  Being nitpick because I dislike clickbait. With the use of comma, ", on everything" is an emphasis. Emphasizing "everything" sounds to me they want to run AFL on everything, including Hacker News I guess? Because if everything doesn't include EVERYTHING, then everything isn't really everything.

    everything they have access to is relatively "everything". you are an idiot, on everything.

    It isn't "clickbait" just because natural language contains semantic ambiguity. Contextual clues - both textual and cultural - indicate that "everything" here is limited to software and not all things in existence, and to go further, open-source software. Natural language would cease to function were it not for audience's ability to disambiguate based on context.

      It is a clickbait if a technical person and a technical company are speaking ambiguously. HN itself is a property made up of layers of software and hardware which partially fall into the the "everything [software]" list. If you think I am taking way out of context, that's right, because technologists should not talk like a futurist. That's my point. If this were an article titled "Google AI can understand everything!" but the "everything" is limited to just figuring out a cat video, that would be considered a marketing clickbait. So why are we giving a pass on this article?

    I need to write a browser extension that hides HN comments that include the word 'clickbait'...
