Every one of these posts and most of the comments on them could be written by an LLM. Nobody says anything new. Nobody has any original thoughts. People make incredibly broad statements and make fundamental attribution errors.

In fact, most LLMs would do a better job than most commenters on HN.

You're absolutely right!

You aren’t reading carefully, are you?

And in that moment, blackqueeriroh was enlightened. Come, let us transcend this plane and go "touch grass".

I swear most of the comments on posts like these are no more original than an LLM, and often less so.

Almost like it's been the exact same debate for two years and it's not worth spamming tech forums about on either side.

No. We need to light all IP law on fire. You shouldn’t able to license or patent software.

What about novels? Nonfiction books? Scientific papers? Poems? Those things are all in the training data too.

What anti-malware would have stopped this, exactly?

It seems most anti-malware is the equivalent of the TSA - security theatre that wastes your time and attention, catching plenty of water bottles but not the real stuff.

Claude didn’t simply “proceed to download a driver update off a completely random website and told me to execute it”

You had to disable permissions or approve some of that.

Why will you be destitute? Consider this: how do billionaires make most of their money?

I’ll answer you: people buy their stuff.

What happens if nobody has jobs? Oh, that’s right! Nobody’s buying stuff.

Then what happens? Oh yeah! Billionaires get poorer.

There’s a very rational, self-interested reason sama has been running UBI pilots and Elon is also talking about UBI - the only way they keep more money flowing into their pockets is if the largest number of people have disposable income.

Nice, so all of us legacy humans can be kept around as pets on a fixed income for the master race of billionaires and their AI army.

because in all of this change we can’t be bothered to imagine a world where people have money without jobs? Do you think billionaires are just going to want to stop making more money?

The best bull case for us reaching luxury gay space communism is that people not working and having near infinite capital to buy whatever they want to enjoy is the only way the billionaires get to see their pot growing forever.

We can imagine it all we want, and a free pony too. What we'll get is most of humanity not needed, and living in the edges of society, plus some 10-20 percent still "useful".

Billionaires are about power. The money was just a means for that, if they can get it in another way, they will use that. People "not working and having near infinite capital to buy whatever they want to enjoy" is the last thing they'll want.

No we’ve actually never seen that in iPhones. There is zero proof of this.

So you are not familiar with the system architecture. Okay.
