No, it's not odd; IMO. It's by design.

I see all of this leading to a setup for: We did cure Cancer, everyone else (Healthcare, Gov., Rx) etc... has just not caught up or even worse; "you just don't have access top that model/version".

I have seen several times on HN recently how people don't see the impact of AI/more code etc... and I believe this is because its following the K-shape of the current economy.

At the top where most of us aren't but CAN see via stock market news etc...; they are making more money by adding efficiencies etc...

At the bottom; efficiencies are being applied at a scale that they could not before such that social and Gov. programs are more manageable and optimized at scale.


This is valid.

1. each one is a first-party vendor announcement, submitted very close to the announcement and under the vendors headline.

2. Titles are "verbatim" vendor headlines. No editorializing which follows HN guidelines to the letter.

3. Someone; a script/agent is watching vendor feeds and X accounts then submitting within minutes of the posting.

4. Altman/Navier–Stokes post got [duped] so prob not inside thing.


High frequency karma farming.

You aren't serious about high-frequency karma ("HFK") unless you colocate your equipment with the routing for your sources so you can beat your HFK competition to a submission by at least 200ms.

We will have reached HFK-ception when the bots are fighting to be the first to submit "How I used AI to build a High-Frequency Karma Farming Bot on Hacker News."


Then a week later: "Paul Graham announces a 100000$/month high priority access plan to the HackerNews via YC API." :)

YC already announced something along these lines.

Oh my... I should be more careful in my predictions :)

Their scraper is physically really close to the internet building!

I was just about to ask this, glad I searched first. I am wondering if there is some kind of "BookFace" control that allows for priority such as this.

Edit: 16 total post and I have seen 5 in the top 10 on HN already.

Edit: No comments, only submissions; this should be a clear sig of some kind IMO.


So you cant control the agents you have, and now they will be sponsored so at least they make money off the chaos?

Was quality ever the norm? IIRC Enshittification predates AI/LLMS by a few years.

No, this is a NOW problem, not a future one and it will take months if not years to fully understand the impact. We need a NOW solution not prevention. Training AI on all the images and data here will facilitate a class of identity theft we may not have ever seen. This cannot just be abut prevention.

Literally said this below, 2 comments flagged and 1 in the neg. Its really sad that we are not allowed to point out the obvious common element here.

Its not that surprising that ex Israel intelligence would want to control AI and that 3 companies headed by pro Israel CEO's would support them.


We really need a better board for talking about this stuff on.

I sent an email to dang about the problem of people flagging comments just because they disagree. I think he's unaware that it is such a severe problem. I've been collecting a list of example comments to send him.

I think if an account is frequently flagging comments which get vouched by others, that is a red flag for ideological flagging and they need to have their flagging ability reviewed.


It should be changed so flagged comments are still viewable, just hidden. This would somewhat counteract the disagreement flagging. Maybe show who flagged too.

Flagging shouldn't be a thing at all. If you like a comment, vote it up. If you dislike a comment then vote it down. Any functionality beyond that is pointless

I understand what you mean but you can’t allow complete anarchy.

and your evidence is?

There’s been a lot of time and effort and money put in to siloing away independent forums so that you don’t use them.

Someone go ahead and explain to me the actual rationale that RDDT has a higher P/E ratio than Nvidia. It’s not because of some dumb “ai training deal”. It’s because until they run it into the ground, it is the place to find what used to exist in forums.


> Someone go ahead and explain to me the actual rationale that RDDT has a higher P/E ratio than Nvidia.

Investors in RDDT are pricing more growth than they are into NVDA. NVDA had a high P/E until their net income grew ($4B and change to $72.2B in from FY 2023 to FY 2025 and over $100B for FY 2026)


Uh huh.

Pretending that any of this is some traditional idea of investor sentiment is such a last decade way line of argument. Please don’t insult us both pretending real people and their motivations are what drive the markets.


Some of it is due to the explosion in options trading and the resultant hedging by market makers, but large institutions still have valuation models based on fundamentals that they trade on.

It’s entirely possible that the market is wrong about RDDTs future growth, and in that case the P/E will come back down to earth.


fwiw HN has some involvement of those interested in speaking hard truths about israeli power dynamics: https://www.timesofisrael.com/snippy-twitter-exchange-expose...

"12 years ago PG tweeted something" is an extremely low impact data point.


Heh sorry, I didn't realize I'd grabbed on from so long ago. You're right. But just saying someone who doesn't tow the line with Israel laid a big part of setting out the culture of a whole network, and continues to role-model his declining to tow the line

Invite? email on profile.

> They did not "cause AI to hack.

You do not know what they did or didn't do, you are just parroting a narritive that makes you feel comfortable.

I do not know either, but I am not asserting facts as if I have first hand knowledge of the details.


The details don't matter. If you use a machine to commit murder, then you have committed murder, not the machine. The user is responsible, and the article's phrasing is an attempt to obscure that fact.

First, I agree with you in theory.

Second, empirically; the diff between murder, manslaughter etc... is literally "intent" so it matters.


tl;dr - HITL

I think that AI should enhance said proxy.

For example: I have Crohn's so crohns.ai has the entire AGA [gastro.org] and each member is an agent that can participate in my program / protocol.

Same for MNT and dietmanager.com

this is NOT a promo, its a model I am trying to prove; AI can enhance the support that domain experts provide if we remove the barriers.

It's really a matter of AI-native Governance and how we handle that.


I thought it was me, I literally think there are things that should no longer be acceptable and this font is one of them. It serves no purpose and I would like to ask medical professionals if it is potentially harmful.

Edit: While fuzzy or blurry text itself is highly unlikely to trigger an epileptic seizure it is a major cause of optical strain, headaches, and reading barriers across various accessibility needs. Given the amount of screen time we all incur in our daily lives, I do not see why this should be a "thing".


You guys are saying this on a website which puts light grey text on light grey background.

My site shows black with yellow background and white text boxes. Highly visible. Maybe you're referring to dead comments? There are options to hide those.

I'm sorry, what is your username again? I can't read it, because it's tiny light grey text on a light grey background.

Controversy shouldn't give me cataracts either.


and tiny buttons

And I got reprimanded by some rando pretending to be a mod for my previous comment. What is actually going on here?

It hurt for me too. I stopped reading it because it gave me a serious headache.
