Unsurprising, then, that Peter Theil found common ground with Mordor & Sauron when reading LOTR.

Dead internet
It’s pretty pervasive and there’s plenty of tacit and overt support for Republicans here.

Either you buy into the rich as job creators (myth) or you see them as parasites extracting all spare capacity and wealth from society.

So much Symbolism everywhere these days.

Altman (Alternate Human) is ushering in AI. Amodei (Beloved of God, or Lover of God) is his opponent in this endeavour.

Japanese companies and institutions are recently under a wave of cyberattacks. LLM assisted or LLM driven attacks are already the new normal. Mostly off the back of abliterated Chinese LLMs, I'd argue.

Anthropic's 'proof of concept' is interesting but the frontier is evolving far ahead of what's apparent to even niche audiences such as HN.

I'd argue datacenters in Space implies datacenters outside of Space.

LLM written article, seems to be barely proofread by the peddler.

The fact that latent behaviour can be encoded into the model weights, and is difficult to discover through static analysis, is an absolute security nightmare.

The b̶a̶g̶h̶o̶l̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ investors will surely see through this manoeuvre!
Existence appears to be tautological.
Obvious reactionary faux pas on part of the moderation team, since it's exclusionary, easily gamed, and punishes & drives away honest people. Not the sharpest minds at work here.
If our society seems more nihilistic than that of previous eras, perhaps this is simply a sign of our maturity as a sentient species. As our collective consciousness expands beyond a crucial point, we are at last ready to accept life's fundamental truth: that life's only purpose is life itself.

It's on a spectrum, with many neurotypical people having traits of it. It can definitely be worsened or alleviated by environmental factors.

The current neurodevelopmental understanding sees the genetic component as latent tendency, with the environment as the trigger that can drive the manifestation of traits.

Content and Software saturation (already, pre LLM).

Almost like a calculated dismissal.
"100 like minded people"

HN logic is so entertaining.

Because capital is right wing and capital will act to preserve and concentrate power.
More people should be aware of the Buddhist precept of “right livelihood”.

I think you underestimate how saturated the market is for both content and software.
Our society is like a beastly machine that feeds on the souls of living beings (Human and animal) in order to keep functioning.

I studied Masters in Criminology and I have to say that Justice is absent from the Criminal 'Justice' system.

Re:EA is shutting down BioWare on Thursday October 22, 2026 @01:18AM (#50191473)
Well BioWare pioneered romance options with many characters, including same sex options and even threesomes etc. I suppose that doesn't align with Saudi sentiments.
Re:EA is shutting down BioWare on Thursday October 22, 2026 @01:14AM (#50191448)
I think it's more the economics of capitalism in general and private equity in particular. EA is more like PE now than a game publisher.
