Good one!

"We can say categorically that it is impossible for Dr. Buckmaster’s Codex prompts over the last two months to have influenced the system in any way, including training."

This is the third day of total hysteria that is based on nothing of substance. Move on folks.

Clearly not what he was saying

Fair enough. Hivemind, mass effect, happy to have a replacement word in this case.

I don't believe HN boosts their algo but I think people recognize posters like celebs. I recognize tosh, simonw, etc.

Also it's an easy way to farm karma. The pelican guy posted a pelican, let's upvote it? It's at least a bit of psychosis / mass effect in this.

For what it's worth, I like the pelicans but just making an observation

I think it is fair to expect the companies to stick by their demarcation

API / enterprise subs tier is default opt out of training. Personal subsidized tier is default opt in with the option to to opt out.

I don't see a grand conspiracy beyond this.

He is in the HN ingroup of whenever he posts a blog, a prominent HN mod or poster with 1 billion karma will inevitably post it, and so it goes.

It's sort of like the music industry.

Time to repeat the same angry mob style discussion again. Great job to the mods.

You are just overthinking it. This place is now a Claude blog and anti OpenAI site.

I'm getting downvoted but the accusation was that OAI employees were maligning Tristan Buckmaster. I continue to not see a single sighting of this and whoever is trying to gaslight this should be ashamed and should not be able to vote on HN.

Haven't seen a single post doing this on X or anywhere really from OAI employees. Only seen knives pointed at Sebastian on social media so this is extreme and shameful gaslighting.

Amazing how history rhymes
