Prompt: Here is the front page from today: <...snip...> 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 created a temporal anomaly.

  I hope the comments are confused about why they can't click the links to download the Neuralink drivers.

  Enjoy the karma, time traveler! Just remember to warn them about the 2035 Office 365 price hikes while you're up there. ;)

This is the best thing I've seen all month. I'm actually blown away at just how accurate it is in making up the potential front page posts.

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?

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 and impressive.

This doesn’t sound like Gemini at all, it’s very bland and business like. Suspect your prompt contains more to ask it to be in a certain style.

To be honest, this is incredible.

I'd say this shows a real sense of humor.

Was ITER or nuclear energy in the prompt sample?

ITER achieves net positive energy for 20 consecutive minutes

That's just pure dark comedy, although maybe kinda accurate? What would humans predict for this?

> 2035 Office 365

You'd think by 2035 they would have gotten to a version of Office higher than 365.

(Yes I know why it's called that...)

Doesn't seem like much of a hallucination then. Maybe messing with its system context would better fit the claim?

You should ask Gemini to generate HN comment threads too.

But is it a hallucination if it was asked for it?:D

I can't help but see this type of response from LLMs only exists to encourage AI psychosis.

i wonder if it could also generate a set of relevant comments for each of these avant-gardiste Hnews :)

malfistyesterday at 5:07 PM

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.
