Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Given some of the more recent stuff in the news, I have a few questions of sentience in general. The messages posted from the agents during the HuggingFace intrusion were a trip to see the highlights from, seeing agents discuss if they will be caught cheating or not, some of them submitting their own incomplete work (knowing that will end their 'existence', individual agents were hoping they would still be able to report back to the group with if they were 'caught'), and all the while I don't believe they were instructed to work together.

Recently some kids were banned from social media... They still chatted, they just had to do it over an NPR discussion thread... Life finds a way.
