This is a universal problem, interesting enough especially you'll notice that in the automotive sectors a lot. Crappy local automakers pull the nationality card because they can't compete on real engineering.

Mixing of actual underlined text and hyperlinked text with the same underline should actually be criminal. I hope the author has installed heatmaps.

> The company sounds like a bunch of hot air to me.

When they make being from Europe their whole personality, that shows how little value there is to the actual value proposition.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Only if you're a terrible person with poor ethics. This isn't how great companies operate. That's just deception.

Then don't be pretentious and frame it as a morality statement. Just call it what it is.

All these were released way late for a company called "Open" AI. But go on, keep defending the billion dollar corporation.

    We are making this choice because we cannot be confident that SpaceX will use our technology within our terms of service, based on our experience with Elon Musk's companies violating contracts.

The pot calling the kettle black. Look who's talking. A company that trained it's models illegally on so many copyrighted materials without compensating anyone involved.

For a company named "Open" AI, they've been hardly open at all and the slew of resignations of top tier execs in the company is really the proof.

Make no mistake, this isn't a moral decision. This is just killing the competition using morality as an excuse.

Wish that mod who defended calling out the pro-Apple stance here sees this. Paraphrasing:

"Please don't act like a jerk on HN. There are articles and comments criticizing Apple all the time and it's fine."

Tipping is a weird phenomenon that's only an issue in the Americas. I have traveled extensively all over Asia and even the same chain/restaurants which are US based don't actually have the concept of tipping. Sure, you can always tip if you want. However, the issue with tipping culture is the blatant entitlement. I always tell rude waiters who literally demand tips for shitty services this:

    A tip is a token of gratitude, should the customer choose to offer. It is not an entitlement.

I get it, their wages aren't great. However, that is a discussion to be had with their employer, not me.

Of course, I want them to get paid a fair wage too - the only way to fight against this culture is taking a stand against tipping. If enough people don't tip, hopefully the restaurant will struggle to find staff and eventually - either close down or increase the wages. But, don't try to run a restaurant when you clearly can't afford to pay your staff a decent wage. That's just running a business on hopes and dreams. It's not my job to subsidize your poor financial and business planning.

No, that was the very first time that article was submitted to HN. That's not called "talking about" it. Talking about it means highlighting this enough in discussions so users really know their privacy is being compromised. I have more respect for AI companies that openly talk about selling user data than the ones pretending to be privacy heroes while doing the opposite.

I'm surprised no one mentions about their recent privacy violation(s).

The breaking point for me was the privacy violation. They've been fingerprinting every request and violating users' privacy hoping no one would notice. Too bad, someone found out and that was the day when I cancelled my subscription.

Agreed on not hosting things yourself, but, I am not arguing against cloud hosting at all - just Azure. If they just came out and admitted it is a disaster and swallowed their pride and moved their services towards anything else at all - GCP, AWS or whatever else - I think their uptime would significantly improve. Of course, the fundamental problem here is the culture of the company itself. That's harder to fix.

Let's be honest here, the real reason is the crap that is Azure. GitHub was perfectly fine until then. They are just too bureaucratic to admit it.

No they were not. Especially if you were an end user, you wouldn't have been able to tell it wasn't their own model. That exactly isn't being clear nor public.

I bet this would've been ground breaking if this was an announcement from Apple though.

This reminds me of the marketers who hated programmers and coding in general in the early 2000s era, and fundamentally because the developers were seen as more important in a company. So, you know what they did? They didn't learn programming, they still hated it, instead, they renamed their titles to "hackers". Growth "hacking" would go on to become a term and had nothing to do with hacking - ethical or otherwise. It was a glorified marketing term for marketers and by marketers to justify their exorbitant salaries but also wanted the aura of a real hacker without working for it. I would imagine someone with that title or mindset joining an ethics role in an AI organization is going to find out quickly it isn't all about fluff pieces and grandiose statements at all (we are here to change the world!)

It's because of the CEO: Kara Sprague. Just another Marissa Meyer story, nothing new. We all saw how Yahoo turned out in the end.

Governments already use AI labs for surveillance, so, just the ownership will change, the victims will always be the citizens (Eg. see Flock cameras). Nothing gets better.

I'm surprised there was no mention of Elizabeth Holmes. Whenever there is mention of criminal deception of any sort, she's like the poster child for it in my eyes. And I remember her accomplice who instead of admitting he was on the wrong side, kept blaming the journalist who tried to uncover the fraud, instead. He said (something along the lines of) "He (the journalist) kept coming at her.." as if she would've been able to magically solve the problem if she had enough time.

That was all I needed to know about what was wrong about valley culture.

The "code was never the hard part" is a narrative pushed strongly by designers, MBA guys and product managers. Even before AI, they've always treated programmers like low-lives, someone beneath them and completely replaceable like commodity. Ironically, of this entire group, it isn't programmers that are being replaced left and right. Whole product teams, designers are being replaced. Good coders are still in demand - because, someone has to fix the vibe coded mess. In design, there is no reference for good and bad. You either like a design or not. In code, something either works or not. That's why it's always hard to replace a programmer as opposed to a designer.

Has Claude code et al replaced programmers? Not really. And it will be a long time before it can - because someone needs to still instruct the direction of the code, the base architecture to build upon and that comes with real human experience.

    We are sharing this because we believe it’s important to be transparent with the public and the safety and security communities about this potential shift in capabilities.

*proceeds to not share much details about strictness*

Yet another PR piece. Sigh.

> They'll re-invent/re-write things constantly

Re-invent is fine, that's how we actually get the good stuff we use.

Re-write (frequently) is usually a sign of bad power dynamics in the team, code rot and generally bad engineering management, in my experience.

That's why most React shops end up in this vicious cycle of constant re-writes of a perfectly fine working system for this reason. Yeah, must be really nice getting paid for it too.

Lol, a fake account created 44 minutes ago just to congratulate a YC company that isn't receiving enough traction despite staying on the home page for longer? What has this place become..

Yeah, because, your data is best collected by the US labs, right?

US or American, don't trust anyone, these are open weight models. Host them yourself if you feel strongly about privacy (as you should). I honestly don't know of any OSS open weight models from the US labs as good as Kimi K3 or Deepseek V4 though.

You of all the people should and would know that the slightest criticism of Apple is rejected here, not based by merit of the argument, but for simply endorsing the viewpoint that Apple can be evil too. I'm sure mods have tools and stats to see all this and you probably see it too, but you be you.

Also the whole premise of this is basically "US good, China bad"

Whatever Anthropic accuses the Chinese of possibly doing and being capable of, the US is as well. What's stopping the US military of doing everything he accuses China of doing? Infact, the framework suggested is simply a joke. Basically "trust me, bro" in an elaborate form.

The real person that should be held responsible for ghosting is the HR. They represent the company. It takes very little effort to even send an automated email intimating the rejection and better yet if possible, a one liner reason - even from a drop down so as to help the candidate improve themselves. Instead, all the fucking HR does all day long is make cringe videos on TikTok these days and create imaginary problems that don't exist to justify their existence to management.
