alt Hacker NewsEveryones outraged all the time. It doesn't mean anything anymore. It's that meme from years ago about the red ants and the black ants living in a box peacefully until someone shakes the box and they start trying to kill each other. They go after each other and not the one shaking the box.
OpenAI/Anthropic are shaking the box.

Everyones outraged all the time. It doesn't mean anything anymore.
Everything is sensationalized, every super niche happenstance is sold as earth-shattering drama, the outrage arms race is so tiresome.
You're looking too closely. Whether or not mathematicians are actually outraged makes little difference to how this article plays. Hell, lying would likely INCREASE revenue.
What a bizarre thing to say - is that your attempt to discredit anyone that complains about wrongdoing?
"Everybody's enraged, why don't you like this unethical thing being done to you by a company?"
What's going on here?
I don't understand how that metaphor applies here, you seem to contradict yourself. The mathematicians are mad at openai. If the mathematicians are the black ants and OpenAI is shaking the box, who are the red ants?
