So many AI comments. Spamming every post. Backed by AI accounts all with blogs that are less than a year old with 3-6 banal programming projects. WTF man.
No they are absolutely everywhere. Most people here don’t even know what HCF. This article is nonsense and paints it like some euphemism applied to modern coding. HCF was a joke and no actual implementation was proven. Fucking bots.
Author here. I wasn't trying to imply that this is a commonly used phrase nowadays. You can see from the sources I linked, there is definitely history to HCF and even some truth to its phrase. But yes, it was mostly a joke
I’m not sure what you mean by “normies” - non technical people? I don’t know a single person who /loves/ AI. I know some that speculate about potential benefits. I know some that use it begrudgingly. Some that have some anecdotes of it being useful but mostly couched in dread. Almost universal is the feeling that it is being forced on them in ways they do not want. Who loves it?
There's stuff I think if cool but is not really regarded as AI any more like language translation and I find the google lens thing in Chrome very handy - does ocr, finds stuff in images etc. Maybe people will like more the stuff that doesn't get called AI but just does useful things?
I think it is hard to generalise like this. There's a lot of people in the world and we each only know a very small slice of them. I happen to know several people who love AI, I don't feel like have a good grasp of the where the overall sentiment is.
That operates on the idea that hacker organizations use long term strategic thinking, something the US government and a good number of corporations don’t even practice. I wouldn’t put my money on that.
while i am not about to bet the farm on the long-term strategic thinking ability of extortion groups, they are much smaller than most corporations and the US government, thus its much easier to think strategically and execute on longer-term goals.
shinyhunters, for example, has been active and acted as a cohesive unit for the past 7 years.
