Thought the same. And also, this whole piece might just be a nicely obfuscated ad for the service in question. Plus the "guardian sales angels" in the comment threads protecting their product: "why, I thought it read really smoothly?" "how sad of you to see only the bad things in life" "need to get outside more?" What has this all become. What have I become.

Yeah, it's creepy, isn't it? I think we will have to have full identification in online forums at some point. I don't know though what could be done against GPT content. Universities don't either by the way. Super crazy.

To you. That's your opinion. Maybe it's mine. But I will never go as far as to state something like my opinion as universially true. You do that. What makes you do that?

Elon bashing is 99% some companies campaign. There is an amount of money involved beyond our wildest imagination. World economy kind of money. You don't read Elon and Tesla content on reddit frontpage with 30k ups on average almost 24/7 without there being companies involved spending heavily.

Exactly my thoughts. It feels like campaign, also in light of many of the responses in here. Has some kind of "look what I made; wow, are you selling?" vibes I'm used to from /r/gifs. The really distressing part is: is this even written by humans? Also the comments in here. The first one to your post, saying some BS about pessismism, while being really condescending. Is it real? Or is it some ad company having their goons let GPT write a witty response that comnes across "likeable yet dismissive". We are no longer able to tell. I'm afraid to loose you all. Where are we going to connect and how can we be sure it's us?

It's what I thought too. Would I be able to tell the difference? That thought really scares me. What if in not so distant future whole threads, comments included, are LLM generated? We are losing touch (ppl like you and me), and I feel it coming. That is not the first article on the web, that I quit reading in disgust, thinking 'FUCK, what if I'm reading GPT4 babble right now?' We will need a way to tell 100%.

I agree! The problem is not with the fact that AI will make a lot of people unemployed, the problem is how we treat people who are unemployed. I love what I do, but I love the fact even more that I don't have to do it to live a good life (or worse: survive). I do it out of pure curiosity or maybe altruism. Maybe even social status, but not for the money.

Can we take a moment and ponder over why the title is censored? Why are we all okay with this? Who are we protecting, who are we trying to deceive? Why is it fine with everyone, that a youtube SNL skit is bleeped out? What THE FUCK has gotten into us? Either use the word, or don't use it. Show the video, or don't show it. We should all stand tall for our (fought for) rights, this isn't the fucking 60s.

She mentions a diet rich in Protein. Even Supplements like Whey Protein Shakes. I wonder how that extra growth fuel contributes to cancer cell growth. At the very instance kf cell division, there is a small chance of the cell going 'rogue', becoming a cancer cell. In all of our bodies, all of the time. Thankfully the chance is pretty slim, but when I train a lot and eat a lot of protein, then I will have a much higher frequency of cell division. It's what I always wonder when I drink my whey protein after workout, being almost 40. Can my body handle all the growth right?

Exactly this. It is by the way one of the main reasons I initially stuck with HN. The lean UI, text based simplicity, efficiently conveying information had me instantly. I would sacrifize styling for speed anytime, everywhere.

And an otherwise sane friend of mine thinks Alexa is dope. I guess it's always a matter of where you draw the line, I for my part, want to be in total control of who gets sent what concerning ALL my devices, and I think this should be my right as a citizen and customer.

Isn't it time to just ditch "Stores" all together? We were way past that concept on the PC for decades, how on earth does it help to introduce it to desktop? Let ppl download there apks from the dev sources directly, and... oh wait... I'm just describing 'installing a program' as it has been for ages. Maybe this will at least help normal users to wake up and wanting to escape their jails. (oh sorry, I forgot, it's for their own good! o7)

As many in here mention, org-mode has a few very good features but is much too complicated to get into. My absolute favorite for self organization is Joplin: - self hosted - markdown - file attachments - cross device - lean interface - encryption

Those are my core must haves, but there is much more which really motivated me getting into Joplin.

oh. my. god. This is about to change... a lot of things. Stop motion by clapping totally has me.

I would argue, that Markdown is not a language at all. Markdown is a nice little touch up to your everyday txt file, that you anyways edit and read in <your favorite text editor here> most of the time. I write in Markdown, because that is the way I like my plain text files organized and well... marked up. And on top of that, in Github or Gitlab everything looks even more tidy and even the code snippets are nicely styled. yaay:)
