SI? What the fuck is that?
Aren't devs on Steam required to disclose use of AI? If yes, then there is a way to filter crap.
Two years ago I moved to a smallish (think 3,5k people) town (in Europe, ie you get everywhere by foot) and it has done wonders to my mental health. All the daily social micro-interactions with people who are aware of you seem truly healing.
I am convinced that if a attack is to happen, it will be right after the midterms. The US will be paralyzed by invocation of the Insurrection Act (or similar coup-y acts) so, unable to react.

Observing some colleagues, more like "wheelchair for the mind"

There are many of us who do not live in the US, so many still can. Just not through paypal.

Nah, just pass the outputs to a person not related to Anthropic in any way.

Or -- maybe better -- just fsck the TOS.

Even if you think you cannot escape incentives - there exists a thing for shaping them - it is called "regulation". Some still consider it a dirty word though.

No need to hide "penis" behind asterisks. It is proper -- even medical -- terminology, in contast to "c*ck", "d*ng" or "schl*ng".
I am curious how the workflow of people, who do not write code at all, looks like, or what products do they build. In my experience LLMs are an excavator, but you still have to tweak the fine details with a shovel.
How about reviving key signing parties?

Given that according to some we can code at 10x speed for at least half a year, I wonder where there are some autocoded softwares with 5 years' worth of equivalent human engineering work.
By socializing the losses of course.
I think it is time to start shorting.

I'll root for DeepSeek v4 Flash as well. It surprised me just how "good enough" it is for most of my needs, and also dirt cheap. Everyone should try it at least once.
Which other profession has the same amount of training data freely available for the taking?
Given that we can code at 10x speed for at least half a year, one would expect to see at least some pieces of machine-created software with 5 years' worth of equivalent human engineering work.

Anyone know some?

YC indisputably has a financial incentive for AI sentiment to be positive on HN. The structural conflict of interest is worth being aware of.
Mind that the host of this site has an interest in keeping the hype going on ...
