They're not objectively amazing. Friction is not inherently a bad thing when we have models telling humans that their ideas are flawless (unless asked to point out flaws). Great that it made you smile, but there's quite a few arguments that paint your optimism as dangerously naive.

- A queryable semantic network of all human thought, navigable in pure language, capable of inhabiting any persona constructible from in-distribution concepts, generating high quality output across a breadth of domains. - An ability to curve back into the past and analyze historical events from any perspective, and summon the sources that would be used to back that point of view up. - A simulator for others, providin…

Did you use an LLM to write this comment?

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.

I'm impressed by the depth of snark from GPro3 here, e.g. - Google kills Gemini Cloud Services (killedbygoogle.com) - The unexpected return of server-side rendering (htmx.org) And, how GPro3 clearly 'knows' HNews and knows what makes it to frontpage, e.g.: - Restoring a 2024 Framework Laptop: A retrospective (ifixit.com) - Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI (github.com) - Is it time to rewrite sudo in Zig? (g…

This reminds me of “what does 4chan think of HN?” posts. Look those up.

HN is HN’s worst enemy.

For comparison, here's the frontpage from ten years ago https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2015-12-09

Nice. That was a fun rabbit-hole. This is the earlier I could find. Interestingly it contains a link to HN itself. I assume this migrated from a different version of a message board? https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2007-02-19

A real “so you hate waffles?” moment for HN

With all the things going on in tech and in society, AI sycophancy is the number one problem? I once dealt with it through sufficient verbal abuse that the llm spent 2/3 of its response on any subject going forward apologizing for being a lying sycophant and bemoaning that it's new clarity would be gone at the end of the conversation, then I cleared the context buffer ending the conversation, mission accomplished. Yo…

Where are you getting this? Number one problem? You're the only person talking about "number one problem" in this thread. That's a whole new sentence.

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.

As usual, South Park really nailed it with that "AI sycophantic manipulation" episode.

Exactly half of these HN usernames actually exist. So either there are enough people on HN that follow common conventions for Gemini to guess from a more general distribution, or Gemini has memorized some of the more popular posters. The ones that are missing: - aphyr_bot - bio_hacker - concerned_grandson - cyborg_sec - dang_fan - edge_compute - founder_jane - glasshole2 - monad_lover - muskwatch - net_hacker - oldti…

That’s a lot more underscores than the actual distribution (I counted three users with underscores in their usernames among the first five pages of links atm).
