I think a social norm of disclosing AI use at all times would be great. People and companies should also be held 100% accountable for anything created using AI.

I wish HN had a title tag for AI-generated posts, like it used to have for PDF’s and still does for year-of-publication.

I think the GPT3 or 4 minute mile moment for robotics will be when we see a robotic hand with the dexterity of a 6 year old. Once that happens it will quickly be over.

We've been building a turn key police state for the past 25 years.

This has been my experience with every sports of weightlifting injury I've had and I'm in my 40s. The body wants to heal or at least compensate in some way. Light activity is often better than rest. I've got a knee that is acting up a little bit but I think I've figured out how to keep it healthy while running.

Why publish anything for free on the internet if it's going to be scanned into some corporation's machine for their free use? I know artists who have stopped putting anything online. I imagine some programmers are questioning whether or not to continue with open source work too.

Sounds like philosophers will be the new programmers if playing around with language and definitions is all that will be left.

Sure, if writing code is applied math, deciding what needs to be written is applied philosophy. I don’t think we give ourselves enough credit for applied philosophy.

Reading this I feel the same sense of dread I get watching those highly choreographed Chinese holiday drone shows.

I update a spreadsheet twice a year which takes about 15 minutes. Tracking investments day to day isn't healthy imo.

I agree, generally. But there is always a bit of a nuance when it comes to personal finance. I have gone through the full cycle, I started off with logging every single transaction, then syncing everything and tracking monthly cash flow, investment dashboards and then to yearly syncs and now I barely think about it.

What happened was I slowly built an awareness of how things are going, where my spending and savings are and internalised a few things. For example, as a contractor I responsible for my taxes, so 30% of my invoice goes into a savings account as soon as I get paid. But, that wouldn’t have happened right away for me, if I have never done the monthly cash flow.

I think everyone goes through this journey. Because I often see people super into accounting for a couple of years and then completely abandon it later in life. Looking at it daily in early stages help get a feel and set expectations for the long term. Some people get sidetracked here and the phrase “Beat the market” grates on me for that reason.

I do a similar thing on the investment side. I did play with this app to see if it would give me anything that my spreadsheet doesn’t, but I’m not really seeing it

On the spending/budgeting side, I could see the use of day-to-day tracking. I import my credit card transactions into gnucash weekly - if I didn’t already have a good workflow set up I could see the use of something like this to help keep on top of things.

That's kind of just a brag about being wealthy though, isn't it? For many people who are trying to get escape velocity to being financially secure, tracking spending + investments is a necessary reality.

No one is saying it's healthy but if you have debt, can't save or don't have investments on track to meet your future needs then what's more unhealthy, monitoring or lower living standards?

I am only talking about investments. You'll stress yourself out and might make bad decisions if you frequently look at your stock portfolio. Tracking spending isn't a bad idea if you're trying to save or struggling to save.

Gatekeeping and exclusion are going to have to make a comeback if we want to have a thriving culture again. Sometimes people need to be told their art, taste, or morals are lacking.

I'm not paying attention to humanoid robots until they show the hand dexterity of a 10 year old.
