You can get a used or cheap headset for a similar experience. VR has a couple of games you get bored of pretty quickly :0

been there

We just need basic legislation to make these companies invest more resources into developing guardrails, and if they don't do that properly or can't pull it off, they shall be at an economic disadvantage.

You could hire a legion of people for cheap to commit these crimes, but if its bots, suddenly its unpredictable and just one big whoopsie and therefore perfectly ok to do?

If a human starts pentesting a site its a crime, but if a bot does it its an AGI frontier doomsday scenario and that automatically pushes the consequences off their table?

Whats going to happen next? Are we gonna have robots that happen to physically break into banks to rob them for some reason and the company making them isnt responsible just because?

On top of these unrealistic doomsday prophecies going around lately, every company really has a disdain for its workers and would love to replace them all with bots. What everyone thought will happen, will eventually lead to companies become dependant on these AI companies. They can then jack up the prices as much as they wish, since there is no competition left or rehiring is ever so inflexible. I hope companies see the rug they place themselves on clearly. Notice how its always some fear inducing scenario in the future and this has been going for a couple of years now.

I honestly feel personally attacked by this and I don't consider myself to be an out of touch kung fu master or technologist at all. It is just very odd to read such an inflammatory comment on HN and then have people pretend this is correct and perfectly socially acceptable to say.

Like put your shoes into the person you are arguing against, with some empathy, would you want to be treated this way?

Funny thing coming from a person with such a bio.

You feel attacked? I’m only referring people who are out of touch and lying to themselves. If you’re not doing that then it’s not you.

Unless if you feel it’s referring to you then you’re saying what I said is true. If what I said is true, then it’s not an attack is it? I’m just spitting facts. So don’t get offended, don’t think of it as an attack.

Absolutely correct take. People are so caught up in doing the bidding, they forget what it is all about.

We really have to postpone the IPOs because of security reasons, these LLMs cannot be trusted

I know this is intended as a joke but there is something to it. The public market has a way of elevating profit over everything else, even if you start with the best intentions. Remember “don’t be evil”?

Yes, you have a point here

This actually looks very useful, good work

Eerily accurate how it works these days, I wish you weren't correct. I met a DBA wizard (he looked like the creator of c++) at a banking IT dept and this guy intuitively sensed what you needed and how its done.

Are you load-bearingophobic?

HN is rife with slopphobia.

I'm starting to believe computer work and screens make me lose touch with reality and dissociate. I remember starting an apprenticeship as a dev in 2015 and I saw a guy like me, but 2 years in, with deep eye bags and he just smiled, didnt say anything and he looked extremely exhausted. Well 11 years later and here we are, we are all tethered to this mess

This is why I hope to retire on a farm
