How is this a debate? Anthropic's AI was used in military/defense operations. When Anthropic discovered this and disclosed it publicly, they attempted to revoke access and went after the government demanding it not get used in such a way. This would be a supply chain risk to any government.

If Lockheed Martin disabled weapons systems when it discovered the Air Force using its fighters over Iranian airspace based on Lockheed's ideological views, I'm pretty sure they would be labeled a supply chain risk at minimum. What is the issue here?

Correct, from the government's perspective, anthropic is a risk to the supply chain and should not be included in sensitive government contracts.

Is that why he's so mad at their rulings all the time?

If every engineer is 10-100x more productive with AI, and one company slashes its workforce to maintain the same level of productivity at reduced cost, it will lose out to its competitor who retains the same workforce and does far more with it.

Right now, the vibe at my company is not “we can save so much money with AI” it’s “here’s an infinite budget, use all the tokens you can to expand our moat because we’ve never been more sensitive to competitive disruption than we are now”

I’m still not sure what your point regarding hey.com is, and certainly no big website in 1999 resembled it.

But to your other comment, are you professionally employed as a developer and still writing code by hand?

Turbotax.

A lot of us in America have no sales tax (if that’s what you mean by VAT) and those that do have it at a fraction of EU VAT rates.

We're all just one or two paychecks away from smoking fentanyl, screaming at random people, and masturbating on public transit.

But you do. You're a tech lead at Stripe and your CEO is a founding contributor to this foundation. This is what you fund with your labor.

And if you weren't afraid of people coming to their own conclusion about DHH you could just link to his blog[1] rather than some literal marxist's opinions about his blog. Why not be intellectually honest and curious enough to state what someone says and point out what you disagree with directly rather than mimetically echo someone else's outrage?

Well what does native mean? An XWindow? Native on gnome is different from native on kde or xfce or lxde…

then probably don't give this blog post your personal financial information just to be safe.

Your focus should be on junkyards on earth, which are exponentially greater in number on a surface area that is a fraction of the surface area of observable space. You’re complaining about a potentially artificial speck of light in the sky while plastic litters the highway you commute on, and India produces literal rivers of trash.

It has broken many times before. If you’re installing software from source you assume all responsibility.

Go use Debian if you don’t want to deal with breakage.

We definitely pay enterprise api costs. Only way to get google vertex integration, and Enterprise is too sensitive to let all of their data leave their moat.

That’s a shocking number. I don’t know how much my employer is billed, but based on the numbers reported by Claude code in its optional status bar, I’m often exceeding $300 in a day across sessions, when working on meatier tickets.

couldn't your name have been changed by your hijacker and sold?

Reddit is flooded with AI slop. r/all currently has AI-generated text posts and articles on the first page. Upvoted because they're the typical orange man bad stuff, but LLM slop nonetheless. Assuming the engagement is organic, it's depressing how much of the site has no eye for this stuff.

There are decent small communities I'm a part of but the trash feels like it is encroaching.

And the notifications you describe are exactly reddit's notifications? "your comment received 10/20/50/100 upvotes!" "x responds to y about z" "News is trending"

Sorry I shadow edited while you were replying. Restating my question - What is the benefit to the owner of the account? What do they get out of this?

The irony of this ai generated comment replying in defense of ai coding on hackernews. This entire vicchenai account has used llms to generate its entire comment history. What is the benefit to the owner of the account? What do they get out of this?

Contrary to the implication, the Swedish fund that possibly sold $8b of its $100b worth of US Treasuries did not cite politics as its reason for doing so, and no part of the article backs up that claim. Additionally, selling out of the US dollar as the fed aimed to cut rates and as the dollar declined from historic highs against the Euro seems sensible regardless of politics.

Denmark has been exiting foreign bonds for 10 years, down from a high of $24b in 2016 to $10b in 2025. It’s not only part of a trend, but the cited $100m of bonds sold makes up a negligible 0.00026% of US treasuries.

On that note, 1 USD buys nearly $1.40 CAD.

Politics makes it easy to write stories that paint an incomplete or incorrect picture.

Quoting the user it’s replying to in third person, and then hallucinating words inside the quote.

When I have asked LLMs to read/dictate a linked text, the output is usually not a clean read but something reinterpreted with its own style.

While I might not trust C code more than Java in life saving equipment, I would trust a median C developer over a Java one.

seems like an unlikely rumor to be true at this time

Qobuz works the same way. Set and forget. Don’t know about deezer.

matt-bornstein's commits in that repo do often start off with ai-generated descriptions which he then edits down. there are notes on some commits that say things like "AI GENERATED NEED TO EDIT". the other contributors' changes don't have these tells.

while it should come as no surprise to have software written by llms, if these books are in fact just picked by llms then what's the point of this list?

I thoroughly love this experience. I open subscriptions as needed to catch up on things I care about. Otherwise I use the homepage to search for something. No distractions. No infinitely scrolling feed of slop and ads.

AI is useful. I use Claude code every single day for building software.

I also wouldn’t want to go back to only web search for finding things out. Search engines are generally inferior.

There’s a candidate with a literal Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest and not one democrat condemned him or demanded he drop out. Guess his party affiliation.

So let’s just be clear that nobody is playing this fake outrage game anymore.

I don't think hn is reflective of where programmers are today, culturally. 10 years ago, sure, it probably was.

You need to get a grip on reality for your own sake.

I mentioned both terrorist and communist for evidence-based reasons. I am literally a naturalized citizen who had to affirm he was not affiliated with communist parties when applying for citizenship in this country. The rules were literally different for me then, than they are for me now as a citizen.

Other people “pointing out” other arguments is fine - we can disagree, one or both of us can be wrong, etc. Liberalism is built on individual rights.

But you want to label people as extreme in order to kill them. I don’t know what made your heart so corrupted by hate but I hope you find your way out
