"So now we need to help nature with our technology."
I guess the best help, would be stop getting into natures way so brutally, but since transforming the whole industry takes time and making people aware and care is even harder, some technical solutions to offset some damage is of course welcome.
"You’re absolutely right and it’s heartening to see"
Damnit, I usually don't jump to LLM speech patterns, but this opening had me thinking you were a bot. But after checking your profile, I think you pass as human. I wonder when will be the time, this does not work anymore for me. (Creation date is a strong hint, but abandoned accounts can be hijacked)
So likely a missunderstanding alltogether.

Incels are probably the biggest porn consumers.
Apart from that, I made no judgement about porn in general, just about porn tags in Chinese backed AI websites.
So what is the point then?
That is hilarious as porn is illegal in China. But I guess pron SEO is allright, if it is against the west.
I don't get, how you found that out, as HN does not show post upvote?
Checking his profile multiple times for the total score and compare when a post was made?
A chess engine.
But google can give gemini access to summaries of all the avaiable information google has, including what people look for right now and where and how long.
And "pirate camps".
Hm, when compared to all the information people with android devices share with google, or those with gmail, ..
But actual piracy has always been about stealing, so maybe it was not a smart move to label the movement after thieves and murderers, while insisting it is not about theft.
Because yes, it is copying. Nothing gets taken away. But when a pirate took a ship and it's gold away, it was gone.
It would create consciousness about the whole affair and not just in some nerd circles, but in the general population. People know the difference of buying and renting and they will be enraged if found out they have been scammed.
If ublock origin guards the connections above, ads still won't load.
(Except embedded ads, that also show now)
Oh. That was my mind blown for today.
Well, the song was a bit out of style for System of a Down, but the voices are similar enough.
But apple still goes after real apple producers, who are older than apple.

Something is wrong, when this is happening.
But will it stay free, once enough people invested in it?
Telegram engaged in a bit shady crypto stuff, and let scammer bots roam freely. Also there are perks, if someones troll/harass/spam and scam groups and enough people report them, they get temporary or permanently restricted - unless they pay money to Telegram. Then they are free to troll again.
"My first guess would be replicaton isn't that critical, because a user would mostly interact with an instance that's nearby, and this instance has their data. But the page mentions"
Apparently not
"Each account is associated with a DC upon registration and does not change with the user’s phone number or geographic location. Users cannot freely choose a DC—if connected to the wrong DC, the server returns an error message, requiring the client to connect to the correct DC associated with the account."
according to this source: https://dev.moe/en/3025
Also on the frontpage now:
"After that debacle I honestly cannot understand how anyone with even an iota of integrity can vote for them again"
Well, there is actually a very old song about them, here in a new version (that is also already quite old by now)

But the answer is probably lack of real alternatives.
Where is the communism in china except as a label?
Sure, nothing is magic. You can go look how a simple LLM works and build your understanding from there. But calling it "just software" is trivializing it in my opinion. I can write software, but I cannot write software that writes software.
"It's powerful, and it's amazing, but it's not magic"
But since its creators and as of my knowledge everyone else totally did not see it coming, that you can now give a vague prompt full of spelling errors - and get returned a working program - I would say it is pretty close to magic (as in we don't really understand why it works so good).
I also don't see how you cannot call it AI. Especially since simple chess engines and alike were called AI long ago. So it is not general strong AI and has no consciousness and no mind and is pretty dumb too often - but the general concept - getting from a some vague text to a working program has some connection to intelligence to me.
"I trust my hammer with nails but not screws… does that mean the hammer should generally not be trusted?"
I trust a hammer to be able to hit a nail, without breaking. But if the hammer is old and the wood brittle, I don't trust it anymore.
Using it for anything else (screws) has nothing to do with trust, but using the wrong tool.
"(Stock) market is, by definition, irrational"
I assume this is just your definition?
Is weather irrational, because you cannot calculate it?
Markets and weather are just too complex with too many unknowns to calculate it.
"The agent's understanding of the task becomes a shape you can see at a glance."
Use case is to monitor agents activity.
(Though I disagree, not sure why this comment was flagged? vouched for it)
If you have a big codebase, text diff is not faster to see what was done here and there, then a visual overview. I don't know about this project, but experimented with other tools of this kind and am building one myself. With text diff - you have to parse lots of text and you cannot see on one glance that, oh, these changes are in the rendering, this is DB - and here was done something with the server connection. If done right, I can immediately or very quickly see what was changed - and also decide if the agent (or human) did work in the right spots or gone off track. Now doing this right is not easy, but reading lot's of text is definitely slower then seeing, oh in this area there was a change.
"when there are far quicker and efficient ways of scanning through changes and organizing code with better ergonomics?"
Like what?
Erm, if you have 18 guys to spend on training, you also have some empty bottles or access to a place where there are more empty bottles.
Whether crazy people are actually crazy enough to literally do what a LLM gave them as a action sequence from movie inspiration - I have no idea. But I doubt it here.
"No one born in the LLM age even knows what I.E means or stands for, as it should be - a horribly designed, poorly working product"
As one of my first jobs involved getting a website to work with IE6 I surely hated it, but when it came out, it seemed to have pushed the web technologies in general.
The problem was not the browser technology, but microsoft abusing it's monopoly to don't give a shit about (open) web standards.
In your doomed reality maybe, but in this reality it was already stopped a couple of times and chances are good, that it will be stopped again - unless people believe all is doomed.
