I use to think this until i got a car with carplay. Now I can’t live without it. In fact wireless carplay was a game changer. You have to experience the convenience to know what it’s like.
I'd like to gently push back because this is a misconception that is worth untangling. It's not that no one is talking about it. It's that there's a genuine silence about the subject.
Threads like these make me realize how wrong people can be. I understand the complexity and can see how misinformed people are. Makes me wonder what happens in other threads where I know little and just take whatever at face value. Eesh.
It took us 12-15 years to get a GC (depends on how you count).
People who fraudulently or illegally come in have had it easier. And I was in the top 1% earner, built things that everyone here on HN has used. I’ve contributed a lot and struggled to get recognized. People don’t know how much of a mess this is. They claim they want smart people to come to the US. The system isn’t setup for it.
It's the Stephen Miller types that instituted a policy that throttled GCs by country of birth, independent of that country's population, as a way to achieve racial bias without explicitly talking about race.
Miller's ilk is ascendant in this administration and their Court has blessed their approach to discrimination.
The number of people commenting who are grossly misinformed yet feel very confident is very very high.
Many comments are calling legitimate facts as “wrong”.
People don’t event know the difference between a visa and a permanent resident status and yet feel compelled to talk about foreign born people coming to America, “non- western” or “non-European” immigrants.
Do better HN audience. This is very disappointing.
Dunnow, reads fine to me, also seems we now have a #nothingisreal problem now where everything is AI. Given that LLMS were trained on pre-existing writing it follows that people commonly write like that.
overall I think things have gotten better. I noticed maybe 3 years before chatGPT hit the scene that I would frequent on a page that definitely didn't seem written by a native English speaker. The writing was just weird. I see less of that former style now.
Probably the biggest new trend I notice is this very prominent "Conclusion" block that seems to show up now.
Honestly I'd love to see some data on it. I suspect a lot of "that's LLM slop" isn't and others isn't noticed and lots of LLM tropes were rife within online content long before LLMs but we're now hypersensitive to certain things since they're overused by LLMs.

Also we may have already reached a point where people are exposed so much to it they start talking naturally like AI.
We've seen it before, with the advent of internet and short text messages on mobile phone and the evolution of the music genres the writing and speaking capacity of the general population has gown downhill over the last 3 decades. I was watching video archives from the 70's and 80's a few days ago. It was striking to see that bar a few illiterate ones most random people from any social class interviewed in the streets 40-50 years ago would talk in a much more intelligible, eloquent and pleasant way than the best public orators of the 2020's.
I believe this is likely a consequence of how RLHF is done. I’ve not verified it, but I suspect the frontier model labs are outsourcing it to companies employing primarily non-native English speakers.
