But I don't think this describes intentionally encoding a different message, rather that different messages are hypothetically possible based on different keys but only one is intentional.
It might be feasible to encode different messages using different ciphers, like one in the text, another using steganography on the decrypted text. IDK. I'm not a cryptographer.
WordPress began as a FOSS replacement of Movable Type after Moving Type 3 made the controversial decision to change its licensing fee for some features. So it was like a Unix/Linux situation.
Yes, you should learn coding if you want to. You should learn anything you want to learn.
I refuse to give my intellect over to the machine just to blindly consume its homogeneous excretions. I will keep doing what I've always done regardless of how well an AI could do it. I don't need to justify doing so, and neither do you, nor does anyone. It's OK to be a human.
The purpose of Show HN is to "show something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread" (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html)
That isn't possible with many AI generated projects because OP didn't write the code, probably doesn't understand the code and can't discuss the code or their process in creating it (because said process doesn't exist.) There is little if anything of substance to discuss or play with to satisfy intellectual curiosity, and in many cases the projects themselves wouldn't pass muster if written by a human, they're just vibe-coded slop.
There have been exceptions which have done well (ex:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49550375) but in that case AI was used in a specific technical context by someone knowledgeable who definitely wasn't "vibe coding" anything. But again - if a human had done all of that work, it would still have been a worthwhile post.
Show HN can't simply be a place where people post slop and everyone claps at how cool the latest models are. It can't simply be advertising for LLMs.
True, thanks for your explanation. I was thinking the same, because I use AI to speed up and I don't accept code unless I know what the code does. Even in YC, I've seen many founders build prototype with AI but again, there's difference between AI slop and AI assisted.
My personal bar for whether a project is AI slop or not (setting aside my personal misgivings about AI in general) is if you could have done it yourself without AI. If not, then the AI is doing all of the heavy lifting and the end result isn't something you made, it's something you had made. Even if you personally find it useful or entertaining, it likely isn't worth posting here.
I agree. Luckily I learnt coding during covid before AI and I experienced how to debug/build through google, stackoverflow etc. Those who are just starting and using AI for everything, they don't know what's called real brainstorming unless AI fails to debug or give expected results.
I assume given the nature of HN that a lot of people use it as a training ground or an experiment, they just do it because they can. Some people may also believe that using an LLM is a more efficient and productive way of interacting with the site, and that it generates higher quality content than they themselves could. I suspect at least one person has tried training an LLM on their own content and posting through it. Maybe they want to farm karma, although I don't know why they would.
Unethically, you'd do it to get a bunch of accounts that you can use to upvote submissions and down vote/flag comments that don't support the narrative you want.
Not all socialism is communism, but all communism is socialism.
