notaigenerated··on The dangerous delusion of modern warfare
"Air superiority" wouldn't do anything in 2026 unless you're fighting an African tribe with ak47s in a fullscale war and even then your enemies would probably supply the tribe with some air defense systems that would cause trouble for the pilots.

The summaries are great. What model/process do you use to generate them?

Is it all automated?

Your brain isn't broken. You're just a man.
notaigenerated··on Biden puts a bullet in Kaspersky: Sales, updates to be banned in America
Telegram is barely russian. The founder is basically a russian dissident and a French citizen.

Totally makes sense, since Kaspersky is not just an anti-virus company and it's not just "part-Russian"

They're literally a contractor and consultant to russian military.

notaigenerated··on America's Regime Change Wars Created Europe's Refugee Crisis
I often do the "background check" of the writers that smell propaganda/psyop. What did they write and when they wrote it.

If you do just a quick check of what this guy wrote, you'll see he isn't just "a critic".

His Ukraine-related articles are the real litmus test. He's literally spewing the russian propaganda nonsense.

notaigenerated··on America's Regime Change Wars Created Europe's Refugee Crisis
The author sounds as if he was directly hired by the russians, lmao.

His writing tone is "60s soviet propaganda" and the arguments are shallow and insubstantial, to say the least.

upd. Just checked his other articles. Yup, dude is a russian shill.

notaigenerated··on Ask HN: What movies changed your perception of reality or life?
"Come and see" and "20 Days in Mariupol". Both are about wars and both affect you the way nothing else does.

The last one is a documentary about the war in Ukraine. The actual raw uninterpreted reality of things that we read about in history books or in the news changes your perspective on many things, from politics to simple things in life that we often take for granted.

News stories force an agenda on you. History books may give you some knowledge about the reality we live in today. THIS lets you live through the traumatic experience of the history books and news story events.

Not everything should be a chat interface.
notaigenerated··on Tech giants are hijacking the internet
Banks did that to our money and everyone's fine with that. Although banks are slow and stupid af, unlike big tech who offer high quality services.

Why is that?

Openai changed it course.

Time for rebranding!

ClosedAI? MicrosoftAI? What do you think it should be?

notaigenerated··on Ask HN: Why there’s no info about people declining fingerprints in EU id cards?
I'm not sure if there are/were cases you're asking about, but tech companies like Google do have policies that don't allow "harmful" information to get through and be found.

It started in 2016 when Trump got elected after launching multiple successful online campaigns.

It was tested and improved during the covid outbreak and the latest US elections.

Now it's a huge gatekeeping machine that "protects you from mis- and disinformation online".

One of the criteria for allowing information on Google is "consensus". I assume legislation is considered consensus too.

notaigenerated··on Want anonymity? Make a persona not a mystery
One more use case for personas:

As someone who owns a popular website, I often receive guest writing inquiries (probably for links and SEO).

Most of the time it's either Indians or Eastern European guys. But for some reason they always use fake personas and names to sound/look more "western".

When I asked why do they do that, the answer was "it increases the conversion rates" among "western" publishers. Who also happen to be the most valuable prospects.

So, basically they exploit the conscious or subconscious xenophobic biases in people of western cultures towards people from other "foreign" cultures by creating fake personas. And it works! People are more likely to accept guest articles from someone who looks like them.

PS. You would be surprised to know how many contributors at Forbes, Inc, Entrepreneur, Tech Crunch, Mashable, etc are completely fake personas.
