paradoxyl··on Google plans to invest up to $40B in Anthropic
Creating productivity gain narrtives
paradoxyl··on ChatGPT Images 2.0
What a dystopian, pro-tyranny ask. Horrifying.
paradoxyl··on Anthropic takes $5B from Amazon and pledges $100B in cloud spending in return
That's a tad naive. CEOs can and have and often lied about everything:

Sam Bankman-Fried, Elizabeth Holmes, Kenneth Lay - and hundreds if not thousands more.

The SEC is a regulatory agency, not able to bring criminal charges. The above-named for the most part had to be prosecuted by the Department of Justice or sometimes state attorneys.

paradoxyl··on AI assistance when contributing to the Linux kernel
Just thinking out loud... why can't an algorithm be an artificial person in the legal sense that a corporation is? Why not legally incorporate the AI as a corporation so it can operate in the real world: have accounts, create and hold copyrights...
paradoxyl··on Jensen Huang says Nvidia is pulling back from OpenAI and Anthropic
And maybe TSMC should make cellphones? If you're higher up the supply chain why go downstream into risk? It's financially irresponsible.
paradoxyl··on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash
Maybe a subtle form of gaslighting with features of victim blaming and argument from authority? Microsoft treats its users and customers with utter contempt.

I hope Valve takes this opportunity to turn its toehold with Steam OS into a full-blown invasion of the desktop/laptop market and destroy Microsoft's monopoly while the latter is so focused on creating everything an actual user doesn't want:

- virulent data mining

- wanton privacy destruction

- worthless UIX changes

- clumsy, useless "agentic" integrations

- disgustingly overpriced "licenses"

- software as a service

- planned obsolescence

etc.

paradoxyl··on Counter-Strike's player economy is in a freefall
Should 17-year-olds be gambling? They're still in high school, the high-tech excuse of blaming the parents while pocketing billions of dollars is odious and convincing a jury to slap these companies with tobacco industry levels of damage remains feasible.
paradoxyl··on Open Source Society University – Path to a free self-taught education in CS
This guide hasn't been updated since 2020, does it need or will there be updates in the future?
paradoxyl··on Grifters, believers, grinders, and coasters
He should've thought harder about the names, particularly "grifter." What he describes is not even remotely close to what grifting means.
paradoxyl··on Financial Statement Analysis with Large Language Models
The technocrat thinks that the AI is that generalist and will impose it on you whether you want it or not:

"I didn't violate a red light. I wasn't even driving, the AI was!"

"The AI said you did, that's 50,000 yuan please."

paradoxyl··on So you wanna de-bog yourself
Failure to define your meaning of "bog" in the opening paragraphs leads to unneeded frustration.
paradoxyl··on Top Israeli spy chief exposes his true identity in online security lapse
Given how unreliable LLM is in general usage with its tendency to "hallucinate" -- a grossly anthropomorphic term, when it's just an alogrithm with no sense of what's "actual" or "fictional" -- to use this in government and law is irresponsible and criminaly negligent.

To use it in war is abhorrent.

paradoxyl··on Argentina's Economy Is Screaming at Top of Its Lungs
If Milei is turning away from the economic independence offered by BRICS to sell off all state assets to Blackrock he is a traitor.
paradoxyl··on Meta's new LLM-based test generator
Just another way to censor the free speech of those who opppose the technocracy, or "private-public partnership" or whatever weasel words they use to take away freedom from the masses.
paradoxyl··on Why do so many people think they are in a bullshit job?
This is why the elites have to be overthrown, their insane structures destroyed. They are beyond greedy, they are simply stupid. Imagine, wasting 12k on a powerpoint while people in your country starve and struggle on the street with addiction. What sort of psychpathy have you ingested?
paradoxyl··on Dianne Feinstein has died
When do you think some third party is going to arise out of the broken cesspool of one-party machine politics in the state of dementia known as California? Please, fill us in.
paradoxyl··on Ask HN: What's the Situation with YouTube-Dl?
It doesn't suck, it's been destroyed for the sake of control.
paradoxyl··on Third-party Reddit apps are being crushed by price increases
As long as old.reddit.com still exists for desktop, the site is semi-usable, although the insane moderation policies and narrow ideology makes the site basically useless except for niche reddits. Though I have gone from a daily user years back to maybe once a month. It's that bad.

On mobile, I can still read direct links to reddit posts that crop up on HN using Firefox for Android. Can't say same for the Twitter, which just says, "You need to enable javascript." Well, I won't.

paradoxyl··on Killer whales wreck boat in latest attack off Spain
Alarming? There's 7,000,000,000 humans and only 50,000 orcas left. Who's in the wrong here?
paradoxyl··on If we lose the Internet Archive, we’re screwed
That's not an export, that's propaganda.

That's like saying fiat currency is just as valuable as lithium deposits. It's the hubris of the West.

paradoxyl··on If we lose the Internet Archive, we’re screwed
No profit in that for lobbyists and corporations. They are the only voices that matter in the current system.
paradoxyl··on The secret sauce of TikTok’s recommendations
I was behind a woman today on an escalator. I wasn't shoulder-surfing, she held her phone up so high I couldn't help but see it. She was on Tik-Tok. She watched like twenty videos in one minute. One second, click. One second, click. What good this does anybody at all, anywhere, is beyond me. It was all trash.
paradoxyl··on California pulls the plug on rooftop solar
The entire Western empire as it's run today is a subsidy for rich people by poor people and the rest of world. But as Eurasia unites against it and dollar hegemony breaks, these technocrats just double-down on their ideology and failed ideas.
paradoxyl··on Goldman Sachs Considers Eliminating as Many as 4,000 Jobs
I assume they start with their "crypto market analysts" ...
paradoxyl··on Cylindrical aquarium housing 1,500 exotic fish bursts in Berlin
Says a guy named "Cthulhu"? Obviously, he is being humorous.
paradoxyl··on Individuals prefer to harm their own group rather than help an opposing group
Explains the globalist-technocrat Western leader trash response to the Multipolar world. Hate on China and Russia, abuse your own citizens.
