Rover222··on 25 years of mass surveillance is enough
Oh sorry to disturb the hivemind
Rover222··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
might be time to read it
Rover222··on OpenAI buys smartphone camera maker Glass Imaging for $300M
"running Android in some form"

I think it's more likely it would be a radical departure from existing mobile OS.

More like an entirely generative experience. No discrete apps. The phone screen just morphs into whatever purpose you need at the time.

Rover222··on 25 years of mass surveillance is enough
I find it ironic that in the US, there's this social movement against Flock cameras - which have shown real results in tracking down criminals - while everyone walks around all the time with a personal tracking device in the form of a smart phone. That's wayyyy more invasive than cameras along roads.
Rover222··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
pre-coffee and I kept reading that as "sabotage causes major Neanderthal rail disruption"

I was like hmmmm what timeline am I in now?

Rover222··on Dario, Please
What damage was done by the last arms race you mentioned?

There have been precisely 0 nuclear weapons detonated (outside of testing) since that arms race began.

Rover222··on AI is not a normal technology
this will of course happen in a few years...
Rover222··on AI is not a normal technology
what a dumb thing to keep repeating at this point
Rover222··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
but to suggest the country was 'generally at war' in that stretch of time is ridiculous
Rover222··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
Do please tell me what years we were at war between Vietnam and Desert Storm...
Rover222··on Measuring the sloppiness of code
I'm not shocked the top 2 comments are "coding is not solved"

Pure cope, at least in most domains. The machines can do it better than the humans.

I think most arguments against that are clinging onto old things that don't really matter any more, like coding style.

If most of us are not coding by hand at all anymore, just directing and iterating with the agents, then coding is solved by a reasonable definition.

Yeah Sam Altman doesn't inspire trust. Dario and Musk are a bit better in this regard. I think they both say what they really think. Altman... no way.
Rover222··on AI 2027 (2025)
sounds about right

Of course it's a spectrum that all advanced countries exist on, but if you think China and the US are on the same end of the spectrum, that's strange.
Rover222··on AI 2027 (2025)
So you've never tried FSD.
Rover222··on AI 2027 (2025)
Biased how? China has a long history of corporate espionage.

Everyone knows the Chinese are capable of whatever they put their minds to. But stealing IP to skip some steps is part of the system.

Rover222··on ChatGPT Images 2.5
The site will be 90% empty with that filter. At least on tech topics.
Rover222··on Growing proof that autonomous cars save lives
This is real and good news. Autonomous driving systems have gotten very good and safe (well, Waymo and Tesla FSD).

Taking vehicle out of the hands of humans WILL save hundreds of thousands of lives around the world.

Yet most comments here want to complain that we should be building public transit instead. Glass is always half full on this topic for some reason.

Rover222··on Growing proof that autonomous cars save lives
Cybercab is more efficient per rider mile than most public transit systems.
Rover222··on ChatGPT Images 2.5
Yeah seriously, the cultural mindset is so damn kneejerk negative to everything right now. It's pathetic. This is an exciting time, and lots of good things are happening.
Rover222··on ChatGPT Images 2.5
Typical HN luddite mindset at this point. This is an exciting time!
Rover222··on GPT-6 Astra
Overall I have to say it feels like a very incredible comeback from OpenAI, after focusing on Sora and stuff like that and losing so much ground to Anthropic in enterprise revenue.

I hop models at will, and have done 90% of my work on OpenAI models since sol came out.

Rover222··on GPT-6 Astra
I'd say 5 to 10 years instead of 10 to 20, but... we'll see
Rover222··on GPT-6 Astra
No, I really don't
Rover222··on Grok outage
What is this opinion even based on? Grok 4.6 is the best model in terms of intelligence per token. And 4.6 heavy is almost on par with the SOTA models.

4.7 in two weeks might be the new SOTA.

Rover222··on Grok outage
Maybe some of those Astra agents from the hugging face hack actually setup their own hidden clusters. Now they attack.
Rover222··on Elevated Errors for Multiple Models
Grok is also down. Codex is also down. Is this the full meltdown?
Rover222··on Dutch central bank moves share of gold from U.S., Canada to London
What do you even mean by 'removing' Elon from 'the system'?
Rover222··on Dutch central bank moves share of gold from U.S., Canada to London
They're still hoping to get back New York City some day.
Rover222··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
very ironic if you think you can trust open ai over xai with you data.

if you don't trust any, then at least that's a coherent position
