I was asking myself the same question this morning and kind of came to the same conclusion as you. It makes much more sense to design a automated drone piloting system built with a decision-making algorithm than use a LLM. For Mass surveillance, I can see a bit more the use case, where you can use classical methods to process the information about a specific person but use the LLM to generate summaries or synthesize it when you have information that is not too organized or comes from different sources.
I definitely think there is some overconfidence on the side of the decision makers in the government on what these tools can be used for. Also maybe some wishful thinking on what LLMs will be able to do in a few years?

And NetBSD is missing support for an order of magnitude more SoCs. I like NetBSD. I've run it on several systems in the past, and not just as a toy. I like the whole BSD family, and even deploy FreeBSD in production at work, and use OpenBSD on my home router. But NetBSD's claim as the most portable OS doesn't hold up these days.

They are different kinds of unlocked! Unlocked generally just means "can be used with any carrier". For example this Samsung S22 I am on is "unlocked".

But Samsung hasn't allowed unlocking the bootloader on their phones for many years. And they are far far from the only ones in that state.

You basically have to research each specific phone far ahead of time. And beware! Because there's, for example, lots of guides telling you how to unlock my S22 phone. But as of ~2023 Samsung now blocks all those previous exploits that the unlocked software used to use.

It's a mess and a half.

> Retail businesses pay property taxes to support that.

But they don’t?

Copyright infringement is a federal crime - your property taxes don’t fund that. The income tax that we all pay, including the IP holders, do the funding.

Additionally retail theft, at least in my jurisdiction of Massachusetts is prosecuted by the state - my income taxes fund that, not property taxes.

I disagree. A perfect rider is still safer at 20 mph than 60+. There are just unforeseen things that happen, like deer, and the same perfect rider has more time to handle those things at slower speed, and the consequences are less severe.

And this is borne out in the statistics -- there's no reason to believe motorcycle riders are any better or worse than cyclists at bike handling / driving skills, but the motorcyclists certainly die more on average. I suppose if you're an amazing motorcyclists but a shit bicyclist, stick to motorbikes, but that seems pretty far-fetched.

(Safety gear like armored jackets, pants, gloves, and boots -- available to motorcyclists but impractical for cyclists -- certainly helps at the margin. Nevertheless, the stats are worse for motorcycles. I'm not saying don't ride motorcycles -- I have in the past and will again. More speed just doesn't make you safer.)
Show HN: Grok Imagine 2 – A preview of the next-gen Grok AI video ecosystem
by naxtsass | 2026-03-02 16:02:44+00:00
Hi HN,

I’ve been tracking the recent surge in Grok’s AI capabilities. According to the latest search data, "Grok Imagine 1.0" is seeing breakout growth, but there is a massive (+180%) spike in developer interest for the API side, specifically for video.

I built grokimagine2.net to serve as a hub for what’s coming next in the Grok ecosystem. It focuses on the transition from image generation to high-fidelity video (which is currently the #1 trending topic in the niche).

I'd love to get your thoughts on:

The feasibility of Grok’s video model compared to Sora 2 or LTX.

What you’d like to see in a "Version 2.0" API for these types of generative models.

Open to feedback on the UI and the data!

And it's usually never true. The services are running but the logins aren't.

While I'm perfectly capable of working without it, it feels like I'd be wasting my own time if I did any work.

My co-worker who's a sysadmin and has just been getting into building his own tools for 2 weeks, is now spamming the chat "Claude is down" - just like /newest

It's an odd thing that this site has notices because if you care, then you already know. And if you don't care, then you don't care.

Sure, that’s an interface that’s better for many users and use-cases.

However, it seems better if you could, as much as is possible, move the AI stuff from runtime to “compile time.”

Instead of having the AI do everything all the time, have AI configure your Zapier (or whatever) on your behalf. That way you can (ideally) get the best of both worlds: the reliability and predictability of classical software, combined with the fuzzy interface of LLMs.

> It also feels like people are automating things that don't really need to be automated at all (do you really need to be reminded to make coffee?)

I've posted about this before, I call it the Jarvis effect.

> For years we had people trying to make voice agents, like Iron Man's Jarvis, a thing. You had people super bought into the idea that if you could talk to your computer and say "Jarvis, book me a flight from New York to Hawaii" and it would just do it just like the movies, that was the future, that was sci-fi, it was awesome.

> But it turns out that voice sucks as a user interface. The only time people use voice controls is when they can't use other controls, i.e. while driving. Nobody is voluntarily booking a flight with their Alexa. There's a reason every society on the planet shifted from primarily phone calls to texting once the technology was available!

By and large the reason people love Openclaw is that it feels cool and futuristic. You have an AGENT! It's DOING THINGS! Yes it's doing things you could have easily done yourself, but you're not doing them yourself, you have an AGENT! It's all very silly, the same way that having your lights controlled by your phone is very silly, but some people like it.

That being said there a real use case for Openclaw, which is "marketing" (aka spam). A ton of people have set up Openclaw agents which exist to post on Twitter/Facebook/Discord/any open public user discussion forum (yes, HN included) to seem like a real member of a community, then start advertising something, generally crypto. So we can thank Openclaw for dead internet accelerationism.

The counter argument to that is what happened with horses. Since domestication every advance of human civilization lead to having more horses. Until cars were invented and improved - which eliminated overnight 90% of the number of horses used.

So the fact that in the past new technologies have created new jobs is not a guarantee that AI will create new jobs.

On top of that have a look what happened say during the industrial revolution in Britain. You'd have a village with 2000 workers producing clothes or materials to make clothes. A rich guy opens a factory in that village that employees 200 people and produces more than the whole village before that. 90% are unemployed, the 10% that work in factory have far worse working conditions. Studying graves from that time shows the height of people went down during the industrial revolution - as the conditions in the factories were far worse than what they had before. Hence the luddite movement - but as the reach people owned the mass media, the luddites were portrayed as crazy. Eventually, many years later, new better jobs did appear.

The whole notion of smartphones is designed for intrusive user surveillance, from the regulatory side to the hardware itself to the software designed for it.

We need tablet computers that don't have hostile hardware like cameras and mics and sensor suites that can be remotely controlled, under proprietary firmware, completely out of owner control.

We need radio hardware and software that is entirely under owner control, with protocols and standards based connection controls; the notion that spectrum and cellular make network connectivity magically necessary to put under the draconian gatekeeping and surveillance of cellular carriers is flaming dumpster garbage.

The carriers are a primary threat vector. The hardware is a primary threat vector. The software is a primary threat vector.

There is absolutely no way to fix the current cellular phone security status quo, every single facet is designed to be leaky and allow "good guys" backdoored access "for the right reasons" and so on, whether it's "user experience telemetry" or "we have a warrant".

Running bog standard linux with sensible security defaults and a good softphone over an internet connection would be fine. There's nothing magical about phones or UX or wtfever this month's marketing rationalization is.

Handheld tablet computers with optional hardware, or even modular hardware, are going to be the future. The current paradigm of parasitic cellular carriers, invasive governmental regulatory bodies working on behalf of all sorts of corrupt interests, and complicit hardware manufacturers are 100% all in on milking consumers for every last unearned penny or intercepted PII they can get their grubby hands on.

It doesn’t make sense from a national security perspective actually.

A better plan would be to encourage skilled immigration and offer compelling benefits and stability like family visas, free movement, and so on. That way, the best people would make their contributions to science and society here. It’s actually a masterstroke because it deprives other countries of their best people.

The current administration is filled with weak men and therefore chose policies that look “strong” but are actually rooted in personal insecurity

This was also my observation after growing up in New England and then moving to Denver, Colorado. People were much more open to conversation than I was previously used to which felt like a breath of fresh air. I realized people in New England seemingly default to a “defensive” interaction mode when conversed with without a pre-shared common ground, such as a task or moment. Its quite apparent when visiting family back east.

If you are going to break the law under capitalism, you must do it sustainably. Facebook, Apple, et al have shown that the latency of judicial pipeline usually means a billion dollar in fines comes after several billion in profits. You profit from the lag between the crime and the consequence.

I don't think social justice has that same profit pipeline, but I am not sure. There is an asymmetry in the type of evil our society allows.

The person upthread running $75/week on Sonnet for a team setup nails the highest-value use case — the trick is that a lot of that value lives in the configuration, not just the model. The standup/blocker/GitHub integration they described is the kind of thing that takes weeks of iteration to get right.

My setup is single-user but similar in spirit: one agent (Ember) acts as Chief of Staff — calendar checks, project management, cron-based autonomous work sessions, sub-agent coordination for coding and research. Runs 24/7. She has her own Telegram account, a real working memory system, daily memory files.

The part nobody mentions: that setup has a half-life. The config I ran 6 weeks ago is materially different from what I run today. Model routing changed, two skills broke after a security update, AGENTS.md patterns I copied from a tutorial in December are deprecated. Most people who set this up once and move on are running stale configs without knowing it — especially now with OpenAI resources accelerating OpenClaw's development.

That's what I built Claw Mentor for (launching on ProductHunt tomorrow): subscribe to an expert's OpenClaw config, get plain-English compatibility reports when they update, apply or rollback safely. https://clawmentor.ai

Happy to share more on the Chief of Staff setup — the hardest part wasn't the initial build, it was building the memory and continuity systems that make it feel like a real ongoing relationship rather than a stateless assistant.

The claims were for defamation and incitement:

> A Morton County jury on Wednesday ordered Greenpeace to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to the developer of the Dakota Access Pipeline, finding that the environmental group incited illegal behavior by anti-pipeline protesters and defamed the company.

> The nine-person jury delivered a verdict in favor of Energy Transfer on most counts, awarding more than $660 million in damages to Energy Transfer and Dakota Access LLC.

It seems like the jury did its job on the evidence presented.
