Ah I see. Thanks for clarification.

We should not forget that different people have different talents. That creative superstar guy may have been great at coming up with new stuff but terrible at maintaining stuff. Or at debugging some urgent prod issue under time stress on a saturday evening. You need those people too that enjoy the day-to-day maintenance to keep the house clean, or the occasional firefighting. A good team contains all those types and they complement each other.

Pollutants of your ICE are hurting others, while the taste of meat is solely on the consumer themselves.

That's why you are being downvoted.

You are calling Meloni's government "left-wing"? Italy has not had a government so far right since WW2.

> like forcing us to eat worms instead of pasta

Nobody is "forcing" you to anything. That's misrepresenting reality to a degree that's not even funny had you used /s tags.

Sorry, but proof of stake makes the concept even more nonsensical than it was before.

Of course I disapprove of old school banking scams as well. Beyond that, I won't engage in your whataboutism. It's not making the crypto pyramid schemes any better.

> In all fairness I wish HN was a bit more friendly to crypto

Yeah let's all be more friendly to burning down the planet in order to enable scams.

Then you are halfway to realizing how extreme the claim is that all journalists actively push a particular point of view, i.e., are engaging in propaganda.

Bias sure. But that does not imply propaganda which is a much stronger accusation.

There obviously is propaganda here and there, but not every person having a bias is engaging in propaganda.

We all do our jobs for money. That is, for a profit.

Are you claiming that none of us has integrity in our professional work?

Articles are not written by institutions. They are written by individuals. Just like the code I write every day. For money.

> Then one time 20 years ago they make the wrong call vis a vis Iraq weapons of mass destruction, and they've almost completely destroyed their integrity.

If you think about the Iraq war whenever your read a piece by a journalist in the NYT, even if that journalist wasn't even out of their diapers at that time, then you may need to re-adjust your grudges.

In other words, don't write state, only consume it. (Time is also state.)

> does it matter if it's really thinking or not?

Yes, it does. Assuming GPT "thinks" is shaping public perception and that's already gone much too far.

> All journalism is propaganda

Such a derogatory statement detached from reality. It's like saying all health professionals are out there to get your money by keeping you as sick as possible. Or all teachers are out to indoctrinate your kids. Or all firefighters are arsenists.

I have quite a few journalists as friends or acquaintances, and many of them are the most honest people I know, with strong ethics and admireable ideals.

Of course there are bad apples out there. In any profession. But your statement is just ridiculous.

> Asking the model to think about

These models do not "think". This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how they work. It's not AI. It's not even language. It's just text inference.

> And what would you propose?

Laws and enforcing them.

Yeah it was clear that he'd not pass on an opportunity to praise himself.
