Are you claiming that’s what happening, or just engaging in ominous speculation?

> we now know without any ambiguity

Do we? The source is OpenAI, and if they’re looking for an excuse to slow down or pause investment, then they have every incentive to overstate the situation.

Drop shadows on boxes were a common TUI element in the Norton Commander days.

I got blocked by the subscription wall, so didn’t read the article. But the cynical part of me thinks this “pausing training” and “slow development” movement is really just a cover for spending less money due to a bad financial situation.

I’m not convinced billionaires “create jobs” in any meaningful numbers.

Sure, the companies that made them wealthy do, but the billionaires themselves? Doubt.

So if the only consequence of this is that the billionaires flee to Texas, with its regressive taxes, and take the wealth inequality and corruption that goes with them… I’m not seeing that as a bad thing.

This is an amazing article. The problems it describes are exactly what we found when building a production system that used LLMs to (most of the time) produce reliable results. Extensive tests are necessary, and stakeholders have no idea how their suggestions fail in production. They just see the handful of times they tried something and had it work, not the long tail of cursed results. (“How hard can it be? Why don’t you just…”)

We didn’t get to the point of self-built prompts, as the article suggests, but it’s an intriguing idea.

Were the people you were interviewing already unemployed? Work trials are harder when people are already employed. There can be legal issues as well as scheduling ones.

I have to agree with @fleshdaddy. The explainer page itself looks like slop. I haven’t seen the original project but I’m afraid this makes me less interested, not more.

You’re almost there.

People shit on things that are low effort, and especially low-effort trends. And especially especially when the low-effort trend involves something that offends them in some way, for example if they think AI is taking jobs, hurting the environment, etc.

Of course people are shitting on low-effort AI. It would be more surprising if they didn’t.

Vacuum is an insulator. I think you may have been mislead.

You’re right that a poor quality readme doesn’t mean a poor-quality product, but it seems more likely than not to me.

Slop is an instant tab close for me. If something’s good, it’ll come around again. I’ll catch it when there's some evidence that it’s worth my time.

I appreciate it when people say something is slop. Saves me from wasting my time looking at it.

How many slop ideas have come to the front page, never to be heard from again because the execution isn’t actually any good? I’m guessing most of them.

Texas has no income tax. It makes up the difference with sales tax and an unusually high property tax.

Given the backlash amongst gamers against AI, how does being an “AI gaming” company work?

Brown dogs chase cars != all dogs chase cars. And especially, != black dogs chase cars.

80s hobbiest programmers are GenX, and maybe most execs are GenX, but that doesn’t mean both groups share the same opinions.

Slop, and with nothing new to say. The “something” is the AI bubble.

Specifically, they have an opt-in request and an associated toggle in Settings for using Siri conversations to improve their AI.

Problem is, if they didn’t put in the effort to write the article, how can I trust that they put in the effort to verify the facts?

Not to mention that the article is terribly verbose and never gets to its point (by the time I gave up, that is, quite a long way through). Writing is how you organize your thoughts, and it’s not been done here.

I think this is AI. It’s not as bad as some, but it’s got that breathless enthusiasm and drones on and on without ever quite getting to its point.

It’s not contradictory if it can change the world without being something software engineers specifically can work with.

There’s no shilling here. The person who posted the link isn’t the person who wrote the blog.

Your parent comment reads like AI slop, so you may not be as good at editing as you think. Worth thinking about the impression you’re conveying about yourself.

Why would you guess that? “Prediction is hard, especially when it’s about the future.”

Don’t ask Hacker News for legal advice. If you really want to know the answer, ask a lawyer.

The issue is that scrapers are rotating their IP and essentially performing a DDoS attack. Anubis is part of a defense-in-depth solution. If scrapers reuse a cookie, traditional anti-abuse mechanisms will work.

Yep, that would make sense.

That’s a pretty reasonable hypothesis. The article says that they’re careful with what they post, but I haven’t actually looked up their content. It’s also possible that Meta just doesn’t want strip clubs on their platform at all, regardless of what they post.

The facts are quite clear:

1. A Canadian business posted an image of a sign criticizing the US administration

2. Soon after, their Instagram account was suspended.

3. This has happened before with their Twitter account, which they were able to get restored after a week.

But you already knew that, and instead are making passive-aggressive insinuations. If you want to make an actual argument, make it.

As for me, that along with the other facts I know about the Trump administration are more than enough to form an opinion: this isn’t evidence of a politically-motivated takedown, but it certainly fits the administration’s character, and I’m not going to give them the benefit of the doubt.

To be clear, the administration is making racist arcade games (e.g., a Tetris knock-off about the Mexican border that portrays Mexicans as literal aliens and zombies), not causing other people to make their arcade games racist.

I loved Forever War, but I don’t think it would make a great film. It needs space to breathe. A 8-hour limited series, on the other hand…
