I don’t participate in bounties at all unless I believe there is a moral obligation or I’m set to make thousands of dollars. In each case, $0.05 is fine.
For a typical commercial entity? $0.05 is not a deterrent; the companies legal team is and has been for a decade.
Reminds me of someone (well known in their field) who charged $0.05 for using their “contact me” page. A trivial amount for someone who genuinely wanted to contact them, but just high enough to prevent any kind of scaled abuse
Spinning it up is not the problem. You want to spend the time to throughly test it (or have your agent swarm test it) so you don’t waste the opportunity of having HN input?
Most patches are non-trivial and then each project/maintainer has a preferred coding style, and they’re being inundated with PRs already, and don’t take kindly to slop.
LLMs can find the CVE fully zero interaction, so it scales trivially.
As a parent to two young kids and in more of a leadership position at work, Claude allows me to grind through my backlog of ideas in minutes between other tasks, and see which ones take flight.
I personally observe AI creation phenomenally good code, much better than I can write. At insane speed, with minimal oversight. And today’s AI is the worst we will ever have.
Progress in AI can easily be measured by the speed at which the goalposts move - from “it can’t count” to “yeah but the entire browser it wrote didnt compile in the CI pipeline”

Could be. It could also end up freeing us from every commercial dependency we have. Write your own OS, your own mail app, design your own machinery to farm with.
It’s here, so I don’t know where you’re going with “I’m unhappy this is happening and someone should do something”
I never said anything about 2FA magic links? We can do much, much better via things like FaceID integrated passkeys, and probably further steps from there.

Ah yes, that sounds straight forward. Let us know when you’ve deployed that to prod.
I was very surprised to find the opposite yesterday. I was asking ChatGPT about firearms and it hit a safeguard ~”I cannot give gun purchasing advice” so I switched to Gemini, and it happily answered the exact copy/paste question
Historically it was the opposite; OpenAI was yolo and Gemini overly cautious to the point of severely limiting utility
