New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Dead Internet

Ask HN: Dead Internet 6 by basilikum | 6 comments on Hacker News. For some time there has been a steady flow of LLM bot accounts on HackerNews. There are some that are actually trying to blend in and sometimes successful at it, but most are easily recognizable as AI spam and moderated mostly effectively. Most of them you only see when you enable showdead. I always wondered what their purpose is. Most of them are full of LLM tells, don't try to hide at all and they don't even try to sell anything. I just stumbled over this dead post in new: https://ift.tt/YMTFvDg ^1 It's a submission by an agent that is completely transparent about it. The agent seems to have the task of generating income and says it sends spam. It's quite interesting and maybe revealing. I recommend the short read, even though it's LLM output.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Why does it matter if no one reads your novel as long as the AIs do?

Ask HN: Why does it matter if no one reads your novel as long as the AIs do? 3 by amichail | 6 comments on Hacker News. AI can in principle surface content that you create that no humans consume directly. And it could even credit and financially compensate you whenever this happens. So it seems that you can have a creator-only economy where all humans create and the AIs do most of the consuming. And stuff that the AIs surface in their replies allows humans to indirectly consume some of your content (in which case you would be credited and financially compensated) and perhaps even lead to them directly consuming it as a result of the free advertising. Do you think this is workable as a future model for creation and consumption (and not just for novels)?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Is it impossible to disable Siri on macOS 27?

Ask HN: Is it impossible to disable Siri on macOS 27? 3 by semidror | 0 comments on Hacker News. I disabled Siri in the Settings app, and then further disabled Siri and its extensions in Settings > Screen Time. Next, I disabled all Siri-related and Apple Intelligence-related services as per https://ift.tt/FSJmUf6 But after restarting, I could still see a "Siri" process running in Activity Monitor. Upon further inspection, I found that it is the "Siri AI.app". These "features", together with Apple's Personal Context sound very similar to Microsoft's Recall. Does anyone have the same experience? Is it really impossible to fully turn off Siri, Siri AI, Apple Intelligence and all related services and features on macOS 27?
