This sounds like a big whataboutism, or at least oversimplification. The opposite of individualistic society could be western socialism.

> Religious out groups, ethnic out groups, cultural out groups.

Yeah, unfortunately seen this on all corners of the political spectrum, hidden or not.

Sure people worry regardless. If it’s not A it’s B. Im talking about societies for example that ignore homeless and poverty, vs societies that have social welfare systems at the expense of high tax rates.

> The truth is all of us treat our fellow humans this way.

Nah, I think it is more common of a cultural thing in individualistic societies. I know plenty of people who are worried about the future outlook of others they have never met. For example what phones and social media is doing to our children, or the state of the economy for young people.

Right? I’m not buying it. Seems like personal PR post.

Why care so much about so little operating costs when your earning so much?

> They could use AGPL or GPL3, typically those licenses are verboten in hyperscalers.

Laws are only as good as their enforcement, in business at least. Unfortunately I have seen first hand that no one cares about licensing if they can’t get caught.

Businesses licenses are good because you can offer support and other benefits to encourage payment.

I’m sorry. Why are we talking about Black neighbourhoods?

Feel like we are trying to put the author in a bad (racist or classists?) light so we do not have to address the real issues touched on by the article.

Because its failure rate is too high. Beyond boilerplate code and CRUD apps, if I let AI run freely on the projects I maintain, I spend more time fixing its changes than if I just did it myself. It hallucinates functionally, it designs itself into corners, it does not follow my instructions, it writes too much code for simple features.

It’s fine at replacing what stack overflow did nearly a decade ago, but that isn’t really an improvement from my baseline.

I agree, I don’t like it as much as you do. I’m just saying nothing short of a mandated TPM will actually enforce this. I think they know that.

I think this is mostly for show to stay relevant wrt. What is happening in the courts. This is the Same play as it always been for registration “are you over the age of 13?”

Does not require verification, no biggie, this is essentially a parental control system.

> More than 9 million paying business users rely on ChatGPT for work

That’s a stretch. Sure many business _use_ OpenAI, but that does not an operational necessity. Especially given the competition.

I also think it is often momentum from “do you have a GitHub” questions you see in hiring.

There are many people who code to make cool stuff and enjoy sharing, but there is even more people who code to look good on CV.

I’m not trying to be mean, this is just an anecdote I had from my time hiring.

Is that not already the case on mainstream social media? HN even has bots.

Can it defeat captchas?

Could another mitigation be polluting identities online with fake ones so that real identities become hard to sift out.

For example if I tell my bot to clone me 100x times on all my platforms, all with different facts or attributes, suddenly the real me becomes a lot harder to select. Or any attribute of mine at all becomes harder to corroborate.

I hate to use this reference, but like the citadel from Rick and Morty.

It’s at best a staged pr stunt, at worst a pump and dump scheme.

Money is probably going circular, it’s not real.

This feels like a big PR stunt. Published by a ai tech bro, highly ambiguous, hard to verify, where’s the money going? Sounds great as a headline.

Edit: Just looked into timeline, it does not add up.

Same question, this is not the first time I’ve seen random 's.

I think it’s a bot, look at the post history with the weird repetitive hyphens.

Not everything has to be symmetrical. I’m sure there is a name for that logical fallacy.
