How do you know this? Not disagreeing, just curious.

The links have been posted to HN if you search.

https://moltroad.com/ comes to mind. The "top rated" on there describes itself as "trading in neural contraband".

That's in addition to all of the actual hijacking hacks that have been going on.

I'm not saying any of this is successful, but people are certainly trying.

I am officially at the age where I'm unable to "get with the times". What am I looking at with moltroad.com?

This just looks like a slop website full of auto-generated garbage. “Neural contraband” is meaningless

The problem is FUD. Some guy at a company gets told he has to wait for legal to approve some open source project or initiative that happens to use JS in the name, because his boss heard there’s a trademark issue, and the enthusiasm fades and the idea gets sidelined. There’s probably been thousands of tiny little instances of FUD like that, which we’d never hear about, and which have led to good things not happening.

One clear instance of FUD we do know about is the spec itself is not titled with the name of the language it specifies, which is then its own source of confusion for newcomers trying to learn the web platform, and makes it harder for old timers to explain things, and is generally annoying. Complexity. Confusion. Doubt. Inaction.

Removing legal FUD from the world is a good cause. I don’t mind if it also works as a good marketing play for Deno.

This! I dont think people realize how many people fold like this. Almost nothing actually gets litigated. Litigation is a huge risk and very expensive. The profit incentive at companies means this fight is almost never worth it and its just easier to fold and use a competitor's technology.

They thought of that and called the spec ECMAScript instead.

Because it’s written in vanilla JS.

Camouflage in what sense?

in the sense that the supposed topic of the blog is not what it actually is about. it's about the emotion that it's selling.

just like the OP blog

Had same issue until I disconnected from Tailscale, in case that helps anyone.

They seem to be actively working on vertical tabs for Chromium right now: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/q/message:+vertical...

Based on what evidence?

The article goes into the history.

Here's an article I found recently:

"Quantifying Aphantasia through drawing: Those without visual imagery show deficits in object but not spatial memory" https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7856239/

True. But it feels like a fairer comparison would be with a huge healthcare company that failed to vet one of its therapists properly, so a crazy pro-suicide therapist slipped through the net. Would we petition to shut down the whole company for this rare event? I suppose it would depend on whether the company could demonstrate what it is doing to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Maybe you shouldn't shut down OpenAI over this. But each instance of a particular ChatGPT model is the same as all the others. This is like a company that has a magical superhuman therapist that can see a million patients a day. If they're found to be encouraging suicide, then they need to be stopped from providing therapy. The fact that this is the company's only source of revenue might mean that the company has to shut down over this, but that's just a consequence of putting all your eggs in one basket.

It's not an em-dash, it's an en-dash, which is rare in LLM output. Also just stop being insufferable.
