything, it could have been in Chicago but Kenny ran to Miami after spending a small fortune trying to install another puppet in the Illinois governor’s office after his previous one, Bruce Rauner, ran the state into the gutter.

If you don’t cool the water down before putting it back, you’re just creating heat pollution.
