One reason is that AI can create PRs at a scale that can just overwhelm maintainers not to mention drowning out non-AI PRs.

Why can’t people add a disclaimer when their text was written or edited with AI? That is my completely unrealistic wish for the world today…

We are going to need some proof on cleanliness for art, writing etc. At some point it will become impossible to tell if you are interacting with a bot and that is when the internet dies.

The unavoidable endgame is relying on local (= country level) authentication providers.

So you couple the identify issued by your government to the device or to an online middle man service.

How would that help? I can authenticate my bot or just copy-paste bot output.

That approach would work but doesn't scale well and scaling is the problem that AI brings to the Internet.

Definitely goes back earlier for software. See the Mythical Man Month… Growing a team imposes a communication cost.

This account seems like LLM slop looking at the post history. Who starts every post ‘from Japan’?

I don’t want to interact with hidden chat bots on HN. The irony of this comment about accountability is also frustrating.

They have a post describing themselves as not a programmer, and one as "as engineers". It's got all the hallmarks (lists, "not just but", bolding when you can't). But what really got me was this conversation literally about why they're not AI! It's insanity, and now I'm convinced it's at least a few accounts in tandem, if not more.

Someone else, please, scroll through the account, then read this thread and tell me I'm not crazy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46439821

This sub thread really doesn’t add value to the discussion IMO and isn’t a fit for HN. The only likely outcome is a real human is attacked based on pure speculation. Let the mods decide if a user is breaking any policy regarding AI comment submissions. Litigating it here is cringe.

I would go even further and say AI witch hunts aren't productive, period. In this case where the person writing is ostensibly writing in a second language it's even more silly

Japanese people talk like this.

Merry Christmas hackers!

Sending power outage context to the vehicles does not seem like enough of a response. I hope at least they have internal plans for more. For large, complex systems, you want multiple layers of protections. The response feels way too reactive when they could use this incident to guide improvements across the board.

Maybe I’m just a skeptic, but it seems like a software engineer or SRE familiar with the application should be able to come to the conclusion of load testing fairly easily. For sure not as fast like 80 seconds though which is impressive. As noted you still need an engineer to review the data and complete those proposed action items.

I think the idea is you could still have a page in the UI that shows archived data but you wouldn’t do that normally with a soft delete. The lifecycle thing makes it up front with the user instead of hiding soft delete as an implementation detail.

What was the password length? How many iterations were used?

In Visual Studio if you drag the execution arrow up, it will rewind to that point. It works really well. It’s okay especially useful when you step over a line you wanted to step into instead.
