LLMs themselves most definitely will not do that. You can still learn how to make a barrel, but not many people do.. The real fear is the destruction/hiding of public data/resources (which has already been happening for years)

I always find it so interesting how little the topic of Californian independence comes up online. You would think there would at least be a decent amount of organic content around that, never mind external interference.

AI does enable new capabilities when it comes to constant mass surveillance, and automated weaponry.

Its already being used in warfare though.

That's true but in reality I think people are far more afraid of AI in terms of how it is being used in warfare and policing. Automatic target detection and deployment of drones, or even how it might simply make their role at work redundant etc

I'm seeing some hate for SOLID in these comments and I am a little surprised. While I don't think it should ever be used religiously, I would much rather work on a team that understood the principles than one that didn't.

yeah, i had intended to allow that but it just felt messy when i considered strategies for syncing the espresso logs from from non-account users to when they do finally sign in. I'll probably eventually get around to it as I do agree it is a little annoying to be forced to login but for now its just a "magic link" sign in and there is a button in settings where you can delete your account pretty easily.

I've moved to pCloud for photos and I've found it to be a good alternative. One frustrating thing is that if you are cycling through your photos on the default pcloud app, they are usually slow to render which can be frustrating. Playing music on the app is also a little frustrating. It works, but it it's not an amazing UX. Other than that I am completely content with pCloud though, and I would recommend it.

One other thing to be made aware of is that the macOS ecosystem seems to be a little hostile towards pCloud and it seems to be fighting a never ending battle in order to the get the remote drive functioning reliably there. It works, but it can be a little annoying at times.

great idea, but seems a little futile if there is no protection agains llms training on HN comments. ironically, if HN can succefully prevent llm content, it will become one of the best sources available for training data

Its good PR. He had some pretty bad PR recently that caused a lot of people to boycott the service. I assume this is him trying to regain trust or something?
