That’s really exciting!

There is something uncanny about the bandwidth and quality of all the artifacts coming from this mission. I've subsisted on photos from the Apollo missions and artistic renditions for so long tha…

> Obtuse and repetitive debates is what HN comments are for. :) Fair

This is a great point. I wish we started from this.

There's plenty of other comments saying this. It isn't that I don't understand, and need a clever metaphor. But to run with your metaphor, can we, maybe, just ignore the quacking since …

I'm getting so exhausted of the "slop" accusation on new project launches. There are legit criticisms of EmDash in the parent comment that are overshadowed by the implication it was AI …

This feels like a great example of a project that wouldn't exist if not for AI coding.

I am not Nick, but there's a few ways that world happens: the free tier goes away and what people pay for more correctly reflects what they use, this all becomes cheap enough that it doesn't…

Ok, I'm following you. You're saying because labor gets cheaper it will be harder to make a living providing labor. Not disagreeing, but I wonder how much weight to give this argument. Histo…

Fair, though I don’t see how AI is really changing the equation here

This is so disingenuous. You literally clipped the full sentence that changes the context significantly. > "Once I’ve proven to myself that rendering was feasible, I used Claude to create an a…

I'm not sure if people will be more hosed than before. Historically, what makes people with capital able to turn things into more capital is its ability to buy someone's time and labor. Know…

> I've always said this but AI will win a fields medal before being able to manage a McDonald's. I love this and have a corollary saying: the last job to be automated will be QA. This wav…

I don't think the issue at hand is a technical challenge. It's merely a sign, imo, that usage has surged due to AI. To your point, this is a solvable scaling problem. My worry is for the bus…

I think you're directionally correct, but this stuff still has to live somewhere, whether the repo is code or prompts. GitHub is actually pretty well-positioned to evolve into whatever is next. I…

Already enough comments about base rate fallacy, so instead I'll say I'm worried for the future of GitHub. Its business is underpinned by pre-AI assumptions about usage that, based on its re…

This feels like the only sane response. It's undoubtedly a useful idea for the mechanic. How it performs and if it can improve remains to be seen. This is such a rorschach test for AI pessimism a…

Is there something you don't like about the substance of my comments? Or is this just name calling? Is this not Hacker News? Aren't AI dev stacks supposed to be interesting to developers? Sa…

I've been using gstack for the last few days, and will probably keep it in my skill toolkit. There's a lot of things I like. It maps closely to skills I've made for myself. First, I app…

I agree. I think it's interesting that, even if AI handles the conversation effectively, we're still repulsed. I'm curious what will happen once AI generated text gets good enough that …

I agree with you. No one wants this. But the internet has had slop long before AI. It's in the same class as clickbait. AI just made it worse and given the slop a distinct flavor. You can be furi…

It's been pretty amusing seeing the total upvotes for my comment go up and down. I wasn't expecting it to be so controversial. Reading and responding to many of the replies, I think many peo…

You're reading too much into my words if you think I'm suggesting we should take it in stride. I think we should accept that trying to enforce social norms is a waste of time as that will on…

I absolutely agree with this. We did not tell bot operators to "do better" like this manifesto is trying to do, which is my whole point.

Touche

Even before AI, the human social internet was loaded with bots and disingenuous actors. You want the imperfect human internet that is also pristine and curated. I've been socializing on the inter…

I think you will find you will get farther by offloading this unpleasantness to an AI and open sourcing it rather than teaching etiquette to the internet, a place not known for its decency.

I think it is reasonable, yes, but I don’t think it’s ever been reasonable to expect reasonableness on the internet. We have a difficult enough time showing each other decency.

Yet how are the alternative ways of thinking about it better? Spending your time angry about what others can do? In any era, that’s a poor life philosophy. The problem is the same as it has always bee…
