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…

> The document is dated May 2024 so is out of date, meaning ICE may not have access to every one of these capabilities at the time of writing. ICE has continued to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on peoples’…
I think another aspect is the deep understanding one gains from building the thing, and the idea of the thing being entirely the creator's and translated into "reality" through some kind of physical or mental labor. An…
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…
I loved my TI-84+ SE and wish I still had it (had all sorts of custom programs on it but it got lost or stolen before I finished high school). That said, I find it really hard to believe that they can't provide better…
I wish the audio quality of youtube videos matched other streaming services. Bandwidth-wise it's pretty minimal, but the audio quality isn't quite as good as competitors like Spotify (and the longer they take to upgrade…
> By this logic, the Nazis were the good guys in WWII, and Israel would be the good guys if they'd just turn off all their pesky air defenses. Can you elaborate on this? I thought that the Nazis were pretty obviously…
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…
> This was not opportunistic. It was precision. The malicious dependency was staged 18 hours in advance. Another obvious ChatGPT-ism. The fact that people are using AI to write these security posts doesn't surprise me,…
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,…
This is an angle for people who default to AI-edited written speech that I've tried to be more empathetic to. I think it depends on your audience, but in professional writing that isn't published publicly (i.e.…
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 think many used to feel that Google was the standout ethical player in big tech, much like we currently view Anthropic in the AI space. I also hope Anthropic does a better job, but seeing how quickly Google folded on…
> I randomly tried Android again for a few months last spring. Using a functioning keyboard was revelatory. But I came crawling back to iOS because I'm weak and the orange iPhone was pretty and the Pixel 10 was boring…
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…

This resonated a lot with me. I am also addicted to being useful and find that off days where my output and usefulness isn't where I'd like it to be really tank my self esteem. I do think it can be a double-edged sword…
