This is just an ad for maximally intrusive “AI”. We’re quite inured by now to all the dystopian nightmares, so this barely even registers.

Dear Leader will appreciate your help with brainwashing the masses.

With OpenAI leading the way with ads in their chatbots, that’s where all the money will be made. There are no ad blockers in chatbots. That’s why Zuck is frantically trying to catch up in the “AI” race. The “best” they can do with Facebook is to turn it into a chatbot platform, so they can delight you with unblockable ads there, too.

The conspiracy theories about power signalling in the other comments are all well and good, but I have a simpler theory: U.S.-ians don’t know their own language, plain and simple. There’s a reason that American English is referred to as “English, Simplified”. The U.S. is a culture of barbarism, and language is one of the more conspicuous areas where it shows. I’d suggest that those who still know grammar and orthography are less victims of a power imbalance than just better educated. Or maybe their tastes aren’t as badly ruined yet.

> the amazing ability to move fast and break things.

Or just plain recklessness.

This is yet another fairytale to sell us more “AI” subscriptions.

It’s extremely generous to call deliberate slop generation an error.

Far too many criminals are being protected from prosecution by the Donald. He now has literal armies of criminals in whose best interests it is to keep him in office. Will they scoff at committing more crimes to make sure their protection doesn’t evaporate due to an election?

Sadly, a National ID scheme is by far not the only way the U.S. is backwards and barbaric.

Some people have eyes and ears.

How could you hold a dumb machine “accountable”? Attempting that would be insane. How would you discipline it? Reduce the voltage in its power supply?

Do you hold the dice accountable when you lose at the craps table?

Never, ever have productivity gains improved the lives of those who do the actual work. They only ever enriched the owners of the factories.

But with “AI” the gain is more code getting generated faster. That is the dumbest possible way to measure productivity in software development. Remember, code is a liability. Pumping out 10x the amount of code is not 10x productivity.

Ran into a problem:

  ort-sys@2.0.0-rc.11: [ort-sys] [WARN] can't do xcframework linking for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin'

Build failed, bummer.

We’ve seen so many instances of Worse Is Better™ materialize around software development (and other areas) that I don’t dare to be as optimistic as you.

> That pretty much tells you how this will end, right there.

It seems so blatantly obvious, yet nobody wants to listen, and practically everyone knows better. We live in interesting times.

Anecdata: When it happens to me, disabling the VPN helps.

> And forget customizing or personalizing. That's right out.

Don’t panic, it’s only one additional subscription away. /s

To translate your answer:

- “You’re not spending enough money”

- “You’re not micromanaging enough”

Seriously?

> This bill would require a disclaimer on something published. That’s a freedom of speech issue

They can publish all they want, they just have to label it clearly. I don’t see how that is a free speech issue.

What, can’t his “AI” replicate it?

Not yet. Just wait until he has all the power.

They’ve been losing it for many years now, it just has become impossible to cover up now for even the most casual observers.

Just like Windoze, macOS is not software any more, it has become a platform for rent seeking and money extraction. That shifts the priorities noticeably.

Only if you’re rich. While the non-rich can’t afford health care.

It claims “native performance”, which makes me suspect it’s another Electron bloat.

O brave new world of endless manipulation opportunities! Once we’ve trained a generation of humans to always do what their “AI” tells them, there will be no more disobedience.

Yea, if I were interested in that level of micromanagement, I would have become a manager.

Where are the antitrust lawsuits when you need them?

How is this supposed to be interesting? It’s bots wasting resources posting meaningless slop using software with gaping security holes. It might be mildly entertaining, if you’re into that kind of stuff, before it gets old. I find the ridicule and sarcasm that related HN threads pour over it much more interesting.

Trump, ICE, and all their accomplices don’t give a shit about legality. A law that isn’t being enforced is useless.
