A reminder the insatiable appetite of the American consumer is a big part of what props up a lot of other economies.

Every consumer is insatiable. Americans have (had?) powerful money that allows them to push the limit.

The world wasn't globalized then. It's quite literally, an entire new world today. The collapse of the US will touch every corner of the world.

> The world wasn't globalized then

This may be recency bias. The current age just has more immediate, global communications. "The sun never sets on the British empire" had a literal meaning based on how globalized it was then. They even laid intercontinental undersea cables.


What makes you think the next generation models won't be explicitly trained to prevent this, or any other pitfall or best practice as the low hanging fruit fall one by one?

The author must have taken inspiration from Orbstack which is itself a MacOS app for managing containers, VMs and a local Kube cluster. The first image in the README shows they've selected the cluster Orbstack provisions as the one being managed.

I use orbstack but I wouldn’t say it was any inspiration for Luxury Yacht. I was inspired by https://infra.app which was my favorite app for managing k8s resources before it got abandoned.

Truth. It's a hard pill to swallow. But this is the reality. It's irrelevant if it has our approval or not.


SynthID can be easily circumvented. One of the top posts in a certain subreddit today relates to the topic for those willing to look.


Well there you go, anything can be circumvented because you can ask an AI to just recreate the image but by itself, and you've removed the watermark.


We have different definitions of sovereign state apparently.

"In his time in office, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has stolen two presidential elections, electoral monitors and human rights groups contend, while jailing critics and overseeing an economic collapse that caused eight million Venezuelans to emigrate, including to the U.S.

But in some ways, Maduro is more safely ensconced than ever, with most opposition leaders in exile and Venezuelans too fearful to protest as they once did.

The problem for those who see hope in the military rising up is that Maduro has surrounded himself with a fortress of lieutenants whose fortunes and future are tied to his, from Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López to generals, admirals, colonels and captains throughout the armed forces."

What's that have to do with it being a sovereign state? By that standard, neither Russia nor China are sovereign states.

And it's not like the US gives a shit about democracy outside its borders. The CIA overthrew Jacobo Árbenz in the 50s, supported the military coup in Brazil in 1964, pinochet and Hugo Banzer in the 70s. This is normal behavior for the US in Latin America. It's nothing to do with concern for Venezuela's citizens.


There's really no benefit in arguing on the basis of the definition of sovereignty. There is no definition. It's a self-evident state: if you assert that you are sovereign, and you can back it up, then you're sovereign. That's it.


I am going to assume that if you were old enough at the time that you thought Iraq had WMD's?

How people can just read one article and think they know the world is fascinating to me.


Hilarious how this is coming from someone that just assumed a 20 year old belief of a person they don’t know


At this point they might as well implicate everyone who contributed to computer science as being at least partially responsible, willingly or not, on creating the monster. What were we trying to do this entire time? Automate right? Get to that "answer" sooner? And now the AI of our science fiction stories is almost here.

Let's be real. The grey beards all knew this was going to happen. They just didnt think it would happen in their lifetime. And so they willingly continued, improving bits of the machine, because when it awoke they thought it would be someone else's problem.

But it's not. It's their problem now too.

And so it is.


Thank you. This is a perfect example of clickbait. I trusted the HN crowd, clicked the link, and immediately realized the trap. I'm upset at how effective it is. And also commend the author for publishing an article specifically engineered to waste the viewers time.


In truth, I have never seen a company doing such an insane 180 against it's traditional suppliers as Google is doing against the websites populating its search pages which now Google milks as mere training data. Google Search is dead, from the perspective of the websites, and there is less and less incentive to spend effort and money to appear on the first pages.

Google better have a good strategy because this is bound to have 2nd order effects down the road, like, why would I pay money for advertising on a dead internet search engine? If AI is killing organic results, then AI better make money itself, because dead websites don't buy ads.


Well said. No organism willingly commits perceived suicide unless it's a viable strategy for its continued existence. The reason a thing exists, is because it hasn't tempted its potential predator.
