> I do miss coding, but it just isn't worth it anymore.

This pretty much sums up my current mood with AI. I also like to think, but it just isn't worth it anymore as a SE at bigCorp. Just ask AI to do it and think for you and the result only has to be "good enough" (=> works, passes tests). Makes sense business wise, but it breaks me, personally.

hn/dangs stance on this: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=paywalls%20by:dang&dateRange=a...

tldr: paywalls are allowed as long as they can be circumvented easily, eg via archive.ph or similar services

> What are Eurosky’s goals?

> In the next 12 months we aim to set up and operate key components in the AT Protocol tech stack: PDS services, relays, and content moderation, in order to ensure that the ecosystem is robust, resilient and with a base in Europe. We also aim to kickstart the development of a suite of social applications that advance democratic and participatory civics, through technical support, access to resources, and collaboration with communities.

> To do that, we aim to raise €5-7 million over the next 12 months, and €15 million in funding by 2028.

€5-7m for operating a BlueSky instance. Great use of european funds right here!

They don't need to instill fear in everyone, but only a critical mass and most importantly _regulators_.

So there will be laws because not everyone can be trusted to host and use this "dangerous", new tech.

And then you have a few "trusted" big tech firms forming an oligopoly of ai, with all of the drawbacks.

My prediction is that YouTube will do the opposite. Completely embrace AI content (mostly short-form) and inject their own generated clips.

Having short form content that captures users without having to pay shares to content creators seems to a believable goal for the service

Slightly OT, but who is HelixGuard?

The website is a mess (broken links, broken UI elements, no about section)

There is no history on webarchive. There is no information outside of this website and their "customers" are crypto exchanges and some japanese payment provider.

This seems a bit fishy to me - or am I too paranoid?

I for one like it to be able to post stuff on my website without the risk of someone sending me pizza or swat teams to my home address...

The source for this is a reddit post from 7 years ago?

Reminder that rasengan, before running vp.net also owned Private Internet Access (PIA) [0] which was also allegedly involved in spreading rumors about ProtonVPN years ago [1].

PIA btw was acquired by Kape/Crossrider: https://cyberinsider.com/private-internet-access-kape-crossr...

So there is a lot of history between the owner of vp.net and proton.
