Ask HN: Would a startup for young creatives who reject AI be feasible? 2 by mondobe | 0 comments on Hacker News. I am a member of my university's game development club, which puts me around lots of talented programmers as well as artists of all kinds, and I've observed that just about everyone disapproves of AI. The sentiment is especially strong among younger people coming into the club. By "disapproves", I mean they refuse to allow AI-generated content in games and see AI use in general as something like a moral failure. At the same time, I scroll down the YC startup directory, sorting by launch date, and observe that every non-hardware company (and most of the hardware ones) are entirely based on AI. The demographic I described above, young creatives like the ones in this club, has zero chance of voluntarily using one of these products.

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: Claude Code appends new commit signature even if older settings is off

Tell HN: Claude Code appends new commit signature even if older settings is off 4 by ctxc | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have the automatic "co-authored by" Claude signature turned off for my commits via the config setting. PSA: They've introduced a new "Claude-Session: https://ift.tt/Ebrk94h" line that's appended to the commit now though, on by default. Annoying, feels scummy (of all things, ironic I know)
