alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Gemini Pro 3 hallucinates the HN front page 10 years from now
Comments
Love this. Some real gems. SQLite v4? Htmx posting about SSR? Chef's kiss.
It did a good job with the points-to-comments ratios. The purely technical stories are higher than industry news and clickbait.
Interesting how controversial Zig will be in the future :)
It seems that when we predict the future, we tend to project what is important or trending now as what will be important or trending then. This is showing in this llm produced bit as well, what with the regular topics on rust, zig, why I'm coding with my two human hands, spacex moon exploration and whatnot.
That must be some kind of bias, you find that in sci-fi as well where even futuristic societies usually have the same tech as today, similar systems of governance and structure of society, just incrementally better or marginally changed (unless that's a device essential to the plot like society is now berserk).
Ps: love that #8 is Google killed gemini
"Google kills Gemini Cloud Services (killedbygoogle.com) 530 points by dang_fan 15 hours ago | hide | 330 comments"
Ha! Is Gemini suicidal?
It forgot the “I got <complex modern software> running on my <ancient underpowered hardware>” pattern.
Maybe this was answered already in a comment. Is the SQLite 4.0 Release notes also a joke? Are SQLite releases rare or even extinct?
"Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI (github.com)"
Nailed it
The most accurate part about this is that HN still hasn't implemented dark mode.
The gary marcus post about AI progress stalling made me laugh. I think that would be accurate.
One thing that the AI didn’t get right is the Linux kernel versioning. Linus likes to bump the major version around every x.19-x.20 release
Google kills Gemini cloud services - 330 points
Quite accurate I’d say

Last but not lest, this was a good laugh!
Design still hasn't changed and have to zoom in 150+% to make it readable without glasses.
What, no Doom running on Voyager 2?
So we went from Linux Kernel 5.18 to 6.4 in 13 months, and Gemini thinks it will take 10 years to go from 6.18 to 7.4? Yikes...
Nice. Conspicuously missing a link to a wordpress.com blog.
Seeing htmx there made me chuckle. I really wish something like it will be browser native by then.
"Show HN: AlgoDrill – Interactive drills to stop forgetting LeetCode patterns"
I think the AI is making fun of us
I like how you can have AI in your Neuralink, your contact lenses, your AR glasses, your text editor and your compiler at the same time!
IBM acquires OpenAI. I lol'd
Gemini is predicting the total collapse of OpenAI
Also generates the HackerNews pattern of "lets rewrite X in Rust/Zig"
Kudos that hackernews homepage didn't gain any bloat in 10 years -- still about 50kb .
I would love to see the hallucinated comments of these! Some seem interesting — I wonder how HN suggests to prevent ad-injection in AR glasses?
Very good!
But I expected a humorous touch in stating that fusion is still 10 years away…
> 27. The unexpected return of server-side rendering (htmx.org)
Ha this one got me
I was hoping for 'will 2036 be the year of the Linux desktop' ..
That's great!
Take a look at the HTML. The layout is all tables!
as a tailscale user and quite obsessed with tailscale related news, it's quite funny to see the tailscale on the starlink dish news...
It lacks "37th-largest city of Poland switches from Windows to Linux"
Will this be the new "pelican on a bicycle" test for frontier models?
Is the implication from the first story that HLS is going to need nine tries to get to Tranquility?
I have to admit that this is the first time I found something made by an AI ... funny.
I like that the future is bright in Gemini's perception - number 1 post is about SpaceX Starship's success.
Gary Marcus, ha! He's generally not entirely wrong, but boy, is he annoying.
That is absolutely phenomenal!
Missing "Why 2035 will be the year of the Linux desktop".
The user names check out a little too well.
Very optimistic. From what I've heard, ITER will not be operational in 10 years.
100% Rust kernel - I felt that
> Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI (github.com)
I felt that...
Zero items about the impending 2038 time value rollover bug impact. Maybe it’s really solved.
I'm mostly struck by how incremental and unimaginative those articles are.
I haven't even looked at the linked page but IMO this is one of the few things where an LLM is good: making up legible gibberish.
I've maintained for ages that the entire multi billion dollar LLM industry is just the worlds most expensive Lorem Ipsum machine.
gemini has no love for people writing novel task/notes organizer in 2035 or was the problem solve somewhere in between ?
lmao thought something was wrong with my browser
I realy need this: How to build a Faraday Cage for your bedroom. please upload!
