I wonder if this is a bot account posting this. 0 comments, and a bunch of random tech articles posted.

Also a garbage article (site is laggy, ady, clunky).

Doesn't succinctly explain why AI can't be killing both jobs and business models. It's clearly killing jobs (e.g. warehouse workers for amazon), not sure what to make of this.

------

Here's what I propose: perform a bot-audit on the site. Pick a certain number of "suspect" accounts, and write code that, if those accounts are logged in, a very very basic captcha is presented. Use data on this to ascertain if botting is a problem on the site, and whether it needs a systemic solution.

Yeah forbes is garbage, I'm running a plugin for eliminating such trash sites from chrome google search results. Anyone know of a way to filter out sources on HN?

Could you please share which plugin are you using?

I read HN through rss feed of hnapp.com

"score>20 -apple -founder -investor -host:nytimes.com -host:bloomberg.com -host:wsj.com" gives more tech, less current events noise. You will need to add -host:forbes.com to the list

What's worse: Be a hater or be a bot ?

The headline is enough to determine the reason this article exists. It's just denial that common people will suffer. They're just reassuring themselves that some minor changes will make sure big time investors and managers aren't the bad guys. Later when it doesn't pan out that way, they can blame the bad advice.

The story of the Luddites was also spun this way. But that only became true of the new/later workforce, much of the old workforce was unable to adapt effectively.

My buzzword bingo overloaded when the word disrupt seemed to appear in every second sentence...
