To be honest, this is incredible. I'd say this shows a real sense of humor.

100% Rust Linux kernel has to be it being funny.

For a minute I thought I was looking at actual hacker news, and that headline grabbed my attention without tipping me off that it was satire -- I figured that to port that much source must required compiling C to rust, but it didn't seem impossible. I would love to give something like this a spin.

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…

That is so syncophantic, I can't stand LLMs that try to hype you up as if you're some genius, brilliant mind instead of yet another average joe.

You’re absolutely right! It shows true wisdom and insight that you would recognise this common shortfall in LLM response tone of voice! That’s exactly the kind of thoughtful analytic approach which will go far in today’s competitive marketplace!

It it actively dangerous too. You might be self aware and llm aware all you want, if you routinely read "This is such an excellent point", " You are absolutely right" and so on, it does your mind in. This is worst kind of global reality show mkultra...

No doubt. From cult's 'love bombing' to dictator's 'yes men' to celebrity entourages, it's a well-known hack on human psychology. I have a long-time friend who's a brilliant software engineer who recently realized conversing with LLMs was affecting his objectivity. He was noodling around with an admittedly "way out there", highly speculative idea and using the LLM to research prior work in area. This evolved into the…

And that is a relatively harmless academic pursuit. What about topics that can lead to true danger and violence?

"You're exactly right, you organized and paid for the date, that created a social debt and she failed to meet her obligation in that implicit deal."

"You're exactly right, no one can understand your suffering, nothingness would be preferable to that."

"You're exactly right, that politician is a danger to both the country and the whole world, someone stopping him would become a hero."

We have already seen how personalized content algorithms that only prioritize getting the user to continue to use the system can foment extremism. It will be incredibly dangerous if we follow down that path with AI.

Most stuff posted here are mostly ignored, though. If grounding to reality requires one to become viral first, we are cooked.

HN frontpage hardly requires being viral. Just genuine intrigue from a select few.

> HN frontpage hardly requires virility.

As far as I can tell, it doesn't require femininity either.

I'm guessing you meant "virality"

I often try running ideas past chat gpt. It's futile, almost everything is a great idea and possible. I'd love it to tell me I'm a moron from time to time.

> I often try running ideas past chat gpt. It's futile, almost everything is a great idea and possible. I'd love it to tell me I'm a moron from time to time. Here's how to make it do that. Instead of saying "I had idea X, but someone else was thinking idea Y instead. what do you think" tell it "One of my people had idea X, and another had idea Y. What do you think" The difference is vast, when it doesn't think it's y…

Maybe I'm still doing some heavy priming by using multiple prompts, but similarly you can follow-up any speculative prompt with a "now flip the framing to x" query to ensure you are seeing the strong cases from various perspectives. You must be honest with yourself in evaluating the meaningful substance between the two, but I've found there often is something to parse. And the priming I suggested is easily auditable anyhow: just reverse the prompt order and now you have even more (often junk) to parse!

I continue to be unimpressed by LLMs when it comes to creative work, they're certainly useful sometimes for "reference digging", but maybe I just don't understand enough about how they work and this is actually something that can already be "fixed" or at least optimized for; anyway, one of the headlines is: > Debian 18 "Trixie" released While it correctly derives that a likely version number in ten years would be 18,…

And the fact that it thinks it will take 10 years to go from Linux kernel 6.18 to 7.4 when it only took 13 months to go from 5.18 to 6.4... It's off by about an order of magnitude...

I agree with you, but I found the argument in this article that "glazing" could be considered a neurohack quite interesting: https://medium.com/@jeremyutley/stop-fighting-ai-glazing-a7c....

I don't know what the obsession with recursion either, for lack of a better term, I see this trend recur with other LLMs when they're talking about other mumbo jumbo like "quantum anomalies" or "universal resonance". I'd like to see what could be causing it...

It’s the “healing” crystals that someone left on the rack. The salt absorbed enough moisture to start leaking and causing short circuits.

Where possible I like to ask it to evaluate a few options. Which is better, x or y, and why?. I don't hint which idea I prefer.
