Strikes me as super-informal language as opposed to sycophancy, like one of those anime characters that calls everyone Aniki (兄貴) [1] I'd imagine that the OP must really talk a bit like that. I do find it a little tiring that every LLM thinks my ever idea is "incisive" although from time to time I get told I am flat out wrong. On the other hand I find LLMs will follow me into fairly extreme rabbit holes such as discu…
Edit Gemini using "Aniki" without prompting would be unambiguously funny (to me,and maybe also Japanese people
Well I seem to have thoroughly messed up my Copilot when I started using it to help me write a fanfiction. I'm not going to let it write a single word but it is helping with the reverse engineering of how the source text works and we developed a framework for understanding that text that we've also applied to other texts.
The thing is this has gotten into the personalization and now it wants to use this framework to analyze absolutely anything such as programming problems, or how to deal with interpersonal situations, training, etc. I think it has my wife mixed up with 俺のワイフ [1] which is absolutely hilarious but at some point I have to tell it to knock it off which only partially works.

#543Prompt: 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…
I don't believe this was written by Gemini, at least with that prompt, because it is obvious (hilarious and creative) satire of HN and the tech industry based on inside HN jokes and tropes, and clearly isn't a literal interpretation of the prompt. Moreover, a quick look at your profile suggests these jokes are pretty inline with your sense of humor and writing style. Anyways, if I'm correct, it's especially hilarious…
Maybe the poster IS Gemini 3?

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?
Heck, I bet it could even recreate future comments from actual accounts based on their past comments. After all, if an AI can roast your HN comments with such pinpoint accuracy, it can probably impersonate you pretty well too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42857604
That Gemini-toaster hits way too close to home.

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.
Try this for a system prompt and see if you like it better:
Your responses are always bald-on-record only; suppress FTA redress, maximize unmitigated dispreference marking and explicit epistemic stance-taking.

I feel like your expectations have been swayed by the average sentiment of HN on the capabilities of LLMs. These things can be shockingly good at humour and satire. As a very quick experiment, I would encourage you to have an AI roast you based on your HN comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42857604
haha, that's pretty hilarious :) score one for the LLMs.

#547The title is misleading. This isn't the correct use of the term "hallucination". Hallucination refers to making up facts, not extrapolating into the future. I read 10 comments before I realized that this was referring to 10 years in the FUTURE and not in the PAST (as would be required for it to be a hallucination).

omg, the same for me, I was half way telling my colleague about the 100% rest kernel ...

They also already used Debian trixie for 13.0. I wonder if it's an intended joke that they ran out of names and needed to re-use some.
It’s an LLM, there was no intention. It’s simply the favoured token given the training set and seed.
Metaphorical intention. It's a figure of speech.
Of course you could also argue that human intention comes from largely deterministic processes emerging from the brain. That may eventually perhaps lead to all figures of speech involving things like intentionality meaningless.

#550Just did the same with claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 https://2035.future-hackernews.workers.dev/news The page looks much more consistent to the original. Only produced the html as output and the thinking in the comment of the html.
Claude has better predictions but they're not funny. Gemini's one is genuinely funny. This is exactly the opposite of what I'd expect.
I wouldn't describe most of Claude's predictions as better, they seem to skew towards wildly over optimistic futurism/science-fantasy:
"SpaceX announces Mars City Alpha is now self-sustaining (spacex.com)"
Show HN: I built an IDE for direct neural programming (thoughtexchange.io)
First successful telemetry from Starship HLS-9 on the Sea of Tranquility (spacex.com)
