And it’s too soon to have these norms. Employers today are willing to part with them at the hint of the slimmest efficiency gains, you’ll waste time. So I think the correct response today is wait for it to settle. Norms will form on their own.
It threatens because we aren’t just talking about selling your art. Artists get hired at companies to produce all kinds of work that will now be replaced by AI.
Artists get hired at companies because companies have the technology that made the artists work profitable, starting from book printing (public performance -> book printing -> cinema -> tv -> internet, similar to drawing -> photo -> digital). At the Public Performance / Drawing Era artists were mostly poor low class rogues. The technology made them what they are now.
They are protesting against natural technology development. To me it looks similar to taxi drivers protesting against Uber (protecting their right to scam tourists).
Did drawing artists protest against photography? Do celebrities protest against photographers selling their photos taken by them in public places?
They are right to be afraid though. What's really happening here most probably is Anthorpic buys rights to collect user trajectory data. In order to replace Blender users later.
Over editing is one of the biggest tells of junior engineers. Often, a very big task is reduced to a 1 line change if you spend the time to understand the core problem.
I feel like this was one of the most valuable skills an engineer could learn, as it protects the integrity of the system by making minimum viable changes.
If you need to refactor something, it should be clear that that is the task.
I think HN is the crowd that values MVPs. And LLMs are the best tool to quickly materialize an idea. So I think we should judge these submissions on merit and not on our collective rejection of reality. If they succeed I’m sure (or hope) their user facing app won’t remain vibe coded.
Yep, the hubris of techno-maximalism and absolutely zero worker rights history. Clowning on liberal arts classes when maybe one or two of those would have been a good supplement...
The interesting thing is this: no matter who they hire (because certainly they’ve already been hiring the best), will make a bank Mythos proof. It likely won’t even make it regular attacker proof.
The reason banks aren’t being hacked daily is a mix of physical and digital access controls, and processes, as well as the real threat of the FBI knocking on your door. It is not because the systems are hard to hack.
But now, they panic because some company told them their systems were not 100% secure? And how will they solve this? My making it 99.99% secure with a $10B yearly Mythos subscription?
I would just settle for not leaking any more s3 buckets. Start there.
