There's also a lot of people lashing out without knowing anything about data centers because they think AI is loser shit, and data centers have become a rallying point.

The Odyssey has shown us the most desperate and impotent review bomb ever.
In general, no. But I'd never make anything but anonymous throwaway posts here because this is the one place that doesn't let me delete my posts. (I know you can make manual requests, but if it's not self-service I can't rely on it.)
Data centers were a niche or nonexistent issue before the dislike of AI became mainstream.
Guess who organized these protests?
This comment is performance art.
Incredible comment. The success of this movie is driving people insane. There was no reason this had to be a culture war.
Excluding every Show HN and every .ai domain would be a good start.
People age out of wanting to sit in their bedroom with a handheld and become adults who have living rooms. For home gaming there will always be demand to play games on a real sized screen.
It's the worst kind of participation trophy to pretend that this disqualifyingly and embarrassingly stupid behavior is in the same ballpark as where we came from.
Right, AI exposes a pre-existing difference between two types of people, rather than create it.
I don't know if there's a connection between people valuing media as only it surface layer, and people who speak carelessly. I don't value slop but I can be guilty of the latter. I have wondered if I see different implications of words than other people do.
"Is a diet of McDonald's healthier than a salad that has shards of glass in it? Is McDonald's maybe healthy? Just asking questions."
We're becoming a society divided into people who only care about the words, and people for whom the words aren't valuable on their own without the subtext behind them.
This is true for both AI companionship and general AI creative output regardless of the medium.
Would you ever want to be as helpless at a skill you care about as the typical person is about math, since calculators were invented?
The self-promotion spam will continue until the community improves.
Yes it's worth commenting about. Not everyone, but many want to know that signal just like you do. It not only provides a useful heuristic about the article, but about whatever product or service they're advertising/selling.
Do the guidelines even matter if they're not enforced? This place is drowning in AI shovelware submissions from accounts that are only used for self promotion.
It will be worse than cable since my DVR has no unskippable commercial breaks.
But I love programming my own TV channels to get the best of both on-demand and programming-based viewing modes. ErsatzTV is great.
Twitter and Reddit went hostile to their users in 2023 with their respective API and other changes. A small percentage of leaders sought out newer and better options and this time the followers stayed where they were, not wanting to start over again. But everyone talks about hating social media now and they're going slowly inactive. It's the most expected outcome.
It doesn't happen overnight. It takes time to weaken a strong country to the point where a reality show buffoon can become president.
These are the rubes who buy into the desperate messaging that AI is "inevitable". It doesn't occur to them that their behavior is absurd and empty because they think it's what everyone else is doing too. Why question a decision you see as outside the boundary of your free will?
The company that gave up making games because there was more money to be had from inserting itself as a middleman into a previously open platform does not deserve any adoration.
People who litter the comments with worthless complaints about titles are one of the most annoying things about this place.
Is it possible that whatever the instability that got him kicked out early on, it's the same thing that's made him what he is today?
Worrying about "correctness" is such pre-LLM thinking. What's important now is generating content that doesn't require effort or labor cost.
Of course. They didn't treat 45 like a real candidate in 2015 because he deserved to be seen as one, they did it because it's lowest common denominator content and it's what people watch.
2014: people respond with indignance that they should have to learn SQL now that there's a shortcut
2026: people respond with indignance that they should have to learn anything now that there's a shortcut
Why would deleting a page on an obscure topic earn anyone clout? Did they see into the future to know the public tantrum would follow?
People, when you're working backwards from the party you want to criticize rather than starting from a real point, you have to land on a point that would make any kind of sense.
If the language is too irrelevant to be of interest then why would any bickering about it be notable? There must be thousands of topics people whine about for not making the notability threshold.
