#722Prompt: 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…
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.
This is ironic because I’m now seeing comments that are way more sycophantic (several calling this the “best HN post ever”)

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.
O365 raising the price to $40 a month ten years from now didn't quite land. Microsoft 365 E5 is $57 a month right now! $100 or $1000 a month makes the joke clearer.

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?
Here it is: https://sw.vtom.net/hn35/news.html I downloaded the original article page, had claude extract the submission info to json, then wrote a script (by hand ;) to run feed each submission title to gemini-3-pro and ask it for an article webpage and then for a random number of comments. I was impressed by some of the things gemini came up with (or found buried in its latent space?). Highlights: "You’re probably…
As a big fan of Zig, I still got a laugh out of this one:

Favorite thing I've come across so far: prompt_engineer_ret 10 hours ago I miss the old days of Prompt Engineering. It felt like casting spells. Now you just think what you want via Neural-Lace and the machine does it. Where is the art? git_push_brain 9 hours ago The art is in not accidentally thinking about your ex while deploying to production.
What about this one: > The micro-transaction joke hits too close to home. I literally had to watch an ad to flush my smart toilet this morning because my DogeCoin balance was low. And the response...
I am nearly in tears after reading this chain of posts. I have never read anything so funny here on HN.
Real question: How do LLMs "know" how to create good humor/satire? Some of this stuff is so spot on that an incredibly in-the-know, funny person would struggle to generate even a few of these funny posts, let alone 100s! Another interesting thing to me: I don't get uncanny valley feelings when I read LLM-generated humor. Hmm... However, I do get it when looking at generated images. (I guess different parts of the brain are activated.)

This is truly a work of comedy genius. The comments! Too good! Sent to Internet Archive for posterity (https://archive.md/1mpi1).
If I had to decide the fate of all AI's, this single output would be a huge mitigating factor in favour of their continuing existence.

re: image gen, have you seen the more recent models? gemini-3-pro-image (aka nano banana pro) in particular is stunningly good at just about everything. examples: https://vtom.net/banana/

SQLite 4.0 Release Notes: https://sw.vtom.net/hn35/pages/90098234.html Another absolute gem: Columns now support "Vibe" affinity. If the data feels like an integer, it is stored as an integer. This resolves the long-standing "strict tables" debate by ignoring both sides. Also: SQLite 4.0 is now the default bootloader for 60% of consumer electronics. The build artifacts include sqlite3.wasm which can now run bare-meta…
I haven't laughed this much for a while :) I'm exploring the possibility for gemini to write me such jokes every day when I wake up - perhaps it can vibe code something itself.
