| ▲ | mghackerlady an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Are you telling me hacker news isn't just for advertising vibe coded slop services as a get rich quick scheme? Impossible, why did claude put it in my marketing.md then? (/s in case it isn't obvious) | |
| ▲ | bigyabai 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | HN isn't reddit, for better and for worse. This is the "Orange Site" that gave us Sam Altman, defends monopolies and shits out thousands of net-negative SaaS startups that leech off Open Source software. Manufacture of depression is one of YC's byproducts that everyone loves to ignore while berating Flock and 9 Mothers like they spontaneously popped into existence. Your peers on this website are not principled, fun-loving Freenode/Libera geeks. HN is the Linkdin of underground social networking. |

| There are so many projects that come up here that have the tag line of "This is such a stupid idea that I just had to do it!". We can do things just for the fun of it. Woz made the Apple computer basically as a toy, nothing more. And that's cool. |

| Are you useful? |

| ▲ | fragmede 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | That's the scary part about AI and the transformation it'll have on society. The answer to that question for all of us, soon enough, will be no, not useful enough vs an AI. Then what happens? | | |
