Nothing says delicious meal like the liberal application of the AI image piss filter

I would personally much rather drink the “human who doesn’t speak fluently” poison.

If you can’t communicate effectively in the language how are you evaluating that it doesn’t make you sound like a bot?

Because it doesn’t just fix your grammar, it makes you sound suspiciously like spam.

I’ve been noticing a trend of companies avoiding hiring non-technical PMs for as long as possible, in order to keep small technical startups (particularly dev tools, it seems) focused on building and not hiring too many people too early who can’t contribute code. I’m looking to set up a fractional service for product management consulting to support this way of working: https://www.metaluna.io. We will see if the demand is really there or not.

Towing and cargo capacity

It isn’t elitist, it’s an answer to the specific question the scenario where someone could substitute a f150 for a cyber truck.

The PT cruiser looks like a potato, and the Cybertruck looks like a potato slicer. It's a match made in heaven.

We are all artists in the sense that we type what we want into the text box? I think that’s more just another form of consumer than an artist.

I guess where I live I’ve been lucky to find a nice community of people who don’t live online.

The potential difference I think is that you will be able to replace your social circle with people who behave to your preference. Advertising will be per person, rather than per segment, so that will fade as a unifying factor. I think once parents start putting AR goggles on their kids all bets are off about how social relationships with humans in your presence have some kind of primacy will fade away. That said, I do hope you’re right.

I feel like the future pretty much has to be more local, in person, and human, and as much as you can interact with the internet as a utility rather than as the main source of interaction in your life it is for the best. That’s probably the best lesson you can teach your kids if you don’t want them to be part of society that just sort of permanently falls into the internet, always plugged in via goggles or brain implant and fed AI generated content, never to return. It already seems like there’s a group that is basically terminally online and it seems like it’s only going to get worse.

Why would the vast majority of people watch a human YouTuber or other kind of charisma-based influencer when they can choose from infinite custom generated ones that always provide exactly the content they want at any time, look and act just like they want them to, and listen to feedback perfectly, and interact with them on a one on one basis?

I’m not sure, there is something meaningful and rewarding in doing even hard work to make life better for the people around you, or creating beautiful things from the sweat of your brow. A future of forced endless leisure sort of sounds like a dystopia honestly.

Potentially they can use early versions of the automation to accelerate this.

Artists seem like they are first up for replacement, no?

Does he get to an answer in the book?

Also, their whole business is something like “Are you the perfect mark? Then you can pay me to help you.”

It’s honestly a bit islamophobic to assume that anyone saying religious violence is bad must be attacking Muslims, isn’t it? Jumping to that conclusion requires a bunch of leaps that I’m not sure are actually true.

Down with graybeards, up with salt and pepperbeards

I'm a native English speaker and it sounds less sophisticated to me. Something a middle management drone somewhere would say.

How does saying you have anxiety when you smoke weed push back against people who were overly positive about it though?

Makes sense! That would align pretty well with my personal experience too.

Sure, but the phenomenon exists across all the threads about cannabis.

It’s interesting how on HN whenever a topic related to cannabis comes up so many people jump in to say they have anxiety, and that weed makes it worse, and that it must be the same for everyone. Does HN have a higher than normal percentage of highly anxious people? Or is it just the threads attract the kind of people who are likely to be anxious and jumpy around the topic? It’s a really interesting phenomenon. In real life, people may like it or not, may still use it or not, but the discussion seems way more casual and nowhere near as singularly anxiety fixated as when the topic comes up here.

I’m not judging, I’ve been treated for anxiety myself. Just quite curious about how different the conversations are.

What does it mean to visit an ER for cannnabis? Wouldn’t that typically be an anxiety attack in the first place?

I made an account to check it out and was surprised to see it was just recommending nothing but US politics outrage bait, just like Twitter.

Perhaps savings from payroll were offset by loan repayments.

What’s the reason for lite salt and tricking people to eat it and see if they notice? Is it meant to be better for you or something?

It's not a very good summary. Just give reading it a chance - it's not too bad.
