It’s a well-worn trope in science fiction. We see it in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. It’s the premise of the Terminator series, in which Skynet triggers a nuclear holocaust to stop scientists from shutting it down. Those sci-fi roots go deep. AI doomerism, the idea that this technology—specifically its hypothetical upgrades, artificial general intelligence and super-intelligence—will crash civilizations, even kill us all, is now riding another wave.

Writing with LLM is not a shame

Writing with LLM is not a shame. An essay about transparency on AI use. tl;dr: For people who are curious about AI, you rapidly detect people who are using it not correctly (for those who use AI “smartly” or correctly, it’s more complicated to detect it). I’m pretty sure you already saw tons of ai-written posts on social media. For me, I started to notice this in January 2024. At this moment, I was shocked of seeing all these ai-written articles or comments and I decided to disclaim my AI uses

Build Log: Macintosh Classic

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-04 18:14:26

Continuing the retro computer series, I've recently completed the first part of a restoration of my Aunt's old Macintosh Classic. This Classic was handed to me alongside my Uncle Mark's Apple II, which I'll probably cover later (we've played a game of whack-a-mole with issues on that machine! Well worth it but I haven't hit a point where enough things are working to cover it well, heh). The Classic is a strange Mac—it was introduced in 1990 as a budget version of the 1986 Macintosh Plus, with

Bank Fires Workers in Favor of AI Chatbot, Rehires Them After Chatbot Is Terrible at the Job

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-05 16:40:04

Companies all over the world are currently racing to shrink their workforces and replace them with AI. Often, it seems, this isn’t working out for the firms involved. Case in point: A bank in Australia recently did so, but then had to ask its workers to come back after it turned out that the chatbot that it had launched to replace them couldn’t cut the mustard. Last month, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia announced that it would be laying off 45 customer service workers as it rolled out a new

Trump Mobile is promoting its smartphone with terribly edited photos of other brands' products

Since it was announced in June, Trump Mobile has committed to an increasingly-surreal smoke-and-mirrors approach to its promised T1 smartphone. Despite the initial claims that the phone would be made in the United States, it seemed highly unlikely from the start that it was accurate. The "Made in USA" claims were quietly removed from the Trump Mobile website at a later date. AppleInsider spotted the latest bizarre wrinkle to this story, which is that the actual phone still does not exist. The p

In Brief Google will pay $30 million to settle a class action lawsuit claiming it violated children’s privacy on YouTube, per Reuters. The lawsuit alleges that Google collected data from children watching YouTube videos; while this kind of data collection has become common, it remains illegal to collect data from children under the age of 13, per the longstanding COPPA legislation.
