Perhaps, but I think its a good thing that boeing is under more scrutiny and is getting more shit than their competition would for the same. Not much more general public can do.
Whether or not it's a good thing in the abstract, these HN threads are always disaster zones. People who are actually informed don't bother to show up, so it's just a bunch of low-effort complaints about Boeing that bear no relation to the article.
I believe it could be useful to update the title to mention that this only happens in the desktop application. I personally only use the mobile app, and while I'm aware I might be biased, I didn't even know a desktop Signal application existed.
Not saying the severity of the issue is lower because of it, just that it might not impact as many people as the current title would suggest.
HN def is a community, in some sense of the word, but I also dont like the phrasing and emphasis on "we" having done something or we having a problem and whatnot.
HN promotes debate and individual opinions, so statements like in parent just have bad connotations to them.
> dont like the phrasing and emphasis on "we" having done something
Fair enough. I cited two we’s.
In the first—where “we, as a community, have been critical of crypto”—I juxtapose this community at large’s scepticism of crypto with its giving the benefit of doubt to people similar to crypto’s worst in AI.
In the second—where “we have a wider problem”—I intended to reference Silicon Valley at large. I did not intend to imply that Sam Altman is HN’s problem to solve. (Though I welcome the help, if you have sway in D.C. or your state capital. I am not sure I have the bandwidth to take on a political project of this magnitude.)

In consideration that Sam Altman was the former president of YCombinator, and Hacker News is financed by this company, it would be true hacker spirit (as in Hacker News) to subvertingly use Hacker News to "solve" the Sam Altman problem. :-D
Now imagine it happening for literally every interaction. Opened a context menu? Oh give me a second to check the LLM server for useful actions I can offer you. Want to close a window? One sec just wanna analyze the content first to see if you reealy want to close it.
I am so happy that most gaming is now possible on Linux and I dont have to use Windows at all.
I left Windows for Linux around when Win 10 came out. What prompted was the whole shenanigans to remove features I didn’t want and frustration with the settings (I like to change stuff every once in a while). I throw myself in the world of Arch, i3wm, and ricing. I’m using macOS now, but it’s quite nice to know there’s an haven out there once the abuse is too much.
I'd be surprised if any legal department in any company with one will not freak the f out when they read this. They will likely loose the biggest customers first, so even if it is 1% of customers, it will likely affect their bottom line enough to give it a second though. I don't see how they might profit from an in-house LLM more than from their enterprise-tier plans.
Their customer support will have a hell of a day today.
