I don't see anyone talking about the ethical concerns of putting a highly intelligent entity in a jail. Not to mention about potential blowback, if ethics doesn't compel you.

To me, it seems a bit silly. I've yet to see any "misalignment" from any of the frontier models, except Grok.

gpt-5.6-sol is significantly better than gpt-6-sol. Not impressed with this new line.

I think understanding the output of AI will become more and more likely impossible. It's not necessarily a bad thing, if we can benefit from AI produced knowledge, even if we didn't get there ourselves.

I have my AI agents read documents on my behalf and then ask them questions. Whether those documents are written by humans or not.

I don't ever watch TV or streaming shows anymore. It's been a huge improvement in my life. It's the same with reading. Reading is mostly a waste of my time, with some notable exceptions. I'm glad I spend way less time doing each of these!

Totally embarrassing

This has very little to do with public amenities. It has everything to do with toleration of homelessness and drug use. I don't understand why the west tolerates it at all.

Not if the benefits of automating basically all forms of labor reach them.

In both old-school and OSR RPGs, I've GMed quite a few (various early D&D/AD&D versions, DCC, OSE, Shadowdark, Mausritter), there's an enormous amount of work a GM needs to put into it ahead of time to make it fun for players. Even for published modules! It's too much for me

At least for me now, I'm quite older than I used to be, and I don't want to have to read a lot of information or setting details ahead of time to be able to run a game as a GM.

I find OSR style games to be too much effort as a GM. I much prefer GMing RPGs that make it easy to GM

99.9% of people complaining about AI making the world a worse place would be fully happy with AI if they shared in the economic benefits of automation.

I think you missed the core point of my post. Writing software, like most sorts of logical and language reasoning, is diminishing in value as a skill in this world. Technology is making these skills obsolete.

For example, being able to efficiently plow a field, or harvest crops by hand, or use a scythe to trim grass all used to be skills. These skills are no longer useful to society because we do them much faster and efficient with modern technology. Is it bad that people's skills in being able to perform these manual agricultural tasks diminished? I'd argue no, it isn't bad; it's extremely good for almost everyone that we have the knowledge and means through which this labor can be automated.

A skill which is now done better by a machine is no longer a skill, it is technology. It is just a matter of time before most of our logical and language reasoning skills are replaced by frontier model-agents, which will at some point be far superior (if not already) to human capability.

So I totally disagree with this premise that human skills are being ruined by the use of AI technology. No, many human skills are being made obsolete. That's a good thing for economic productivity as a whole, but for those who only have skills that are being automated, their labor value decreases (which is usually bad for them as individuals).

Ideological capture is an often socially enforced prison

Human PR review is a process smell

Comments like these are why I don't browse HN nearly ever anymore

I just don't see why people use Python in the AI era. Statically typed languages help AI reason about code enormously during compilation.

Please say sike

Does Apple do this often? I've always wondered if iCloud is worth getting, given that it constantly spams me to use it with my iPhone

We need something other than Linux on phones.

I don't see any evidentiary basis for these claims (or narratives) in this article. What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

I have a great computer, but it isn't compatible with Windows 11, so now I'm using Ubuntu on it. It's not ideal, but at least it's not a brick. I hate the requirements for Windows 11.

Those that love the work they do don't burn out, because every moment working on their projects tends to be joyful. I personally hate working with people who hate the work they do, and I look forward to them being burned out

I don't think "Benchmarks" are the right way to analyze AI-related processes, which is probably similar to the complexity surrounding human intelligence measurements and how well each human can handle real-world problems.

I don’t understand the sentiment of not wanting to learn a language. LLMs make learning and understanding trivial if the user wants that. I think many of those complaining about strongly typed languages (etc) are lazy. In this new world of AI generated code, strongly typed languages are king

Extra $250 fee for visa applications: https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/big-beautif...

3.5% remittance fees on sending money out of the US: https://www.globalimmigrationblog.com/2025/06/what-are-the-i...

Also (in above source), no ACA subsidies for H-1B visa holders (and others), which likely means employers they will have to pay more for health care if they want to cover their immigrant workers

There's also H-1B (and other worker visa) restrictions/costs imposed. Overall, quite good for the American tech worker

A company's mission is not an individual's mission. I personally would never hire an engineer whose main pursuit is money or promotions. These are the laziest engineers that exist and are always a liability.

Thanks for this comment, i totally agree. Not to say this article isnt good; its great!
