Commenters of HN:

Your past thoughts have been dredged up and judged.

For each $TOPIC, you have been awarded a grade by GPT-5.1 Thinking.

Your grade is based on OpenAI's aligned worldview and what OpenAI's blob of weights considers Truth in 2025.

Did you think well, netizen?

Are you an Alpha or a Delta-Minus?

Where will the dragnet grading of your online history happen next?

Random Bets for 2035:

* Nvidia GPUs will see heavy competition and most chat-like use-cases switching to cheaper models and inference-specific-silicon but will be still used on the high end for critical applications and frontier science

* Most Software and UIs will be primarily AI-generated. There will be no 'App Stores' as we know them.

* ICE Cars will become niche and will be largely been replaced with EVs, Solar will be widely deployed and will be the dominate source of power

* Climate Change will be widely recognized due to escalating consequences and there will be lots of efforts in mitigations (e.g, Climate Engineering, Climate-resistant crops, etc).

You’re about 20 days short or 345 days late for this HN tradition. ;)

The infamous Dropbox comment might turn out to be right in 10 more years, when LLMs might just build an entire application from scratch for you.

It's fun to read some of these historic comments! A while back I wrote a replay system to better capture how discussions evolved at the time of these historic threads. Here's Karpathy's list from his graded articles, in the replay visualizer:

Notable how this is only possible because the website is a good "web citizen." It has urls that maintain their state over a decade. They contain a whole conversation. You don't have to log in to see anything. The value of old proper websites increases with our ability to process them.
