Earlier than Product Hunt? That's amazing. It must have helped a lot of people. Developing a product really requires a platform for promotion

Yeah PH launched a few years after us :)

I still like using gitignore very much

Do you still know the Art of War by Sun Tzu?

Everyone is familiar with different things. As long as you can complete your work with the programming language you are familiar with, that's fine. As for which language to learn, it depends on personal interest

I visited it and it looks quite simple in style

This website is designed very beautifully and is very comfortable to browse. It's the style I like

Entering the AI era, it's hard to tell the authenticity of things on the Internet. But sometimes, having a conversation with AI is not a big deal as long as we can gain something from it

This is a crazy world. Everyone should stay away from war

If your neighbor decides not to, the only way for you to stay away from the war is to have weapons to kill them before they get to you...

(Of course, the best solution to an aggressive neighbor is to have so many weapons that they know they would die if they attacked, so they don't even try.)

It only starts to be a problem is when your government starts using those weapons in wars of aggression. Among Western democracies, only the US comes to mind...

> It only starts to be a problem is when your government starts using those weapons in wars of aggression. Among Western democracies, only the US comes to mind...

Israel (which Germany is providing weapons to) does nothing but attack its neighbors. A good portion of the imperialist aggression coming from the US is also done on Israel's behalf. Germany is certainly complicit in this.

Did you really read documents about the history? Your wording suggests 'no'.

Which documents? The Balfour Declaration? History about Nakba? Civilian kill stats?

Unfortunately that's the default state of the world. The comparatively peaceful post WW2 period was the weird thing.

We killed millions in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't think you can call it peaceful, more that "the west" exported its violence outside the borders of Europe and the US.

Good luck staying away from war when someone else decides to attack you.

Who can resist the temptation of profit? One always has to make money

If I say “Doing X is a last resort” and then I’m caught doing X, it should raise some eyebrows about my level of desperation.

It’s not that OpenAI is trying to raise revenues that bothers me, it’s how they are doing things that said was desperate just a couple years ago.

> Desperation

You’re right on the core of the issue. I think there has been some temporal stripping of context: that ‘last resort’ needs to be considered against their alternatives.

OpenAI isn’t a business scaling a popular website to profitability, that’s Reddit or Slashdot. OpenAI was promising revolutionary product technology that was breathlessly close to AGI and would eliminate positions and automate coding and, and, and…

Having your next-gen AGI do-it-all platform mature into hoping to recreate the business model of Reddit should raise eyebrows, and let everyone know about the state of The Emperors wardrobe.

They could be building an Office killer and consumer oriented OS’s & ecosystem for near infinite money… they are running ads. Ads for porn and dick pills? Not yet, that’d be another last resort.

Tons of people can resist the temptation, but they aren't likely to be the sort of person that gets put in a role like where Altman is

What you said makes a lot of sense. Free software should not be confused with open source
