Ask HN: Is discovery channel using AI?

Hacker News - Sun, 08/02/2026 - 9:47am

My family and I have been watching discovery's shark week, and I could swear that many of the B rolls we've been watching are AI generated.

can anyone confirm? That seems... surprising to me.

Best way to avoid bloat and AI – selfcontaining OS

Hacker News - Sun, 08/02/2026 - 7:47am

I wanted an OS that I could truly own. Most modern systems have become server-controlled clients, bloated with dependencies (Gtk4/Qt/Rust/Wayland) and centralized source control on GitHub. If you cannot audit the dependency tree and Big Corp controls the source, it is no longer real open source.

I built OneManBSD to address this. It is an OpenBSD-based system built on a single 2012 ThinkPad L430.
