why does chatGPT passing tests or interviews continue to make headlines?

all they're proving is that tests, and interviews, are bullshit constructs that merely attempt to evaluate someone's ability to retain and regurgitate information

what's your alternative?

> captcha can be solved using cheap services

call it what it is - you're using slave labor in a 3rd world country to solve rudimentary puzzles for you

nice work to whomever archived it in time... the significance of the internet archive is going to grow and grow as the bigots, sleezeballs, and grifters continue to multiply

and yes, i was playing league of legends while typing this monunmental reply

> a lot of the pro-reclining comments were definitely indifferent how their actions impacted others

last 2+ years are all you need to realize this is a depressingly consistent theme across civilization today

this is fucked up

manufacturing content from the voices/faces of prominent people that have died is no bueno

fuck podcast.ai

> to be a useful browser for a lot of power-users

fair, but in that case they should be showcasing their security and privacy focused initiatives, and their source of angel funding...

otherwise how will it be anything other than spyware crap that funds itself by selling your data??

no group of power users will flock to a new browser without any transparency on the above

am i taking crazy pills?

> Arc, which has been in an invite-only beta for more than a year, is trying to rethink the whole browser UI

no one is ever going to dethrone chrome unless they start selling hardware filled with their crapware at a loss solely to suck ppl into the ecosystem and/or start giving away laptops as fast as possible for the same reasons

&

no one is ever going to compete with firefox or brave on UI alone, because the ppl that have the wherewithal to move away from the edge and chrome apps that are thrust upon them with every hardware purchase, care more about if your shit is secure and privacy respecting than if your 'tabs are on the left' :|

> he thinks browsers are due for a reinvention — and why he thinks a startup is the best place to do it

ah yes, a loss-leading category of software is best done at cash-strapped startups... wonder where the revenue will come from

exactly what he's getting... menchies in the press and general attention lol

aside from that, he might try to leverage this to appeal to MAGAs for some political play in the future too - the 'white lives matter' shirt shenanigans is further evidence of his desperation for attention & desire to appeal to a certain demographic

then they'll have to raise taxes to offset the reduction in CIA and DEA revenues... i meannnnn, "budgets"

so, yeah, omegalulz at those clowns but how is this offhand twitter comment worthy of a thread on HN?

scary? did you just wake from a 15 year coma?

you store anything in a big-corp cloud, which you haven't personally encrypted, with keys that only you possess, then assume it's all backed up in fed repos (somewhat hyperbolic, especially for non-crims, but not far fetched by any means)

that's neither new, nor news (sadly)

american gov writing about human rights abuses around the world makes me laugh so hard my balls hurt. Thx for the links

I continue to hope that people will vote with their wallets and kill this garbage... but then I remember, look at the current state of 'smart TVs' or even the dying industry of residential printer ... adware bloated fake-limited trash

Govs at a UN-level need to kill this shit... but sadly, capitalism is a core tenant of most UN members, and these scummy tactics generate revenue... so.... I've used a lot of words to 'fuck. we're fucked.'
