#2I'm new to HN and was initially excited about the various intellectual and technological posts ... but isn't this literally just written by AI?
I've read like 5 posts in a row and it's starting to dawn on me that all this might be written by AI. Why tf would you even bother posting slop like that?

It's been really bad the last few months. You'd think people would want to share human blogs written by people. But half of the links are just different themes on different blogs all ghostwritten by Claude.

Well one of the three is not like the other, three are very accomplished physicists, one is a youtuber who lies about the game to get clicks. (And we know she lies because she used to play the game quite competently.)
And sure enough they start talking about interpretations of QM.

The problem is that we have a bunch of people trying to keep themselves relevant amid a great reshuffle, and there's so much noise that lovingly hand-crafted content gets ignored, so your only rational option if you don't already have an established audience is to slopspam.
