That’s my favourite.

haha, this is freakin epic! I asked gemini to make up some new york times articles from 10 years in the future

- president buttigieg in hot water for being in epstein files

- Interview with mayor elect Narhoz Inadmam who ran on a platform of free food

- "Is 2035 AI in a bubble?"

And as you can see it did NOT just take today's headlines and sort of tweak them slightly.

Hallucinates? Are AI bros trying to reclaim the word and take away its power or something?

Weak.

If you see HN frontpage a few years back there's almost no LLM related posts. Now there are multiple each day. An LLM didn't grasp that change, it can't creatively invent new trend or invent a larger picture of what changes in the world. So in 10 years it paints it still half posts about AI.

You can spend a few dozen prompts on getting it to do what you want but then you might as well just spend a couple hours writing that front page yourself, be more satisfied and the result would be funnier.

Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
