  • New(ish) Baldur Bjarnason - a fairly politically charged one at that, going into the US hegemony powering the current tech industry (and the AI bubble by extension), and how the Hormuz crisis is all-but guaranteed to topple the whole thing.

  • Google is forcibly installing Gemini Nano onto every Chrome installation without the user's knowledge, and actively re-installing it if the user deletes it. Probably an attempt to juice the numbers.

  • At some point, Anthropic puts up its prices so much the companies try to go back to brain coders. They hand these actual human coders a toxic waste dump of AI slop code that is literally incomprehensible to humans and can’t be fixed in less time than it would take to start over. This does not end well.

    Given the slop bots have been actively destroying their users' coding abilities for the past 2-3 years, finding someone capable of unfucking their codebases will be a bit of a challenge.

  • Picking red guarantees your survival by endangering everyone else, making it morally fucked, but risk-free. Picking blue puts your life at risk, but saves everyone's ass if it pays off, making it the more moral option overall. Picking blue also requires you to put some trust in your fellow man, so I'd have probably picked red if I didn't know how the Twitter poll came out.

    Someone else on the orange site claimed the experiment would end with only red-pushers left if it went for multiple rounds. Adding my two cents, the outcome would depend on how the first round goes - if red wins round 1, voting blue looks like suicide, shifting the calculus in red's favour, and if blue wins round 1, you have reason to trust everyone will continue voting blue, making it a lot less risky and shifting the moral calculus in blue's favour.

  • The optics is that his actions would paint EA in a bad light.

    I think SBF's Scamfest Spectacular did a good enough job of that already :P

    HN is more focused on the idea that Altman and co. are fomenting class hatred and the attack is more akin to Luigi Mangione’s attack on a health insurance CEO.

    Altman and co's antics have repeatedly shafted the working class to billionaires' direct benefit, so I'll give the orange site that on the "fomenting class hatred" part. Thinking his actions are any way related to Luigi Mangione nailing the healthcare billionaire's fucking wild, though
