Giving up just ensures that your voice and values certainly won’t be heard. But I guess it’s comfortable enough for you still so there is little reason to get active. Soon it won’t be so comfortable anymore also for you, by then it will be too late to speak up.

It’s laughable that you think nothing has changed in the last 50 years politically. Not so recently they were still putting people to death by the hundreds of thousands in my country and I’m sure as shit not gonna let it happen again, even if it’s a bit cringe for you to witness resistance to facism

Your brain should be smooth and round like a polished marble

Political messaging is good and important especially nowadays

Keep it going! I did that to my Facebook pfp (they also have stickers) - after a few years it became this abstract, glitchy work of art. I don’t use fb anymore but still remember that fondly

I wouldn’t wanna be caught on the US border with some of these!

Crazy that this is one of the first things that came to my mind

I think it’s one of the best marketing websites for a SaaS I know, if not the best. Taste is clearly subjective

If it just were that simple. The reality is that this is a very slippery slope and you won’t get a support contract just like that with a “tight leash”

Wouldn’t that only affect new versions and current versions are still licensed under the old license ?

I’m not saying it’s not possible to get this information elsewhere - but it’s impossible to prevent ChatGPT from telling you how to do illegal stuff; something that the model explicitly should not be able to according to its makers

Looking at the quality of most “contributions” - “hey I added a bunch of unnecessary ai slob to your readme” - oh god please no

You can modify the output but the underlying model is always susceptible to jail breaks. A method I tried a couple months ago to reliably get it to explain to me how to cook meth step by step still works. I’m not gonna share it, you just have to take my word on this.

Damn I didn’t even consider the second part…

It’s a propaganda and psyop operation on HN if you ask me. This stuff is laughably bad and I wonder who would actually use it for real work beyond a “huh this is cool” at first glance.

HN is super susceptible to propaganda in the AI age unfortunately; I think at this point a lot of the comments and posts on here are from bots as well

It’s very bad. So bad that you need to filter it out of search results; but it’s being pushed hard on HN, I wonder if there is some concerted bot action that influences this

It would be so hilarious if GEMA was actually useful for once and not a detriment to society and artists in general.

However of course OpenAI will ignore this and at worst nothing will change and at best they get a slap on the wrist and a fine and continue scraping.

You can’t take that stuff out of the models at this point anyway.

Incidentally there is another thread where just this is being discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45867125

Not sure if it can help in your case but definitely interesting.

I agree on circumcision but you made it out that all kinds of mutilation are perfectly acceptable. But that one should definitely be banned, idk why (no -Jewish) Americans are so obsessed with it.

> There are plenty of unknowable things about life.

I agree but I know that I’m going to die someday.

As for where genetic engineering can lead I recommend the book “All Tomorrows”.

In any case i broadly agree with you - however there should still be guardrails and until we can safely and reliably manipulate the genetics of “less complex” animals we shouldn’t experiment with humans.

However you can probably do it if you really want! There are lots of countries that have less guardrails in place - but I would assume you don’t want to take the risk when it’s comes to your own life/offspring or am I wrong?

Take some trajectory-changing bets yourself and then I’ll believe that what you are saying is not just posturing

People aren’t allowed to mutilate babies what the hell are you going on about?

Genetic tampering can lead to all kinds of unknowable nightmares.

What is the big conspiracy that Suchir was allegedly killed for?

Everyone knows that OpenAi blatantly violated copyright during training but no one really cares

Is it reinventing OIDC or what is the benefit of this?

No way in hell I’m gonna learn another of these nightmarish protocols unless this is somehow much much better.

I use docusaurus and am happy - any reason I should switch to this or does it make more sense if you have a greenfield use case?

I don’t really care how long it takes to build as long as it’s not minutes. Also don’t care about “modern” look whatever that means really. And I have lots of custom components that (I assume?) would be hard to migrate

True and if there was a good dumb phone alternative I would prefer that probably.

I do however need to use some apps sometimes unfortunately. My bank for example implemented some proprietary 2fa method that I need to use an app for (or i buy a special device to it which also seems inconvenient).

Anyway it’s the only phone i ever bought; only used 2hand ones before and I’ll probably won’t buy another

Getting happy from it is 100% the most effective way to change habits. Unfortunately it’s also very subjective and hard to find out what makes you happy…

Alcohol free beer was a game changer for me. Also if I can’t avoid it alternating alcohol-containing and alcohol-free drinks.

For exercise your tip doesn’t help me at all. I hate audiobooks and podcasts so that would turn me off more from exercising. Also I want to concentrate on the exercise and not do it halfhearted.

What helped me was to realise how much better I feel after exercising - since then i kinda got addicted to it because I notice how much worse I feel after not doing it for a couple of days.

I agree on the friction. Just not having access to cigarettes is the best way for me to not smoke. I just don’t buy them and bumming one from someone else comes with a degree of personal shame for me that makes me avoid them (in almost all cases).

I naturally don’t like sweet stuff that much - however since I moved from EU to America (not US) it’s been really hard to avoid sugar. Y’all put that stuff into everything it’s crazy; I gotta watch out like a hawk and go to special stores. In Europe it was so much easier, there are always cheap sugar free whole foods available in every supermarket.

I did use win98 briefly, which was bearable but it also wasn’t good. You are probably referring to an even older version

I disagree. You can disable all the apps—in fact never use _any_ app if you can avoid it altogether. Apps are inherently bad, and the web version is always better.

It didn’t have to be like this, but here we are.

I often go weeks without opening any app but the browser on my phone.

I haven’t used Apple devices back when they were good so I have always avoided all the built-in Apple bloat/adware.

Because I came from Windows this was already my standard assumption - I need to violently throw out all the built-in stuff and replace it with free and good software.

It’s funny because that means I never felt the same pain you feel; I just assumed that’s how operating systems are.

This implies we could ever trust them.

The reality is most people don’t care about this.

And if they do care they will find workarounds as you said.

Nothing will change, the frog has been sitting in boiling water for more than a generation now and the newbloods never experienced the computational freedom you hold dear; they will happily use whatever corporate surveillance technology is being forced upon them. They will even defend it to the bone if you try to take it away

If you live in the west it’s no problem - the amount of waste there is insane
