Sycophantic is obviously a word, because we understand what it means. Furthermore, it obviously hasn't been a word since at least 1800: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?year_start=1800&year_e...

They were pointing out a typo ("syncophantic").

It wasn't so much pointing it out as a typo as making myself clear.

When suggesting a word is not what the writer meant, when it was also not the word that the writer wrote, it seemed wise to clarify exactly what I was talking about.

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.

The promise is backwards compatibility in the file format and C API until 2050.

I don't know what the obsession with recursion either, for lack of a better term, I see this trend recur with other LLMs when they're talking about other mumbo jumbo like "quantum anomalies" or "universal resonance". I'd like to see what could be causing it...

How widely do you read the training material?

usually every afternoon, when I come here /s

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?

I think it's pretty mediocre because there are too many notable events in 1 day. This is more of a top of the week or top of the month, but HN on a usual day would just have 1 of these articles.

Sure, but it's kinda like cartoon/comic art. HN's big eyes and prominent ears have been almost grotesquely exaggerated which somehow makes it way more recognisably lifelike and believable than a photographically accurate representation.

Just did the same with claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 https://2035.future-hackernews.workers.dev/news The page looks much more consistent to the original. Only produced the html as output and the thinking in the comment of the html.

I did a similar one for predicting "The Onion" headlines: https://sethjano.github.io/fun-scripts/

Google kills Gemini cloud services is the best one. I can't believe I haven't seen that joke until today.

The humor is hit or miss but when it hits it’s quite funny, and the misses are merely groan-worthy.

Triggered by the lighthearted tone of the prompt, I’d bet, but still quite impressive relative to most LLM-generated jokes I’ve had the misfortune to encounter.

My favorite: “Is it time to rewrite sudo in Zig?” which has a few layers to it.

Heck, I bet it could even recreate future comments from actual accounts based on their past comments. After all, if an AI can roast your HN comments with such pinpoint accuracy, it can probably impersonate you pretty well too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42857604

At least in my case, the "pinpoint accuracy" of that roast made for a pretty uninspired result, it seemed to be based on like 4 or 5 specific comments seemingly chosen at random.

Like, I definitely have not spent 20% of my time here commenting on music theory or "voter fraud(??)" (that one seems to be based on a single thread I responsed to a decade ago)? ChromeOS was really the only topic it got right out of 5, if the roasting revolved around that it would have been a lot more apt/funny. Maybe it works better with an account that isn't as old as mine?

I find the front page parody much better done. Gemini 2.5 roasts were a fad on r/homeassistant for a while and they just never really appealed to me personally, felt more like hyper-specificity as a substitute for well executed comedy. Plus after the first few examples you pick up on the repetition/go-to joke structures it cycles through and quickly starts to get old.
