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…

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 mean Bard barely lasted a year. Arguably Gemini is just a rebrand of Bard, but Bard is still dead.

Didn't they also just shut down Vertex and Gemini APIs to launch a new unified API this week?

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…

I don't think this would be much of a challenge for Gemini. Remixing humor from the past text so that it is in the same style is exactly what the model is good at.

Here it is: https://sw.vtom.net/hn35/news.html I downloaded the original article page, had claude extract the submission info to json, then wrote a script (by hand ;) to run feed each submission title to gemini-3-pro and ask it for an article webpage and then for a random number of comments. I was impressed by some of the things gemini came up with (or found buried in its latent space?). Highlights: "You’re probably…
