Very likely the same way that targeted advertising is carried out, which most certainly does occur. Also, 4chan has a history with law enforcement, including the FBI, and the military. Moreover multiple studies have been carried out by academia including by the Israeli military in regard to demographics. The point is that an entity like Palantir could be applied to reduce hate speech and violence. Rather than serve an ad it uses AI to generate a post that is humorous yet very curated in an intrusive insidious fashion.


If I ask Grok about anything that occurred this morning, he immediately starts reading and researching in real time. "Summarize what Leavitt said this morning." "Tell me what's new in python 3.14." Etc.. What do you mean by "cutoff", it seems unlikely that Claude is that limited.


"with a family and full-time job".


This is what is currently used in Coke Zero and many other "zero carb" products. It's perfectly healthy.


My blog is private, offline, and only kept on my personal local computer therefore the only way for "people" to read it is according to an illegal criminal way. Moreover, in the US it would be a felony. I'm currently using Hugo.


So you don't have a blog. You have a diary. That's a different thing entirely.


An obvious maxim. However, the full statement is "Privacy empowers YOU, but surveillance weakens YOU." Thus, to the enemy of the people, surveillance is a great weapon. Enemies of the people are typically an elite ruling class. To me, surveillance is generally applied to oppress opportunity, e.g. contemporary cancel culture, bad jacketing, or blacklisting.


It is implied, or goes without saying, that baby loves baby too. A love song wouldn't explicitly state this because it would appear vain and come off as a slight. Thus, the actual consequent is "((x == singer || x == baby) && (singer /= baby))"


I think the presumption is that Musk and the new guard are frugal and careful with money as seen by his passion for DOGE.


But, as also seen with DOGE, they’re careless and refuse to do even cursory research on anything beyond the first-order effects of their actions which, to me at least, seems like a terrible set of traits for being in charge of weaponry.


Musk behaved the EXACT same way when he took over Twitter and wanted to move out of one of the 3 main data centers they used. Actual experts told him it would take a year so he instead impulsively hires basic movers to rip the servers out and was surprised at how many things this broke. He said "I didn't realize how many places that data center was hardcoded". Except people absolutely told him that.


I don’t think he’s particularly frugal. How much money did he blow buying his favorite social network again?

DOGE (and Twitter) are examples of a modern American business management affliction: if you can’t think of anything to create, the next best thing is to start tearing other things down in the name of “efficiency”. Reap the short term benefits and then get out before it collapses.


But DOGE is a sham that's more interested in disrupting the government than frugality.


Only gullible people actually think that. Musk is using DOGE to settle scores and shut down agencies investigating him or regulating his companies or ones he doesn't like.


Thank you for plainly stating the obvious!

It's exhausting repudiating the "good faith arguments" online.

The simple explanation is correct: he's mean, petty, insecure, and greedy, and is using this opportunity to "get even" and "get even richer".


Everything Musk has done in the past few years has proven he is not to be believed or trusted in any way.

He is a destructive moron. He is the gremlin on the wing of the plane. Between Tesla, Twitter, and now the Federal Government he might have fired more people than anyone else in history.


> He is the gremlin on the wing of the plane

This is the scene I keep coming back to! Can you imagine having actually gotten into a space ship bound for Mars with this guy [0] ? He'd be whining that the trip was taking too long, complaining that the ship must be too heavy, and trying to drill speed holes in the hull.

[0] (as we envisioned back when we thought this guy might actually put his own skin in the game like that, before his tragic spiral into social media and ketamine addictions)


Sarcasm doesn't translate well to online comments. See also: Poe's law.


That's a standard pharmacy symbol in Europe. This video has quite a number of Easter eggs in it however.


You are HN if you can explain what the y-combinator is on a whiteboard with ease.
