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?

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…

Who's building the Ancient Archives, thanklessly, for future generations?

If someone asked you, you would know about the context. LLMs are predictors, no matter the context length, they never "know" what they are doing. They simply predict tokens.

This common response is pretty uninteresting and misleading. They simply predict tokens? Oh. What does the brain do, exactly?

The brain has intrinsic understanding of the world engraved in our DNA. We do not simply predict tokens based on knowledge, we base our thoughts on intelligence, emotions and knowledge. LLMs neither have intelligence nor emotions. If your brain simply predicts tokens I feel sorry for you.

Edit: really does not surprise me that AI bros downvote this. Expecting to understand human values from people that want to make themselves obsolete was a mistake.

Here's v0's attempt (using Opus 4.5 / I'm on free tier) with the article and comments too. It did quite well. I believe it followed my instructions to use just a single html page (wound up being 3000+ lines long). https://v0-future-hacker-news.vercel.app/#

The comments are pretty good

From @dangs_successor in the first post:

  We've merged several duplicate threads on this topic. Please keep the discussion substantive and avoid personal attacks.

  Also, yes, my username is silly. The previous dang retired in 2031 and I lost a bet.

This is awesome, but minor quibble with the title - "hallucinates" is the wrong verb here. You specifically asked it to make up a 10-year-in-the-future HN frontpage, and that's exactly what it did. "Hallucinates" means when it randomly makes stuff up but purports it to be the truth. If some one asks me to write a story for a creative writing class, and I did, you wouldn't say I "hallucinated" the story.

It so very weird to see this called "hallucinate", as we all have more or less used it for "made up erroneously".

Is this a push to override the meaning and erase the hallucination critique?
