Would be curious to see how it looks from different angles etc. as the light changes.

His whole argument against AI is basically the anti-tech stance: "Well crypto failed that means AI will too" It's coming from a place of disdain for technology. That's your typical Hacker News commenter. This site is like Fox News in 2008 - some of the dumbest people alive

I'll take millions of years instead of 75 thanks

> looking to bring meaning to the time that they have

Everybody says something like this in response to this kind of question about death/aging - or they go all religious on me talking about Jesus etc.

I'm like "what is 2 + 2" and half or more of the people go "I like cake"

We're all dying fast. Medical industry can't stop it either, they don't know how. Nobody does.

Yet nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care.

> Character.AI co-founder Daniel De Freitas is also joining Google with some other employees from the startup. Dominic Perella, Character.AI’s General Counsel, is becoming an interim CEO at the startup.

This story that I shared completes the picture: Character.AI was effectively acquired by Google for $2.7B. Nobody needs to know though you're right, just hide this article and delete any critical replies.

You're confused at best.

If you can't see how this tech is useful Idk what to tell you, you have no imagination AND aren't looking around you at the products, marketing, etc. that already exists. These takes remind me of the luddites of ~2012 who were still doubting the Internet in general.

The haters on this thread including you are not "well-intentioned" so I guess you have a point. Nobody makes you act this way though. It's largely regional/age-based too. There are many millions of people who don't act like the typical Reddit/HN armchair expert and aren't drawing swastikas in YouTube live chats. And there are easy ways of filtering out genuine spam.

HN/Reddit "spam filters" goes far beyond filtering spam to restrict any opinion they don't like. An approach I think is far worse for the internet than whatever you're referring to.

"output a 90 minute harry potter sequel to the final film starring the original actors plus Tom Hanks"

Ignore these insufferable know-it-all haters on Hacker News. These people are the worst! Some aren't even real people.

The ones that are bots are probably HN itself because https://greenwich-for-chrome.replit.app/ is a threat. This is the coolest part IMO, has Twitter or HN like potential.

When/if Altman ever gets out of the way like Travis K did with Uber then the real business people can come in and run the company correctly. Exactly like what happened with Uber - who never turned a profit under that leadership in the US and had their lunch eaten by a Chinese knock-off for years abroad. Can't have spoiled brats in charge, they have no experience and are wasteful and impulsive. Especially like Altman who has no engineering talent either. What is his purpose in OpenAI? He can't do anything.

Nothing over the top just "I took a look at your site and loved X" "Nice portfolio!" "You have a good eye for design"

But I never got any comments on anything super creative and flashy. When I was exclusively looking for work in games my site was a game, but nobody cared. To game people it wasn't AAA and to tech people it wasn't Apple.

Seems like simple and easy is best.

When I have hired designers or FE devs I don't even interview them if they don't have a personal site.

The blue we all thought it was came from its atmosphere as seen from far away, not because it was an icy world reflecting blue light through ice and snow - the ice and snow on its planetary surface is a lot more red and brown like Titan because it's methane (like on Titan, and presumably by the color of Europa, on Europa too).

I know we have high fidelity photos of [a reddish brown] Europa, but when I was younger seeing those documentaries of the "oceans under the surface" they were always depicted as blue with alien-looking dolphins swimming through them. To this day they claim it's composed of "water ice", despite being that color in the newer high definition photos.

Another commenter here said "it's an awful odd color for ice" - it's probably methane, like Pluto and Titan, not water ice. Maybe I'm overly skeptical, but just connecting dots.

I think you aren't aware of how the real world works, and have a textbook understanding. But not even that because you don't realize you can end up with basically nothing at the end holding only common stock that is given to W-2 employees.

> your fantasy of founding a company

You misread? Maybe intentionally. The company exists and has more customers than 99% of these YC startups. How many businesses are you operating?

> preferred shares don't mean anything if you don't have investors

Obviously, that's the context we're talking about. Bringing on investors. You think common stock is no different than preferred stock which is your main error.

If Jack Dorsey being involved from the beginning isn't enough proof it's the same company as Twitter, the first line of this press release covers one of Twitter's latest PR stunts: "The Brazil Ban". Two things:

1. Twitter is intentionally being wound down because a platform that free (see: Arab Spring) cannot exist - it's seen only as a threat to the military-media complex. Know your politics - only those who were active in startups in ~2010-14 know this (Gaddafi, Aaron Swartz, Ross Ulbricht). Things have changed since then guys - tech lost. Elon Musk is an actor/figurehead, and every decision made at Twitter is intentional to kill the platform while scraping as many dollars out of it as they can (even at its peak as a free speech platform it was rarely profitable as a company). I don't believe Bluesky is getting a ton of traffic from Twitter as they hoped it would because Bluesky looks like a 3rd party Twitter app (junky af) and has the same employees and none of the free speech or interesting celebrities/influencers Twitter had at its peak. With press releases like this one mentioning the "Brazil Ban" it just seems like Bluesky is merely a vassal - another aspect of the winding down of Twitter. I consider Bluesky founders to be scam artists and liars.

2. Bluesky is a hoax of a decentralized service in the way that Ethereum is a hoax chain. It's not really decentralized - they have total control over the information flow and always have.

To me this news is just like Ethereum's "The Merge" which also promised lower bandwidth, energy usage - computing. But it did this by cutting out most of the public contributors to the ledger and allowing only a few to contribute - thereby centralizing it and defeating the entire purpose to begin with.

Bluesky is a hoax, can't believe anyone falls for this junk. Their app looks terrible too. Innovate, make something people want.

I would only use Product Hunt if you're targeting Silicon Valley audiences. In general even with physical ads consider the network/reach/visibility and who the audience is.

I won't tell them :) :D >:D :|

Morning live stream of trying products would be awesome
