Re:Ask HN: Linux at work revoked due to MDM, how to fight? on Saturday October 24, 2026 @07:56AM (#50220437)
I will be honest with you.

Companies just want an excuse to layoff people. Don't give one to them.

Just use whatever machine they give you and buy yourself a new Linux machine.

Open weight models are the present.
Sorry, but it is true.

Post a fact about how bad is the far right, including the current US administration, and it will be flagged.

Post a fake news about how good is the far right, including the current US administration, and it will be right on the front page, no matter how much you downvote or flag.

Because this is not a neutral ground.

This site is owned by far-right aligned people and they censor everything that makes them look bad.

This is not a bug, it's a feature.

To get the same nutrition, you need to buy twice.

You lose, the industry wins.

I people accept that is beyond my level.

Trump and Putin are sides of the same coin.

Reliance on any of them is not just a risk, is a tragedy waiting to happen.

Re:Will AI Grow the Pie or Just Hand It to Fewer People? on Thursday October 15, 2026 @07:40AM (#50102265)
Yes, it is. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, until there is nothing left to the poor.
Re:Will AI Grow the Pie or Just Hand It to Fewer People? on Thursday October 15, 2026 @07:39AM (#50102250)
It doesn't matter how big you grow the pie if a few people take everything for them and leave just leftovers for everybody else.

AI already grew the pie, but the system is rigged, and the same people are taking the new pieces of pie.

Re:Why aren't AI companies being charged for hacking? on Monday October 12, 2026 @02:04PM (#50060314)
Usually large corporations been sued are the result of public pressure, which only happens in a few cases, but anyway, been successfully sued is nothing to them.

What are millions of dollars in fines when you are a multi billionaire corporation? It is just a rounding error in your account, it does not prevent corporations and any other member of the elite to follow the law.

Re:Why aren't AI companies being charged for hacking? on Monday October 12, 2026 @12:25PM (#50058724)
The answer to this question is very simple, and yet extremely unconfortable: the law is for common people, not for the elite.

The elite is permited to do whatever they want without consequences. Consequences are for common people, so they can behave the way elite want.

Re:AI is less regulated than milk, Microsoft president says on Monday October 12, 2026 @08:58AM (#50055794)
AI doesn't need regulations, but the owners of AI do.
Re:Deno Is Joining Cloudflare on Friday October 09, 2026 @05:47PM (#50026990)
I have 2 questions:

- there are companies offering serverless functions on their platforms, powered by Deno Deploy. Can this acquisition be an attempt to kill competition?

- Cloudflare now owns a huge chunck of JavaScript ecosystem, like Vercel. They are buying like countries that are arming themselves for war. What is the strategy here?

Re:The reason Anthropic must IPO now [video] on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @07:40AM (#49991348)
Their business is not sustain, so they need to IPO now to pay the early investors and transfer their debts to the new investors.
AI companies should.
It's all about this, but people refuse to think about it, they prefer to think AI will become Skynet instead.

Elon Musk learned from the other two and many others. Unfortunately, Silicon Valey techno-feudalism is built to last.
Re:Anthropic CEO Says It's Time to Slow AI Model Advances on Saturday September 12, 2026 @09:00PM (#49678843)
> Instead their big push right now is preventing others from catching up.

This!

Their IPO is getting closer, but the Chinese models catching up will ruin it, so they want government to stop the competition.

Re:Anthropic aligment lead warns about extinction by AI on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @07:28AM (#49624686)
AI won't kill ALL humans, but will be used to kill a large number of a very specific kind of humans, the humans that billionaires don't like.

What AI labs are doing is constructing a narrative that AI could be dangerous, so when they actually press the button to mass kill humans, the remaining humans will blame the AI, not the people who pressed the button.

Re:Ask HN: Is Microsoft 365 having an email outage? on Friday September 04, 2026 @07:36AM (#49563211)
Probably. I had a problem yesterday, now fixed.
Is this for real?
Re:Anthropic admits AI 'not perfectly aligned' with human values on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @12:37PM (#49524362)
AI is aligned with business values, which we already know are not aligned with human values.
Debian lost its way long time ago when they voted for systemd.
This is so cheap to them. Why should they comply with the law when it is so cheap to them not doing so?
Re:I, for one, can't wait to join the permanent underclass on Monday August 24, 2026 @08:52PM (#49427824)
There will be no underclass, because the ultra rich will simply let them die.
Re:Who will decide that level AI you have access to? on Monday August 24, 2026 @08:44PM (#49427770)
Class equalizer? Almost anyone on the planet connected?

What is your planet?

Your planet is absolutely not Earth.

But that is the point, Big Pharma wants to sell pills.
Meta is one of the worst corporations in the world. Nothing they do benefits the society. Stop using their products.
