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

Today's front page is not a clean 10 year extrapolation from this. That's where AI is wrong. The future is weird and zig zags, it's not so linear as the Gemini generated page.

Honest question - do you think that everyone else thinks this is even REMOTELY what the front page will look like in 10 years?

I comment because I really cannot figure out why you left your comment. Do you think the rest of the commenters think this has predicted the future? It might be one thing to point out specific trends you think will not play out, or unexpected trends you think may show up that are currently left out. But to just remark that the future will contain things we cannot currently predict seems so inherently, unspokenly obvious that I just have to assume that wasn't the point of your post, and I've missed it entirely.

Sorry, I'm really not trying to be mean or anything - i'm just really confused.

Before the AI stuff Google had those pop up quick answers when googling. So I googled something like three years ago, saw the answer, realized it was sourced from HN. Clicked the link, and lo and behold, I answered my own question. Look mah! Im on google! So I am not surprised at all that Google crawls HN enough to have it in their LLM. I did chuckle at the 100% Rust Linux kernel. I like Rust, but that felt like a cl…

I laughed at the SQLite 4.0 release notes. They're on 3.51.x now. Another major release a decade from now sounds just about right.

But is it a hallucination if it was asked for it?:D

Will there ever be a llama12? Is it going to go the yolo route?

This is one of the greatest LLM creations I've ever seen. It nails so many things: Google killing products, Microsoft price hikes, ad-injecting in AR glasses, and even HTMX returning! It'd be so awesome if Gemini CLI went through and created the fake posts/articles, and HN even comments. Perhaps a bit much to ask of it?

Was going to say - it would be fascinating to go a step further and have Gemini simulate the actual articles. That would elevate this to level of something like an art piece. Really enjoyed this, thank you for posting it. I'm going to go ask Claude Code to create a functional HyperCard stack version of HN from 1994 now... Edit: just got a working version of HyperCardHackerNews, will deploy to Vercel and post shortly.…

I didn't even try to click through to the articles, so I was just disappointed I couldn't read the comments.

I don't believe this was written by Gemini, at least with that prompt, because it is obvious (hilarious and creative) satire of HN and the tech industry based on inside HN jokes and tropes, and clearly isn't a literal interpretation of the prompt.

Moreover, a quick look at your profile suggests these jokes are pretty inline with your sense of humor and writing style.

Anyways, if I'm correct, it's especially hilarious and impressive.
