alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Gemini Pro 3 hallucinates the HN front page 10 years from now
Comments
I'm impressed by the depth of snark from GPro3 here, e.g. - Google kills Gemini Cloud Services (killedbygoogle.com) - The unexpected return of server-side rendering (htmx.org)
And, how GPro3 clearly 'knows' HNews and knows what makes it to frontpage, e.g.: - Restoring a 2024 Framework Laptop: A retrospective (ifixit.com) - Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI (github.com) - Is it time to rewrite sudo in Zig? (github.com)
Good laughs.
Sh*t, still no word about "Rocky XXXVIII".[1]
[1] "Airplane!" (1980)
The users names are more funny and interesting than the titles
Somehow algodrill and leetcode managed to survive the ai onslaught
This is super fun! I tried something similar a few months ago using: https://websim.com/
Had it do HN main feed, HN jobs and Product Hunt. It didn’t follow consistent styling but did generate articles and comments for each post. Some screenshots are in this post: https://world.hey.com/haws/the-ai-time-machine-7833669d
Hallucinating is really the only thing LLMs can do reliably and consistently
The major problem is that I understand all the words. It is all next version of the technology we already have and know. Down to the naming.
Think about 10 years ago. No one knows even on HN what is an agent, LLM, and all this stuff. Or to be fair even why is Trump showing up on the feed at all.
It has to be more confusing to be real.
Needs about 50 more "Here's why I do _____ and why it works"
Running LLaMA-12 7B on a contact lens with WASM (arxiv.org)
That is legit hilarious.
Sad to see that leetcode has survived the next decade
Poor Jepsen.
lmao thought something was wrong with my browser
Really good results. And I understand the disclaimer when you try the comments section, but it would be amazing to see hallucinated comments as well.
This gave me a well-needed chuckle, thanks!
What, no reference to quantum or crypto?
it is comforting to know that that HN design persists.
Hmm, nothing about quantum computing in there?
Will HN be around in 10 years? I hope so.
Text Editor that doesn't use AI :)
Let's time travel to the comment section
what a legend! amazing!
Webgpu v2 in 10 years, seems about right.
I feel like it should have at least one reference which is entirely unintelligible to us cave dwellers from 2025.

...or some such.

In my view, Gemini 3.0 being able to laugh about their own creator, plus actually having a self-deprecating sense of humor, is the more impressive feat here. (both technically and from an alignment perspective)
My personal favorite is that SQLite has only gotten to version 4
Where did I put that damn time portal?
It even nailed the 1999 12px font!
haha, that's awesome!
Looks like it's over for Linux.
Anyone mind if I just say: Thanks, I hate it?
fabricate ≠ hallucinate
the future is already here and what's more it's evenly distributed.
It's not by a llm. Written by hand and faked to be an ai output.
This imitation is so good, it almost feels like a satire and reflects on our collective preferences of upvoting articles in HN. Brilliant!
HN users: Let's ban AI comments in threads.
HN users, later the same day: Let's vote an AI thread to the top.

“Google shuts down Gemini cloud services” lol, is amazing

Ouch. Well it is Gemini I guess :D
> Is it time to rewrite sudo in Zig?
If there's one constant it's that they'll never be done rewriting Linux instead of doing anything new.
Dramatically underestimates MS Office 365 price per user inflation (IMO).
This is fun :-)
this was a good laugh :D
ok but there's too many important news for one day
They got the UI right
Awesome, love it!
Why is this a hallucination?
