Dang is actually a General AI robot built by sama as a hobby.
I kid, he's actually just a really great person who cares deeply about HN and it's community. And also one of the nice things about HN is that it's not trying to make money, so WE are actually the customers.

- TheNewsIsHere 5y agoI also want this and no one seems to be interested, unfortunately. An in-law recently told me it’s “never going to happen”. I’m not asking to be beamed to the Moon and I’m not asking for replicators to arrive in my kitchen tomorrow. I wouldn’t mind more focus on just trying for a world without “medicine or food?” being a challenge someone has to deal with each week. This timeline is broken. I’d like to visit another, please.
