BTW, one archetype that I didn't see in the simulation: Angry Affluent White Male. Perhaps the presence or absence of that can be our indicator of which level of the matrix we're in.
Pretty accurate. I just submitted a link to Dropbox, and the first comment read “isn’t this just SFTP with a pretty UI on top?” https://news.ysimulator.run/item/2045 I suppose this proves we’re all living in a simulation already. To gather further scientific proof, I’m going to submit some links about Rust, Apple, and a couple of Nyan Cat things and see how it goes…
reminds me very much of this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224
Hey all, John here. I just wanted to say a big thanks for all the support on this project. Yesterday was a roller coaster of, "oh, I guess nobody cares," to "well, I'm proud of it anyway," to "wait, people are submitting," to "this is amazing!" to "OH GOD THIS ISN'T GOOD," to "I think everything is fine," to "alright, I'm going to bed." And when I woke up this morning, it really tickled me to see that folks were stil…
super neat & fun idea! as a fellow weekend art-project tinkerer (but probably a bit more amateur), what is your flow for making apps these days? I've been building a few things myself with help from GitHub copilot but I don't have a lot of other perspectives on what people are using to whip up their neat ideas. Cursor? replit?
Does anyone else feel odd skimming real HN this morning, noticing how similar it is to the LLM regurgitation and some archetypes?

We redirect our AAWMness into our pedantry when we don’t want to wear it on our sleeves
This is so cool. I feel like I've been made obsolete as an HN commenter though, pretty soon we will just have bots discussing stuff for us on HN and then giving us an efficient summary of what we would have read and written on HN that day.
It's already here, just download OpenAI's AI browser and tell it to do it for you and then go back in the yard and just lay down to die because if even that tiny bit of joy I get from posting here is better done by a fucking robot, what point is there to life anymore.
I think my favorite part so far is how literally every single comment rejected my (kind of ridiculous admittedly) assertion. Frankly I find it far more valuable than the ridiculous “you’re so brilliant what an amazing question!” attitude I get from LLM’s generally. https://news.ysimulator.run/item/1313
