Glad someone is pointing this out here on this community. I keep reading about people "solving" the problem of LLMs outputting too much code that's hard to review by not doing human review at all!

Exactly, sometimes when reading Hacker News I get the impression this thing is a cult. Luckily there's still some dissident voice around to keep it interesting

Thanks for the reference, this explains a lot of bad interactions I had in my jobs along the years.

You have to understand the president position is extremely weak, since he’s a centrist posing as left wing, there’s a lot of scrutiny on all his actions and he has very little support in congress, since it’s a very conservative country politically dominated by evangelicals and big farmers.

Blocking Facebook would be deeply damaging for him, they would quick him out even before the election

I always said that AI is dangerous not because it's superintelligence will threaten humanity, but because some dumb/lazy people will overestimate it's abilities and use it where they should not.

This is just one more example of it. I'm waiting for even more disastrous ones.

I always said that AI could cause human extinction not by being too smart, but by doing dumb things because some stupid human overestimated its capabilities and used it where it should not.

I’m not sure about this, we already support resizing on our app for a while now because of our iPad/mac catalyst version, so I fail to see how different it would be on the Duo.

I assume other apps will have have the same, since our team is super small compared to everyone else.

The article itself answers the second question.

That Aaron Swartz guy was prosecuted so hard for downloading some academic papers, he killed himself.

Meanwhile, AI companies are free to steal literally any content they want and nothing will ever happens with them.

Ah, this remembers me when I was also young and naive.

Good times when we thought the internet would be great for democracy because knowledge would be easily available for everyone. Fast forward to 2026 and even the leader of terrible communist regime like China is looking better than the shitheads we got on the democratic west..

Therefore it’s only fair that some kind of disclaimer is shown somewhere

> you have to use it at work unless you want to go out the door

Why people are so compelled to gospel about their saviors to others? Why tech became a cult?
