Proprietary AI models are not going to last. Not scalable, not moral and not worth the money.

Commenter's doesn't live isolated only getting information from other commenters, they have lives outside of HN and use that to inform their comments.
So no, it isn't the same as AI ingesting AI content at all.

The plural is "corpora" :-)

#725I used o3-mini to summarize this thread so far. Here's the result: https://gist.github.com/simonw/09e5922be0cbb85894cf05e6d75ae... For 18,936 input, 2,905 output it cost 3.3612 cents. Here's the script I used to do it: https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/claude-hacker-news-themes...
Currently on the internet people skip the article and go straight to the comments. Soon people will skip the comments and go striaght to an AI summary reading neither the original article nor the comments.
I wanted to listen to a podcast where a profesor explains a new drug for ADHD. Instead of spending 2h of my time I spent 5 min reading a summary generated by gpt from a youtube transcript.

Even more occasionally commenters are too.
But extremely rare for a popular wrong comment to not have sub comments debunking them, they are much more reliable than articles therefore.
I’ve found the more I know about the topic at hand, the more wildly many of the comments seem off base, even the highly upvoted undebunked ones. Its harder for me to judge topics I don’t know much about, but I have to assume it’s something similar.

#727I wish they picked different descriptors than various ox with turbo mini preview etc and some of them shockingly different (o1 preview versus o1 regular for example) just give us three or four buckets of combos of cheap and fast and good :p it’s to the point where I have to look up prices and abilities and decide on a model for every use case and realize I made a mistake in the one I was using the day before.

Re: OpenAI O3-Mini
#730I've been using cursor since it launched, sticking almost exclusively to claude-3.5-sonnet because it is incredibly consistent, and rarely loses the plot. As subsequent models have been released, most of which claim to be better at coding, I've switched cursor to it to give them a try. o1, o1-pro, deepseek-r1, and the now o3-mini. All of these models suffer from the exact same "adhd." As an example, in a NextJS app,…
My experience with cursor and sonnet is that it is relatively good at first tries, but completely misses the plot during corrections. "My attempt at solving the problem contains a test that fails? No problem, let me mock the function I'm testing, so that, rather than actually run, it returns the expected value!" It keeps doing that kind of shenanigans, applying modifications that solve the newly appearing problem whi…
It seems like you could use aider in architecture mode. Basically, it will suggest the solution to your problem fist, and prompt you to start editing, you can say no to refine the solution and only start editing when you are satisfied with it.
