Good thinking there. We all could learn from the generator.

Randomly entering "China" into the title makes the model oddly obsessed with the U.S. :

- The U.S. has a similar problem

- The same can be said of US citizens in countries with strict immigration policies and very few foreign nationals.

- I am really not sure how this is different to what is happening in other countries/countries and how it has changed.

- The US is one of a few countries the US was supposed to be a democracy. Not only that but there is a reason that it's no longer the case.

I tried: "Facebook announces sending man to Mars" and got this: I'm impressed that they have finally addressed the issues with the mission to Mars. I hope this isn't just a marketing push from FB, but a huge PR push. then this: I was wondering how they do it: the man is going to be in a position to land on Mars. Maybe not in Mars, but in the atmosphere of the Moon, this would be the most useful thing I have ever seen…

SpaceX announces sending man to Mars (wired.com)

hncynic 1 minute ago

The most important detail was the last paragraph. The actual announcement for the launch of the Falcon 9 is here: http://www.spacex.com/releases/index.html

This is a huge leap forward for SpaceX to make it into space again. SpaceX will still have a large stake in the rocket, but that's a huge leap forward for the whole industry. I wish SpaceX would just stop [... redacted ...] be more aggressive and look at their competitors.

Input: "Elon Musk to Star in Next Iron Man Movie'

>> As an aside, here are some other movies in this directory.

* The Iron Man and Aliens ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt010248/ )

* The Mars One ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0638888/?ref_=tt_1 )

* The Mars Orbiter ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt009608/ )

>> So Musk got a job at Apple and then worked on it at Apple for a week before he was told the movie went live.

>> This movie is really about this as an advertisement for the movie. Just so you guys know, this guy is making a better movie by talking about the movie not about the movie but just the movie, and how he has a lot of different experiences.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Who has ever looked at a reddit profile and decided that an account should be trusted based on karma? Recent few comments are way more likely to determine trustworthiness. Hoarding karma on reddit is as useless as hoarding karma on HN. I've deleted the only reddit profile I've ever had a few days ago with about 45k karma. If they had any value, I would maybe keep it and just stop posting.

> Who has ever looked at a reddit profile and decided that an account should be trusted based on karma? For starters, automated subreddit spam protection algorithms. You may have misinterpreted me, think of it like StackOverflow karma. Your account needs a certain amount before it can do certain things.

Yes, maybe like +200 (which is what I've set it at as a mod in severe cases of brigading), not thousands. Most of the subreddits don't require anything but positive karma, and you can achieve that with less than a dozen manually created bots upvoting the comments that new bots make.

There are no subreddits with a spam algorithm counted in the thousands of karma, that would prevent them from growing.

In the black market of reddit accounts, age and karma are the two main selling points.

I don't get the point. How does this differ from reddit comments?

I know you're joking, but think of the implications if these comments actually didn't differ from Reddit comments. It would then be easy for a small group of people to push agendas on Reddit. Imagine being able to automate creation of posts that push a certain agenda, then being able to automate thousands of coherent comments that agree with the sentiment of the post. You'd be able to manipulate thousands of real peo…

This is really useful. Some suggestions: 1. Add a "Download this site's CSS" field so it can't just be a "Show HN". The "Show HN" button should be a red flag. 2. "If the site is a startup, we can always add some comments to the title." That's one reason I'm not using http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Did you just...respond with a comment generated by the site about its own title? Or is this a real comment that I just don't understand.

the fact that you couldn't tell just shows how eerily brilliant this is.
