Your child is still far from forming any concrete understanding of the world.

Play is far more important than conforming to definitions of mimetype for things that are all the same or following someone's arbitary rules for where to put collections of names that mean nothing.

Try NoBSB: Go for walks in the forest or outside, play games, have conversations.

Google is on almost every mobile device that's not Apple.

This antitrust is the thing keeping Google going.

Cloud involves losing sovereignty of data. And rabbits.

And Netscape in 1995 look good in comparison to.. Pine?

Do you feel your comment adds any value to the discussion?

Re:Ask HN: How much of OpenAI code is written by AI? on Monday July 14, 2025 @06:17AM (#44558309)
That's not a better question but a different one.

Your reply is pseudo-intellectual Slashdot-style Frist Posting, to which I venture:

Can AI FirstPost on HN better than humans? If so, why do they seem to lack the curiosity and gumption to make their own 'Ask HN'? Is there a matching preference to snipe internet points with replies?

Do they also use real names or pseudo real names believing such action will not boost their LinkedIn profile? Have they A/B tested the optimal level of passive aggression in HN replies vis avoidance behaviour of potential future relationships?
