Is Baby Gronk the new Drip King or was he just getting rizzed up by Livvy?
That is the weirdest thing I've ever read

This is an unhealthy amount of rage to feel about a random person doing something random on the internet
I don’t think it’s about this single random person, but the larger trend it represents. It’s everywhere now, and it shows a general lack of care and craft.
It’s certainly not new. These sorts of “look at me” slop projects existed long before modern LLMs

After clicking play, there's a prompt to log in. I had to use a video downloader service to watch it
could be regional cuz that don't happen in the US. they play right away regardless of log in status
I'm in the US and twitter videos don't play for me. I see what looks like a video control when I view the post, when I click it, it throws up a modal log in/sign in dialog. No way to view the video while logged out.

It's not a random person doing something random though. It's bait leveraging two very hot brands (Fable! Harry Potter!) and gluing them together with the the most clichéed, of-the-moment ad copy prose style. I don't hate the project or the brands particularly, but you have to be living under a rock not to be aware that social media is absolutely awash in this sort of content.
You've always wondered what would happen if Thing You Like had existed alongside Other Thing You Like. They called you crazy. They told you it could never happen.
They were wrong.
For the first time, Thing and Other Thing together - just like you imagined. It's not fiction. It's not a dream. It's real, and you can have it now - today. Thing Other Thing. Experience the magic with 40% off your first month's subscription if you sign up in the next 20 minutes.
I don't feel as activated about it as OP, but only because I've already opted myself out of this media landscape as much as possible. I think it's perfectly natural to be hostile towards such overt hijacking of one's limbic system. Modern marketing is incredibly toxic.

Harry Potter would have posted the original video to YouTube instead. It seems like a tragic irony, and perhaps a sign of danger, that OP posted the demo video to the website of He Who Should Not Be Named. Why? Why?!
Because Twitter posts consisting of YouTube links die quickly. It’s very obvious once you have a few thousand followers. Your option is basically either upload to twitter, or put the YouTube link at the end just before a screenshot. Or both a video and a YouTube link, I suppose. If you trigger their YouTube embed, it seems like it gets penalized quite harshly. I’ve seen other people agree with the sentiment.
Just don't use a Twitter post as your demo video in the GitHub readme. I don't care what someone does on Twitter - I never go there. But you can just embed a .gif or .webm in your readme or link to YouTube there.

#108Ironically, Tom Riddle's diary encouraging kids to commit suicide [1] and then showing them how to do it would be more on brand than the version in the books. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_linked_to_chatbots#Suic...
Every AI would refuse the prompt. I was banned for researching Nordic assisted death and asking which drug exactly they administered (and what quantity). Claude refused, alerted Anthropic, and I was banned a couple days later. Thankfully the appeal form worked, but by then I was using a different Claude account praying they didn’t ban me again. There’s an uncensored model floating around that you can run locally with…
> it’s certainly not able to be deployed in production
Why not?

Can't use the Twitter links if you don't have a Twitter account. Also, why make the user click away when they're trying to understand if your product does something interesting, and why do they need an account on an unrelated service when an image/gif embed would get the message across in 5 seconds?
There are many workarounds like xcancel and nitter.net and xcancel.com that have been operating for a couple of years now. This is Hacker News, not Consumer Reports.
By that point I've lost interest in the project. Not a very good elevator pitch if you're losing people before they even see what it looks like.
