Help pump AVGO by tipping sentiment and creating a visualization of billions getting dumped into Broadcom.

Don’t worry, all employees were morally good people, who chose to stay and make millions from the harm to children they supposedly were resisting.

It’s not like meta was a charity. There was a lot of money being made by every one knowing the harm they were doing.


Just to add another data point, my AMD laptop was as the poster above described, unreliable drivers, glitches and crashes.

Personally I’ll never buy AMD again.


Anthropic takes every chance they make not only to behave suspicious and anti-consumer but also announce that they are acting in ways that hurt you while telling you it’s a feature.

Fable returning wrong answers if it suspects the topic is sensative is the ultimate icing on the huge cake of lies and gaslighting they’ve been baking the past 6 months.


It's the nature of the safetyist position. It creates everything that it claims to avoid (duplicitous behavior, misaligned outputs, unresponsive systems).

I haven't seen leadership this bad since the late 90's. I'm pretty sure at this point that Claude could run the company better than Dario.

> Fable returning wrong answers if it suspects the topic is sensative

Citation, please? On the original release they downgraded models silently to Opus 4.8 when they suspected it was being used for LLM development, but they stopped doing that. Now when you hit one of the guardrail subjects it downgrades to Opus 4.8 visibly in all cases.

I've never seen anything suggesting they're deliberately returning wrong answers. Maybe you're thinking of Gemini's anti-distillation tech?


Those Restaurant “dishwashers” are sanatizers. A dishwasher is a person in a restaurant. They are the ones removing and getting the dish clean.

Dishwashers? How dare you. We preferred to be called “Sanitation Engineers - Dishwashing Division” Even had bossman put it on our paystub (he was so tolerant of us kids. I think he was just happy that we were into buffoonery and not meth).

Engineer? Wow, that’s high falutin. Sanitation Technician is as high as I got.

Sure it wasn't Sanitation Team Lead?

Dishwasher? I hardly know her!

Did this actually happen? That's pretty wholesome lmao.

It was definitely one of the more tame activities at work. We would golf rotten potatoes into the field behind the restaurant. Play Celery Generals with traffic, make Concoctions and get the waitresses to test and rate them, and we had an entire WWF wrestling league (that was exclusively judged by the entrance strut and banter; there was never any actual wrestling). Sometimes we’d make new pizza recipes and present them to the kitchen staff of the pizza shop next door. Their contribution to the bit was to act incredibly Italian in their wholesale rejection of our pie. Sometimes we’d even do work.

How did they turn down your Black Olive and Pineapple Pizza? Asking for a friend.

Yeah but if it’s a person seeing inside my home I would rather it be the same person over and over and without cameras.

Teleoperated robots are a better fit for businesses and public spaces


Hey I totally agree I do not want a teleoperator looking into my house, it’s just so deliciously tempting to get in home on policy data. Not sure the reason why they are super interested in home environments vs business or public spaces.

These low effort constant comments about style or formatting are against Hackernews guidelines for discussions and something needs to be done to clean up the comment section. Getting to a ridiculous point

If comments about how "this blog post could have been a link to this github repo" are in-bounds, so are comments about how "this could have been a link to a LLM session." HN has always tried to work out if a submission is novel and interesting work or is just a slick coat of paint on mundane work (sometimes if good work is obscured by insufficiently clever presentation). Highlighting that content was generated by an LLM and asking if that impacts how to understand it is entirely in keeping with our culture and standards.

It's not about style or formatting, people are tired of reading slop.

These comments are worse than the slop.

They aren't actually. They make me feel like I'm not going crazy - that I'm not the only person noticing that the quality of the average article on hacker news has dropped off a cliff in the last 6 months. Links from different people with different cultures, life experiences, and languages have the same tone of voice, the same sentence structure, and the same breathless, boring, staccato yet arrhythmic, emotive yet soulless style.

I hope everyone keeps pointing it out. Even better, change the site guidelines to make AI generated articles a flaggable offense. It's already been done for comments.


Hear hear. I can't believe people are content to consume slop like this.

Tbh this is cooler than anything on your github so he (edit: she) can do what he wants IMO

In Brazil they have a little pad they leave on the table next to the napkins

This is exactly the first thing I thought of considering the influence of Germany in Brazil culture especially in the south like Curitiba.

at dim sum, you stack up the little empty plates.

> we wouldn't be sitting here wondering why the CEO of Budweiser isn't advocating for temperance

But we would start to wonder if the CEO of Budweiser started advocating binge drinking.
