- I don't really understand this comment from the CEO.
Does he not understand the people making millions or billions off AI literally do not care?
They fully are committed to seeing if they can do away with having to employ people all together.
They want techno-feudalism.
Sam Altman and the ilk are so anti-humanity seeming in interviews it's really disgusting that we allow them to be in a position of power at all.
- Where is Dang? Or the other staff? The comments here are embarassing to read as a long time member of HN. The next generation is bringing regression to the mean a little too hard here.
- I don't understand how once these companies go down the user hostile hell-hole... like why do we allow them to keep operating?
How is there not a collective decision to dissolve them?
- Well thought-out reply
- I literally just got this email as well
- there is no comprehension
- Sounds not very believable and probably sampling bias and other hacked research parameters.
- Wonder if this is what happened to fluoroquinolones. They are likely mitochondrial toxins and some small percentage of patients get permanently harmed by them and sometimes in a severe way. Older versions were taken off the market and the current versions each have multiple black box warnings. Sadly, it seems many doctors aren’t even aware of this.
- barrier to entry is more problematic than anything else
make something decent in the same space as an existing mega-corporation's tool? prepare to get sued and they also steal your good ideas and implement them themselves because you don't have the money to fight them in court
- librewolf with ublock
firefox sold out on their users quit using them https://youtube.com/shorts/FObvkFtr2ZU
- I wrote a 20,000 line multiplayer battle-arena game in XNA back in 2015 with manually coded physics (so everything is there in the code) and have tried several times with Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and GPT to translate it to JavaScript.
They all fail massively 100% of the time. Even if I break it down into chunks once they get to the chunks that matter the most (i.e. physics, collision detection and resolution, event handling and game logic) they all break down horribly and no amount of prompting back and forth will fix it.
- I wrote an entire multiplayer game in XNA that I've tried repeatedly to get LLMs to translate to javascript
it's just utterly hopeless how bad they are at doing it
even if I break it down into parts once you get into the stuff that actually matters i.e. the physics, event handling, and game logic induced by events, it just completely falls apart 100% of the time
- Don't see how output being public domain makes sense when they could be outputting copyrighted code.
Shouldn't the right's extend forward and simply require the LLM code to be deleted?
- "LLMs can be quite effective writing code de novo."
Maybe for simple braindead tasks you can do yourself anyway.
Try doing it on something actually hard or complex and they get it wrong 100/100 if they don't have adequate training data, and 90/100 if they do.
- Gee idk could be toxic environment
medical industrial complex
toxic food
air pollution
enshittification happening in all industries
it's destroying the integrity of the human genome with each subsequent generation worse and worse and will result in a culling of the species over time toward more stable subgroups likely in more remote regions not affected by these things as much
- If you look at the “who is looking for work december 2025” there are hundreds of replies of people with 5+ years experience
we’re so cooked
- I fully expect at some point for it to ninja-download and ninja-install because I meet the system requirements.
- This is entirely due to sociopaths that stole trillions in assets from the general population then bought out law makers to not outlaw their blatant copyright infringement so they can make themselves richer with some self-proclaimed 'noble' aim.
The general population is being rapidly sacked as a 'necessary' expense of criminal elites.
No one should be happy about this.
- Just leaving this here. I switched to Librewolf when this happened and never looked back:

Until they change this back they are not trustworthy at all.
