No it isn't

That would be fine if people had symmetric information and strong education

Anything less is exploitation

Consider all the side effects.

Now children cannot form solidarity and exit abusive situations as easily. They are not exposed to diverse viewpoints or cultures. They cannot embarrass themselves and learn online social etiquette. They cannot engage with much of the online culture at all really.

It's sinister and patronizing, born from fear and ignorance, nothing else.

So stop those tech companies from exploiting people

We're about to own goal because... what... because suddenly everyone ran out of ideas? Because suddenly it's too much work?

But it wasn't too much work to build the torment nexus?

There are plenty of jobs outside of software development.

What they are saying is true. It just might take a lot of work to get the ball moving.

I can agree with you while still agreeing with parent poster that it's basically "git gud"-tier bullying.

Very very few orators can successfully pull off "just fix your problems bro" as anything beyond a generic kick in the pants for the people presently predispositioned to be motivated by one.

I regularly bully my close friends into being better people. It just so happens that I fell down the staircase of life much earlier than a lot of people do. I had to do most of my “midlife crisis” thinking in my early 20s because most of my family died and I had to come out as gay without any support.

Is this a crypto thing?

You have a deep misunderstanding of American civil unrest.

didn't realize proving i'm human was part of the HN experience but here we are ：）

there is a new general aversion to em dashes, as well as sentences like "and maybe that feeling is worth taking seriously on its own terms, separate from whether the numbers back it up." which sound llm generated.

No issue in using LLMs for polishing writing but when the tone is impacted in this way, I can understand peoples aversion to it. Especially on hackernews, where i guess people speak with LLMs a lot more than other people, and are able to even subconsciosly pick up on these cues.

I think it's more like:

The dude was incompetent, was able to launder their incompetence through a humunculus, and now is afraid of being caught.

Oh hey it’s me.
