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…

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…

The thing that got me is there are no duds. With just the short prompt in the header I would have expected a few articles that missed the mark, got the details wrong, or even make no sense at all but everything in this checks out. I think an editor may have had a hand in it this the very least.

I have hard time believing this is AI-generated. Every headline looks like a hand-crafted ironic nod to some long-running HN topic, sci-fi trait, or meme. But it is, of course, more trendy (and more ironic) to proclaim an AI the author.

You haven't used Gemini 3.0 Pro if so, this is very much in its range of abilities.

yeah I thought the same. This is either a fake deep fake, or it is so good that I think it should be marked as the inflexion point that defines the singularity.

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?

Agree 100%.

Google killing a service sent me over the top in laughter.

But, it's so on the nose on multiple topics.

I dare say it's more accurate than what the average human would predict.

I would love to see this up against human predictions in some sort of time capsule.

It is quite remarkable just how frequently people in tech forums underestimate reasoning models. Same story on several large technology subreddits. Wouldn't have been my guess for who will get caught off guard by AI progress.

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

Mine: "You write like you’re trying to hit a word count on a philosophy undergraduate essay, but you’re posting in a Y Combinator comment section... You sound like a Victorian ghost haunting a server room, lamenting the loss of the card catalog."

And

"Go compile your kernel, Matt. Maybe if you stare at the build logs long enough, you won't have to face the fact that you're just as much of a "Lego builder" as the rest of us—you just use more syllables to describe the bricks."

Both are pretty good!
