What kind of political / economic system would make user privacy a priority? I'm guessing not finance capital neoliberalism...

prepare for war, western man!

So happy humans will be able to stop using their brains soon due to AI !

A little sugar is fine. Alot of it kills you.

Maybe this is propaganda and you are being told what to think.

Of course AI isn’t going to be a good thing for the majority of humans at all. But it’s very important to manage sentiment within tech audiences.

Do we need it

Why are they like this?

Precision targeting should or could yield less but what’s happened is more like what you do to a windows 98 machine every year or two

Believing that misallocation of capital means that we are living in a post scarcity society is a very techno optimist way of looking at things.

HN is unbelievably apolitical, apart from it's baseline tendency towards the left and whatever silicon valley demands people believe.

If you were anywhere near a post scarcity society (applies to USA) you wouldn't be hurtling towards national sovereign debt default at a rate of knots, and you wouldn't have the most expensive healthcare in the world.

As it happens, what appears to be a "post scarcity society" is just pathological misallocation of capital due to a political failure (that shaln't be spoken of here) that has the entire west circling the bowl at the moment.

Sure. Millions of people in the third world use crypto for payments. There's also Polymarket, very much recognized within the mainstream. And generally, crypto will continue to spawn new digital infrastructures in a sovereign space.

Either way it’s headed off the rails. Sloppification of everything, followed by eventual machine takeover.
