$900 for digital art isn't exactly cheap, but you sure as hell don't need to be pull a $750K salary to afford it.

> We're humans and we love stories.

Not when I'm busy and trying to clear my backlog of tech newsletters to find needles of wisdom in a haystack of meandering fluff. I'd rather have every article start with an executive summary. I'll save the stories for leisure.

> Surely that has to be thrown out in court?

The prosecutors likely know this and expect it. But there's enough gray area here for them to make the argument, and it's hard to prove malicious prosecution, so they know they'll get away with it. It's just about sending a message to the public - they don't care whether a conviction sticks. Just politics.

Trying to make us feel old? Very common term among people around my age and higher (40+). Please don't turn "I've never heard that expression before" into "must be AI saying it".

Sounds like you need to read more.

Just curious: What do you specifically like about oh-my-pi vs. OpenCode?

Is the information actually wrong, misleading, or otherwise deficient?

Are humans who use em dashes that intimidating to you?

Some of us are perfectly happy to learn in silence and solitude, and we thoroughly excel at doing so. Sorry that you don't. The broad sweeping "we humans" language gets a groan out of me. It's the sort of mentality that leads to unproductive gatherings in the working world where people want to force "learning through collisions/synergy".

What an absolutely obnoxious way to respond to someone who was willing to share his experience about a subject as personal and painful as losing his father to cancer.

OpenCode works nicely for me. You can connect it to the DeepSeek platform with an API key.

> There was a post today or yesterday where Paul Graham and Nate Silver accused the AP of being woke for saying you shouldn’t anthropomorphize LLMs.

I searched, but couldn't find this. Do you have a link? Sounds like a totally unhinged response from totally unhinged people. There's nothing "woke" about wanting my word calculator to avoid pretending it's a person.

When I integrate LLMs into my apps that respond to user queries, I deliberately have my system instructions prohibit all self-referential usage of first-person pronouns. The system can only refer to itself as "this system", never "I" or "me".

Any chat bot that pretends to be a person just grosses me out, especially in a customer experience context. Gives off very manipulative and patronizing vibes.

No, we did not want it to offer weirdly irrelevant fake sympathy. We just wanted to talk in plain English and get relevant answers back in plain English, without us having to reel it it from going down some emotionally schizophrenic rabbit hole (like in TFA).

Yes, that was very jarring. I didn't bother reading the intro text that said the other fish are other people on the site, so I just thought this was janky crap. The creator shouldn't assume people read anything. I see a button that says "Enter", I click - I'm not reading anything else. So it's going to cause a lot of confusion when I arrive in a pond filled with way too many fish for a zen-like experience, and even more annoyance at the constant flickering in and out.

> Why are these framed as being almost mutually exclusive?

Because the author wanted to write another "thought leadership" article with a clickbait headline that would make it to the HN frontpage (and maybe even featured in the TLDR Newsletter). It worked.

People take photos with their cell phones instead of painting a scene like Rembrandt. They don't think they are a genius, and nobody cheers and claps. The photos look fine, they get the job done, and everyone moves on with their lives without projecting insecurities online.

> But still, they were nice because you knew someone took the time to create them to promote an event

Unlike a gift, "it's the thought that counts" doesn't fly with me here. I don't care how much effort the secretary took to cobble some shitty poster together - it still looked terrible. I'd rather look at something clean and polished produced by AI (no matter how "generic" people here claim the OP's posters look).

> who is getting sued when it is wrong?

You. Don't take legal advice from a word calculator.

I'll join you on the pitchforks. This is the most exciting moment in history.

If you're browsing Reddit for its front page, yes, that's trash. But it can be a great source for getting information on narrow, specific topics on well-moderated subreddits filled with enthusiastic and obsessive people eager to share their knowledge. It's been very helpful for me when researching coffee grinders, refrigerators, solar battery backups, headphones, and other such things.

Gotta double-dip on those internet points.

> enough for my needs

Which are...?

Probably because polite people are already in the habit of saying please when typing out requests in chat. We're not consciously thinking about it, regardless of whether a human or machine is on the other side.

Don't worry - I'm paying for our friends overseas to keep their distilling operations going.

> What makes you say it's LLM?

Probably the usual "big words hard" mindset of people who aren't used to reading well-written prose.

I'm totally clueless, but aren't there rules requiring accessibility of public-facing government communications, to the extent that they shouldn't be allowed to use a gated platform when making official statements that are a matter of public interest?

There were still meaningful lessons to take away. Your loss.

Maybe feed the article to another AI to summarize so you'll feel less hoodwinked about someone passing off AI writing as their own?

> what if the companies factory explodes due to a mishap and takes out a few city blocks, is the company held liable

Yes, but, generally, in the United States, they would be liable because their negligence caused the harm (giving rise to civil liability), even if they did not intend to cause harm (where having such intent would have given rise to criminal liability).

And I say "generally" because there can be instances of criminal negligence, but that varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction as well as the underlying facts.

If you're on the DeepSeek Platform, you'd see this:

"We plan to raise the overall pricing for DeepSeek API services in the near future, with a significant increase expected. Please plan your usage accordingly. The specific pricing plan will be subject to official notice."

Sure, based on predicate knowledge.
