is tech reddit dying?
>>106965375No, of course not. I just posted an article titled "I travelled to Uganda and taught school kids how to run a LLM locally, here's ten reasons why Uganda is the frontrunner in AI technology" and I got hundreds of comments praising me.
>>106965375No. Go read a thread from 20 years ago and it's exactly the same except PG occasionally personally shows up to say something.You just grew out of it. Congrats.
Don't you mean orange slashdot?
>>106965493idk how you could grow out of it, unless youre like an active participant. but its always just going to be an aggregate for 'tech' articles and articles 'hackers' might enjoy.so, it's going to be valuable and interesting forever.unless of course, of course of course, youre wanting to give up tech altogether, then you should fuck off from this board pussy
>>106965493in the past no one dared to post reddit memes
everyone on that site is a commie antifa faggot, i'd never waste my time there
>>106965375yeah, it's gagging up on all the AI hypers, literally noone normal is buying that anymore, yet they keep trying, more astroturfed than leddit at this point
>>106965580sometimes they even have self-awareness
>>106965596All this proves is that the schizophrenia that's shat up this site is affecting other sites as well.
>>106965375Its pretty bad... I get all my tech news from twitter now
>>106965646nah, it's a rare shoutout win, calling shills shills is against their fucking rules kek, so the astroturfing is blossoming (look at the careful wording)
>>106965429This is really inspiring! But I've noticed the blacks in your content farm are working 15% under the open source industry average. Here is the link to our startups gitbhub, an SAS implementation to whip niggers on the blockchain.
>>106965735>everyone with a positive opinion on anything I personally dislike is a SHILLLike I said: schizophrenia.
>>106965884no retard, go and try to call out another: 'omg claude has made me x10' post a shill, you'll get censored and banned right away, you literally cannot call out shills, which is why the guy starts his post with: I'm not saying this is a shill post, but...
>>106965375Its full of trannies and commies grfiting
>>106965912>more schizoposting
>>106966038>anyone who calls out AI astroturfing central is schizo
>>106965912read the fucking guidelines>Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email XXX and we'll look at the data.
>>106966058>everyone with a positive opinion on anything is a shll/ai/astroturfingYou tourists would see someone talk about how they like drinking filtered water out of stainless steel because it tastes good and cry about them (for hundreds of posts) calling them "shills" for whatever filter or cup they're using.
>>106966083>>106966094>read the fucking guidelinesniggers, go back to your shill platform
>>106965375No. But I am. Cancer.
>>106966094>anyone who is skeptical of a post that serves no purpose other than being an advertisement that adblock can't block is schizophrenic
>>106966058do you even read orange reddit?it doesn't drink the ai kool-aid.
>>106966134>>106966110>having a positive opinion on ANYTHING is an advertisementI'm drinking coffee out of a stainless steel mug right now, and it tastes pretty good.>REEE FUCKING SHILL ADVERTISING COFFEE REEEEEEEEEHave you considered acting like a legitimate human being instead of a mentally ill spaz?
>>106966184yeah, that's why the most commented/updooted posts over there are all the latest and greatest codex/claude/chatgpt announcements, full to the brim with: omg, this is so much better than xyz I used before, we agi naoin the random threads that are not shill targeted yeah you get plenty of normal ppl sharing their disappointment after reading all those ads, but the most prominent/commented on posts are full astroturf
>>106965375People are very mean over there. Real life is hard enough, I don’t want to argue more in HN. It’s depressing.
>>106966217just fucking look how the AI hypers are promoted there, you get tptacek (anti-pgp shill) and simonw all the time updooted to the tops, simonw is the pelican riding a bicycle guy that is now invited by openai on stage, totally trustworthy (he even claims he doesn't get hallucinations (he just calls them mistakes kek)) and no conflict of interest there, both working on their ai hyped VC funded startups, every now and then you get a normal thread there with people stating the facts as everyone knows them, waste 5h on setting up CLAUDE.md and 15 other .md files and the latest and greatest AI still ignores half of it and fucks up or fakes the rest
>>106966296>just look at Nothing different from the hourly aislop hypers all over this site and board that you seem to be perfectly fine with.
>>106966330here they get called shills and niggers and they disappear instantly, there you cannot even call them out as it's against guidelines, again, the only guy that managed to call out the shill>>106965596had to do a fucking: I'm not saying you guys are full of shit... dance
>>106966342>doubling down on lying
>>106965375I have great respect for highly confident posters who clearly knows what they're talking about like pic rel, rest of the site is shit tho
>>106966349thread link?
>>106965429nice
>>106965978So is your head.
>>106966388triggered the resident tranny
>>106966217Is coffee good for you?
>>106966296just fucking look at how the AI doomers are promoted there
>>106966449yay most comments 257 2 months ago, latest claude or codex shill thread 700+
>>106966358here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42522086these are pretty interesting too:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41063143https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42522333https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41822054
>>106966486very latest openai thread about chatgpt atlas is rather negative. no hype.
>>106966296simon has a VC startup? i should invest. hes a legitimate programmer and has immense authority because hes been blogging about it since the beginning. every new release, model, tool, he writes about it. ofc hes invited places, retarded sour grapes. >no no we shouldnt be trying to make a VC startup, that'd be too lucrative and we're afraid of success
>>106966828sora2 was also a bust, same with 5 launch with the chatgpt generated graphs, hell the chatgpt-porno announcement was totally missed, openai cut down on the marketing budget, announced 800mil users gotta be enough for few more trilly
>>106966842yeah nah, someone called him out after he got invited on stage he somehow left out few AIs he tested previously from comparison benchmarks (weirdly enough it was the chineses ones that scored better than chatgpt5 or was it their oss20B kek), he's trying to sound 'objective' but is just a hyper, his 'no hallucinations' is a clear tell
>>106966918inb4 what no hallucinations
>>106966939even fucking orange leddit greyed him kek, hallcuinations in announcement? reeeee
>>106965493I'm honored to say that Paul blocked me on X.
>>106966918>weirdly enough it was the chineses onesthe ones that the US freaked out about and wanted to ban? huh i wonder why he doesnt talk about those>>106966959>random vague terms no one really agreed upon yet>he got the definition that i have about it wrong>reeeeeman, the screenshot just shows how cool of a guy he is. i love simon! no homo!
>>106966959simon is right, those things weren't hallucinations
>>106966980>>106966987sure guise, screwed gpt5 prepared graphs>crap design decision by a human beinghe literally hasn't seen a single hallucination yetkekeke, noone fucking believes that but you go shills
>>106967005i dont even know what the big deal is if he (simon) is a shill, he's like a scientist shill. he makes CLI programs. webdev interfaces/tools you can use. he developed some successful software beforehand. the things he writes about are sourced and you can replicate them (science) and see if you found the same results, etc. if he's a shill then his target audience is eating good, i want more shills to be like him.
>>106967063>guy with skin in the game is telling you how x10 every iteration of the same product is, he should be x1000 by now, oh wait
>>106967063As a proper AI grifter all his product is... a cli frontend for AI to help you buy and spend more tokens
>>106965375I'm relatively new there (~5 years) and I've noticed that the comments have become increasingly more formulaic and following the same speech patterns. They've always had that semi-corpo/silicon valley startup wording and cadence but it's been far worse and more widespread in the last 2 years. I'm convinced a big proportion of the comments are LLM generated, so it's fallen to the same plague as every other internet forum out there.
>>106967005well i agree that gpt5 is crap and gives a lot of incorrect info, but i don't see it make things up much anymore. it is definitely wrong a lot tho
>>106967112>not a single hallucination bro, buy buy buy
>>106967098i don't read HN much anymore, but i see that in my normal communication now. i honestly can't believe how undignifed you can be to use an LLM to communicate in like slack or in DMs. i can see it for some formal email, sure. but god
>>106967096its silly but then again would you be able to uh raise a million bucks from making a CLI? the less LOC the better. hate the game not the playa, etc. he did actual tech stuff beforehand, like i said, so it's one of the reasons i even care discussing him. hes not some grifter that popped outta nowhere imo
>>106965375USAID money is drying up.good riddance.
>>106967129he could be linus or rms before, who cares, he's a grifter now. remember the MS flex with github copilot working on issues in the open on github, how many laffs were had as ppl were seeing how much time it took to review by senior devs every single PR attempt (muh macos version >6 means it's ios) and reproooompting endlessly, without much fanfare it's no longer in the public now kek, that was over a year ago, surely internally all work is done by the agicopilot 2.0 now and they just forgot to open it to the public
>>106966828>very latest openai thread about chatgpt atlas is rather negativetrue. its just good discussion. better than here.
>>106967170lol it was only half a year ago, still the SOTA
>>106967202kek, gem, this is my average usage too
>>106967258>come up with exercisesyeah, this is like 2-4h per week saved, whether the exercises are like 20 sauce packets menus doesn't matter, no time to exercise anyway>envision sponsorship modelsthere are just too many models to envision yourself, you might skip some>create decksjust like creating barebones powerpoint templates, immense value>automate outreachthey allow chatgpt to send emails? or is he using bash and postfix?>do taxesyes I love submitting hallucinated data and be hunted by IRS for it, it was the AI, go away>select a vendoryeah, not giving alexa possibility to order 5$ wrong, surely will select a vendor by AIand on and on... amazing bunch of bs, none of it workable in current state if you ever tried one of these magical things yourself
>>106966220He's right. You don't read it. Just because the most engaged with content currently is the most important tech trend at the time, does not == approval or endorsement. no one that works in the industry can ignore it, so it'll always be relevant and talked about.
>>106967324yeah just like crypto has revolutionized the world of finance, if orange leddit is talking about it = most important tech trend at the time = no one that works in the industry can ignore it
>>106965429Vim would be proud.
that place has become more reddit infested than ever since the electionhalf the new submissions are some sort of orange man bad post from an MSM website with people in the comments complaining dang and the site are fascists because their fag article got flagged
no
>>106965375Nope. Walter Bright won't stop posting in every C, C++, and Rust thread evangelizing D so it will never die. Even after he's dead an AI bot will do it for him.
>>106967665I think a lot of HN users are actually the same social media obsessed nojob dunning-kruger type that infect reddit but more autistic. Also jeets. The site is as big of a larp as /g/.
>>106967665i haven't seen any of that and i browse it every day
>>106965509orange reddit wishes they were as cool as slashdot.
Decent attempt at explaining to a jeet why so many people don't like them coming to the US.
>>106969335And then there's people like this, who push for commissars in tech.
