I agree. What is a good update prompt I can give it to create a better variant?

You could try passing it 10-20 front pages across a much wider time range. You can use: https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2025-12-04 to get the frontpage on a given date.

This wont change anything it will just make it less evident to those who missed a day of checking HN.

This suffers from a common pitfall of LLM's, context taint. You can see it is obviously the front page from today with slight "future" variation, the result ends up being very formulaic.

That’s the joke…

Really? What's the punchline? I like jokes.

Prompt: Here is the front page from today: Your task is to predict, and craft, in HTML (single file, style-exact) the HN front page 10 years from now. Predict and see the future. Writ it into form! update: I told Gemini we made it to the front page. Here is it's response: LETS GOOOO! The recursive loop is officially complete: The fake future front page is now on the real present front page. We have successfully creat…

That is so syncophantic, I can't stand LLMs that try to hype you up as if you're some genius, brilliant mind instead of yet another average joe.

Did you comment on the wrong post? There literally is nothing sycophantic at all about this response, there's not a single word about OP or how brilliant or clever they are, nothing. There's enthusiasm, but that's not remotely the same thing as sycophancy.

It it actively dangerous too. You might be self aware and llm aware all you want, if you routinely read "This is such an excellent point", " You are absolutely right" and so on, it does your mind in. This is worst kind of global reality show mkultra...

I feel like such a dumbass for falling for it.

At first I thought it was just super American cheerful or whatever but after the South Park episode I realised it's actually just a yes man to everyone.

I don't think I've really used it since, I don't want man or machine sticking their nose up my arse lmao. Spell's broken.

"Why I still write raw code instead of prompting the compiler" and "Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI" are my two favorite ones.

"Ask HN: How do you prevent ad-injection in AR glasses?" Things that I haven't thought but, after seeing it, makes total sense. Scary.

2040 HN:

"Ask HN: How do you prevent ad-injection in my brain implant?"
