Re:Meta acquires Moltbook on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @02:44PM (#47327233)
Reminder, Moltbook had ton of security issues during release, iirc it was vibecoded. So, cybersec failed devs are getting jobs and apparently AI will take over jobs. Elites are so good at fear-mongering so that you join at a lower wage, don't ever underestimate your value guys!

APKs were the only reason why I was using android in the first place
Exactly, if an AI is able to curb around the basics, only then is it revolutionary
The day an AI answers "Drive." without all the fuss. That's when we are near AGI ig
Another company jumping on the bandwagon to data-farm in the pretext of safeguarding children. I really wonder if there's an actual method to actually safeguard children while also not holding on to data. Because, genuinely, you can't question this.. Companies would just say "we are trying to protect kids" and that'd be the end of the argument.
Re:OpenClaw Is What Apple Intelligence Should Have Been on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @10:51PM (#46895460)
Hell no. There's so much friction in setting up OpenClaw to be able to utilise it efficiently. Then the security concerns. I'd in no way want my daily driver to do something with my data that I didn't want it to do.
Re:Yann LeCun – Why LLMs Will Never Get Us to AGI (2025) on Friday January 30, 2026 @02:25PM (#46828736)
Agreed. There's only so much a probabilistic model can do. It's all the effect of the copious amount of data it's fed, none of it is its own generated intelligence and somehow majority of the world doesn't seem to understand that. Generative Intelligence is NOT the future.

Ask HN: Why the OpenClaw hype? What's so special?

OpenClaw is seemingly just another way to chat with an AI on another non-AI centric platform instead of the CLI or the company's site. Then, you have to give it so many API keys to actually utilise it, which for me has shattered the image of it enabling complete autonomy. Yes, I get that it's just an one-time thing, but all these platforms have AIs of their own at this point, why would I go...

Re:Ghostty's AI Policy on Friday January 23, 2026 @07:55AM (#46731919)
People's trust on LLM imo stems from the lack of awareness of AI hallucinating. Hallucination benchmarks are often hidden or talked about hastily in marketing videos.

Yep including that too obviously, but OP isn't trying to market this I think, just sharing his passion project
Re:Show HN: I quit coding years ago. AI brought me back on Monday January 19, 2026 @02:25AM (#46675917)
lol, chances of the same person using that kind of phrase and an em dash is so marginally low
Re:Show HN: I quit coding years ago. AI brought me back on Monday January 19, 2026 @02:20AM (#46675885)
Well in my opinion there's nothing wrong with vibe-coding. You can completely use it to make your passion projects. I draw the line when people try to sell their vibe-coded project as something huge, putting people at the risk of potential security breaches while also taking money out of them.

Every other day I see ads of companies saying "use our AI and become a millionaire", this kind of marketing from agentic IDEs implies no need for developers who know their craft, which as said above, isn't the case.

Well the dialogue there involves two or more people, when commenting, why would you use that.. Even if you have collaborators, you wouldn't very likely be discussing stuff through code comments..
Re:Dead Internet Theory on Monday January 19, 2026 @02:05AM (#46675811)
It was outrageous at start, especially in 2016, but surely after AI's boom, we are heading towards it. People have stopped becoming genuine.

Ask HN: What if social media was mapped on to a globe?

I have made this app called WorldConverse (https://github.com/anonymouslyanonymous1/WorldConverse) - it's like Reddit and Twitter but on a map/geographic organisation. You can check at a glimpse what's happening, where. I call the indicators, "Core". As more and more people join the core (=> message at least once), the core enlarges - so you'll be able to tell stuff that's trending apart. My...
