Can't tell if this is a parody comment or not...

Those comments violate the HN guidelines. Please read and follow them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Kidding, I too thought this thread was the parody at first. After all, they are real HN comments! Or maybe this is part of the parody. Maybe if we trained an AI to detect genuine vs. parody?

Blockchain will solve this better

That’s what this site is. You’ve been talking to a machine all this time. Do you really think a person would have this much time to argue day in and day out over systemd? That that many people care wherever or not Go has generics and which other languages does them best? That rust somehow is the cure for everything from game engines to the common cold? Think about all the times a “person” stated something was Turing…

Who could argue for hours and praise and upvote someone getting Doom running on all their household appliances?

Ok that’s it then it’s time to run doom on my toaster, rendering onto bread… input will be tough though

Damn, I was afraid this was going to be someone stealing my genius idea. Gladly it was just tangential to that idea. Idea: Train an ai to construct entire threads based on the input of the title and link. There should be plenty of training material, and frankly I think it would be hilariously similar to the real threads. When new submissions are added to HN, the system will fetch the title and link, and predict the e…

I present algorithm whereby each byte is iterated from 0 to 255, following recursively for next byte for each previously yielded result. From above nonsensical results are removed. Above algorithm generalizes all human knowledge ever conceived, in any format, as well as any future (duplicated!) ideas that may be conceived. I donate above algorithm and all its results to public domain. You're welcome.

You should've just said a stream of bits, as your system cannot generate anything that requires a non-multiple of 8 bits to be accurately expressed. Zero padding is not the same as absence of bits.

Sounds similar to /r/subredditsimulator. >this is a fully-automated subreddit that generates random submissions and comments using markov chains (see below for more info), with each bot account creating text based on comments from a different subreddit. Quite fun to read.

Let's go a level further. Instead of banning/shadowbanning people just send it to shadow realm where all they see are bot created comments and bot created answers to what they comment
