As long I doesn't shove "shorts" or "other people watched" in the result list, it's an improvement. Sometimes the results are so egregious and completely unrelated to the search terms that I feel like youtube wants to piss me off on purpose. I don't want to be searching some quantum physics video and get videos of some barely clothed women in Miami, I fail to see how it is related...

Enshittification is the reason

strange downvotes, not only these services allow anyone with money to copy their competitors if they use the same services, but on the long run, Anthropic could very well be the competition, trained on corporations that use Claude. Why would this startup be any different from Google or Microsoft on the long run? People can't seem to learn their lesson.

People are very naive about how technology companies operate.

And you believe them?

Yes. That's the rational position.

> Everybody. Do you have some statistics ?

This is false, overwhelmingly MALES. For a time, males couldn't leave Ukraine, while females could. Those who go to die on the front in all wars are mostly males. Doesn't mean that females aren't casualties as well, they are.


I don't even need to read that article, I just can ask Claude how could I be more productive with Claude.

You'd be getting practically the same result. If someone is too lazy to write their own commit messages they're definitely too lazy to write this blog post manually.

Fantastic write-up, that's exactly why I came to HN many years ago, to find such articles about mundane things or products, but the technical aspect is just fascinating.

> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

That ship has sailed a long time ago, with the approval of the moderation itself.


That's excellent modbait, but of course what you say is the opposite of what we approve.

It's is a complex and hard question, but the principles we apply to it have been around for a long time and are consistent with the site guidelines. If they weren't, we'd change the latter.

I've explained all of this many times. If you, or anyone, would like to know how we approach the question, you could start here:

I simply disagree, you know what topics I flagged, I'm not trying to bait you or any other moderator, and will discuss the matter no further.


Yup, since around 2016 HN and other tech spaces got infested with people who cannot separate their political ideology from technical discussions.

When it comes to FOSS they claim that FOSS has always been political to justify the politicization of everything they touch.

Things used to be much better when the people adhered to the age-old wisdom "Keep politics and religion out of the office" and carried this attitude to neutral spaces online.

In part, some of us got into tech because it was one of the places where meritocracy ruled and you could get away from those who thrive by overwhelming others with BS.

I apologize for the rant.


Being “apolitical” is a luxury of the privileged, especially in turbulent times.

True tests of courage, morals, and ethics are occurring more and more every day now, especially in the tech industry that is so closely intertwined with the regimes across the world who seek to cause great harm to those who do not look like, speak like, or believe in the same things as them.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" - there’s your quote for political apathy.


> they don't know how to use than the tools themselves.

No, the tools work perfectly as they were design to work. The problem is that the tools are flawed.

Ultimately, every single of these decisions should be approved by a human, which should be responsible for the fuck up no matter what the consequences are.

> _Some_ of the blame lies on the UX here. It must.

No, the blame lies with the person or the group who approve the usage of these tools, without understanding their shortcomings.


I miss the days of earlier AI image-recognition software that would emit a confidence percentage.

New LLM-related AIs are all supremely confident in every assertion, no matter how wrong.


I don’t know what tool they used, but it was very likely not an LLM. They probably have some database of drivers’ licenses and they ran a similarity search against the surveillance footage. This poor lady happened to be the top match.

Even if it also output a score, that score depends on how the model was trained. And the cops might ignore it anyways.


>> are the tools built in such a way as to deceive the user into a false sense of trust or certainty? _Some_ of the blame lies on the UX here. It must.

> No, the blame lies with the person or the group who approve the usage of these tools, without understanding their shortcomings.

The person who approved the tools might've understood, but that doesn't mean the user understands. _Some_ of the reason why the user doesn't understand the shortcomings of the tool might be because of misleading UX.


Aren't these companies mandating the use of these tools at first place? Juniors aren't the problem.


Yet another example of vibe coding at scale. You'll have to hire a lot of seniors out of retirement to fix that mess of gigantic proportions... and don't blame "the juniors" for that, they didn't make the decision to allow those tools at first place.


A lot of juniors only graduated using these tools. Good luck taking it away from them.


Juniors don't set up these policies or even chose the tools they have to use professionally. If the higher ups are panicking it's fully of their own doing.
