Man, this one really hurt. My mom was a huge Trekkie and it's something I had some ambient exposure to in childhood but didn't really get into until adulthood when I started watching TNG as a comfort show after her…

this is really neat. I wonder if people will start building open world games or "AR" games in the vein of Pokemon Go and Ingress based on similar tech. I've had a similar idea for a long time but don't think it was…
More than other AI moments in the last few years, this feels to me like an event in tech that will be seen retroactively as an important watershed moment. I really appreciated the negative framing and critical tone of…
I've been using Fable on and off since the promotion started and have been fairly impressed with it, so I consider this great news! At the same time, I sense a lot of negativity (especially on HN) in comparison to Codex…
I remember the hype around the first OnePlus phone, with the invite system. It was the first time I'd had a device loaded with Cyanogenmod that ran relatively stable without any issues. Eventually the capactive touch…
I'm thankful I tested Fable via my subscription before the cutoff. To me, it seemed like at least part of the improvements were in how it broke up work for a "one-shot" style prompt, but I was very impressed at how…
Computers feel like a pretty good analogy for how AI will affect the workforce. I suspect productivity will massively increase, the complexity and cognitive load of our work will similarly multiply, and yet we'll still…
I've been thinking for some time that it wouldn't be too hard to create a third-party browser extension to crowdsource detection of channels that use primarily AI-generated content (for example, the AI slop music…
Like a lot of things in tech and pop science, "AI psychosis" had a narrow(-er) definition [1] (psychotic-like symptoms, i.e. believing the AI is in love with you, or being fueled by the AI into some strong delusions or…
The trust component is so critical here. When I get halfway through reading a design doc and hit a part that's obviously slop, it really hurts my confidence in the project and in any faith in the developer having done…
I think this is a political and economic problem rather than a technological one. I cannot think of a more important skill than surgery to continue training humans to do and to be wary of AI robotics replacing. Sure,…
I've been meaning to get off Gmail, and Proton Mail does seem like my favorite of the alternatives from a quick glance, but I'm also concerned about privacy focused services like Proton getting blocked or compromised in…

I feel like this anecdote represents the differing incentives / philosophies of each group rather well. I've noticed ChatGPT is rather high in its praise regardless of how valuable the input is, Gemini is less placating…

I think you're advocating for better mental health care and rehabilitation of addicts, which I agree with. However, the idea that addicts will destroy their lives regardless of whether they stop using, or are forced to…
For all of the naysayers in the comments, I think the author has hit on a palpable societal trend, at least in the US. My leading theory is that the pandemic supercharged a lot of folks' individualist tendencies and/or…
Thanks for throwing in references like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_forest_hypothesis even though this was a silly response to the science fiction implications. I found it an interesting read and hadn't heard the…

Notepad++ was a life saver in my early days of needing to open and edit large files without having the tech literacy or familiarity required to use an actual IDE. I was a Windows "tinkerer" for a long time before…
For anybody who's wondering, Nintendo doesn't _actually_ own Pokemon (a common misconception), but has a major stake in "The Pokemon Company", which does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo#Subsidiaries As such, I…
That's a pretty grim outlook, but I honestly can't poke a "hole" in its logic. Well stated, somebody's clearly done their reading on Marxist theory :) I've been struggling recently with limitations on "managing upward"…
