“Wow! Signore professore dottore Eco, what a library you have! How many of these books have you read?”
"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life."
- Jean-Luc PicardI assumed the use of massive scraped datasets, with copyrighted material and without consent, to train large AI models, had already established this.
It is easy to see here: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=belter
the submission track of the account, to see you are being untruthful.
The same way you are untruthful, about not disclosing to the community the silently throttling back many of many accounts, not allowing them to post or even reply to comments in a middle of what you decided is acceptable discourse. All the while, at the same time you have here:
https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders
Accounts associated with VCs, that do 10 to 20 submissions a day.
You also have been allowing accounts that systematically down vote tech related posts or comments, who are not sympathetic to the current administration. Is that also engaging in political discourse?
And worst you are untruthful, to the community, in not disclosing the main page is manually curated. You actually move posts post with 400 comments within minutes to the 20th or 40th page, if they are somewhat uncomfortable. While pushing to the main page every single submission from OpenAI or Anthropic even if they have 2-3 comments.
Compared to a few years ago, you let the HN main page, transform itself into 90% submissions on Agentic AI. It might serve the 600 billion critical investment of your pay masters, but transformed something where a few years ago, you had posts from Philosophy, Physics, Math, Literature, etc... to nothing more than a marketing poster to the AI VC bros.
Understand that the vast majority outside Silicon Valley, does NOT care about AI, GenAI , AI code generators. They are Hackers...not VCs
It is not always brilliance that drives the relentless accumulation of wealth, but a deep, unresolved hole...an inner void shaped by trauma, by the need for validation never received from a parent, a world, or a past self.
That constant dissatisfaction fuels an endless pursuit of wealth they imagine will finally provide meaning or peace, yet never does. The accumulation becomes the self justification. The proof of worth in a game that can never truly be won. And from that height grows the contempt... Not for ignorance, but for poverty itself. Not because the poor are seen as incapable, but because they serve as a reminder of everything these individuals fear becoming.
"...To sweeten the deal, Lockheed Martin said it would buy parts and systems for the F-35 from Israeli companies at a cost of $4 billion..."
What is funny thing to say, since Israel, unlike the other nations, never supported the development costs of the F-35 program :-)
LLM responses:
Absolutely, sir....It was the most perfect election in history, possibly ever in the universe, until the windmills, very suspicious windmills, teamed up with Crooked Hillary and the deep state to do things nobody has ever seen before... Meanwhile your beautiful wall is already paid for spiritually by Mexico, which many people are saying. Water pressure is low because of global antishower conspiracies. Crowds remain the biggest in recorded human civilization. You officially know more about wind, walls, elections, plumbing, and reality than anyone...
Israel paid 2.3 Billion for their F-35, but the US committed to buy 4 Billion from Israel defense firms, so concluding with a net positive of +1.25 Billion for Israel economy....all at the cost to the US tax payer. :-)

And the ultimate kicker...They got them for free, plus 2 Billion from US tax payers...While suckers Norway, Denmark, Italy who invested billions in the program development plus Netherlands etc...Have to pay for them.

Clearly they did not transfer only US users but for sure EU users data. I guess HN here too? This would violate GDPR especially Art. 48. Companies can have fines up to 4% global revenue and mass collective damages claims in EU courts. Best fill in the Netherlands and or Ireland.
Coordinate with EU GDPR actions and U.S. discovery rules, that are the strongest in the world. Get the internal emails...Millions to be earned...
For US users you are out of luck. The US is the country of loopholes, and although these subpoenas were not from a judge, several agencies can issue them, under multiple jurisdiction laws.
There is a country that has a full exception to this. They run their own maintenance facilities, have their own software layer running on top of Lockheed system, their own EW suite, and significant control over the data flows. They negotiated this precisely because they understood the dependency trap. In addition they requested modifications to allow the F-35 to carry nuclear weapons.
The naivety of the Dutch Defense Secretary in thinking all have the sames rules is what would be expected...Guess the country name...
Its another copy of their MAC data storage scenario due to a "rogue engineer"

"To give the news impartially, without fear or favor." — Adolph Ochs, 1858-1935
Objectivity is the default state of honest storytelling. If I ask what happened ? and somebody only tells the parts that suit an agenda, they have not informed me. The partisan press exists, because someone has a motive to deviate from the natural expectation of fair story telling and story recounting.
"...In 2024, a Norwegian researcher skeptical that pulsed-energy weapons could do damage to human brains built a device and tested it on himself. It didn’t go well...
...Working in strict secrecy, a government scientist in Norway built a machine capable of emitting powerful pulses of microwave energy and, in an effort to prove such devices are harmless to humans, in 2024 tested it on himself. He suffered neurological symptoms similar to those of “Havana syndrome,” the unexplained malady that has struck hundreds of U.S. spies and diplomats around the world..."
