I mean, if you're just going to come in and say that the person is lying (or, charitably, deluded), there's really no point in having a conversation.

For whatever reason, I've found that people who use AI to code tend to be quite defensive about it.

You haven't run into cases where the documentation is missing or incomplete? You must be dealing with different libraries than I am.
Pre-Musk twitter isn't the comparison point here. Anthropic/Google are.

Slippery slope is famously a fallacious argument. My first exposure to it was people insisting that legalizing gay marriage would end up legalizing marriage to animals.

Seems like it's only when adding 1 + 4, 6, or 8 in a place value or where one of them is 0. It doesn't seem like it'd ever hold across a carry, but I could be missing something.
Edit: There's actually a few cases with adding 2 as well!

It seems like this post got killed as well, but it's the first I'm hearing of the functionality. I wouldn't say I'm a frequent user of the site, but I think I would have noticed if people were posting this link often.

People on Hacker News with a high enough score get a "super downvote" that can downrank a story, with enough removing it off the page entirely (flagged). It's why you won't see stories critical of Elon Musk or the current administration last for longer than an hour.

Do you really think many people are being charged and found guilty of felony assault for throwing a sandwich at a random person? He was only charged because the guy was part of a cop-like class.
