It’s becoming more insane to me how all these hn comments keep buying this fugazi.
It’s all pretrained: the model, the tools, the feedback loop.
All of it runs on infrastructure it does not control.
How can you call something autonomous when it can’t survive losing API keys?
And the capability frontier is fixed. It can’t modify its own architecture, weights, or training data. It can rewrite code inside the box, but it can’t change the box.
As with every other fugazi, there’s no agency.
Without control over substrate, governance, and learning mechanisms, there is no path to open-ended growth or persistence. Technically, it’s bounded automation with language-driven planning.
Useful, maybe, but not a new class of intelligence
The fact that this was from 2018 and people were saying the same thing about the stock market as what people are saying today, gives me conviction that it’s best to just not worry about it and just buy stocks and start making money.
Indeed. Timing a bear market is a waste of effort. Just look at historical returns: more often than not the stock market will be at all-time highs. This has been going on for over a century.
Dollar cost averaging (investing the same percentage of every paycheck) is the winning strategy over the medium and long run.
people can't have discussions because mr ChrisArchitect says "dupe". not everyone sits here 24hrs/7days per week and can track all the occurrences of same news topics - not even submissions from same url. what this user does isn't normal and it should look for help in real life.
Several users have particular aspects of HN they pay a lot of attention to. It doesn't warrant personal attacks or the use of snarky epithets. We often find it helpful when they alert things to us, but we don't always accept the action they advocate. It's no big deal. If you think any of their comments are in breach of the guidelines, you can flag them and if others do the same, their comments may be killed. Or if they're not breaking the guidelines but you disagree with their comment, you can just downvote and/or reply explaning why you think they're wrong.
