#123Very nice! Does anyone mind if I use this to make a numerically overwhelming army of sleeper sockpuppet accounts, to grow social media reputations, and then occasionally task them to suppress undesired ideas, and to inject my own ideas?

#124After seeing a synthetic version that mimics the tone well enough, the real HN once back here felt slightly less distinct. When every information style gets a believable AI twin, our usual cues for judging what’s credible start to wobble.
To be clear, the strange part wasn’t that it fooled me, it didn’t. The issue was some form of “signal contamination” that my brain experienced.

yeah i knew about this but its written in lisp was there something more recent and active that mimics HN exactly in terms of UI and feel written in React or php even ?

I believe there was lobste.rs, but it lacks HN's simplicity.

#127It's uncanny. Nice work capturing so much of the attitude and conversation style, amped up just a little for effect.

#128This is a lot of fun. The vibe is so perfect.
