I think that "Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI" could easily be a post here today

And it’s just a copy of notepad from windows xp.

Given it's HN, it'd likely be emacs, vi(m), or something like acme.

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…

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

Pretty funny how the top story there references A.I.! Since /front is a ranked union of all the stories that were on the frontpage over 24 hours, here's an actual snapshot too: https://web.archive.org/web/20151209195229/https://news.ycom...

>It’s interesting to notice how bad AI is at gaming out a 10-year future. I agree it's a bit silly, but I think it understood the assignment(TM) which was to kind of do a winking performative show and dance to the satisfaction of the user interacting with it. It's entertainment value rather than sincere prediction. Every single entry is showing off a "look how futury this is" headline. Actual HN would have plenty of…

Also, many of the posts seemed intended to be humorous and satirical, rather than merely 'futury.' They made me laugh anyway. > Google kills Gemini Cloud Services > Running LLaMA-12 7B on a contact lens with WASM > Is it time to rewrite sudo in Zig? > Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI

I walked away with that page open, glanced at the "Is it time to rewrite sudo in Zig?" post, and clicked to see the comments because I thought it was real :')

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…
