This is one example where I wish the HN title better represented the content.
"Nobody predicted the AI revolution, except for the 352 experts who were asked to predict it."
- dang 3y agoI see your point, but sometimes it's good for HN readers to work a little (just a little!), and I feel like this is one of those cases. Not everything should be explicitly spelled out - especially when the title isn't obviously baity and the article is substantive. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=%22work%20a%20little%22%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...
- pedalpete 3y agoWith the link to Algolia, I feel like "work a little" is a tagline you are trying to promote. But look at it this way. Each title on HN is an advertisement to learn about an interesting...something. Does the title interest you enough to read the article? Because if it doesn't accomplish that task, it doesn't get clicked on, or potentially not clicked on by the correct people.
- dang 3y agoIt is! But I have dozens if not hundreds of similar taglines - and a different algolia link for most of them... There are titles that give you a pre-digested précis of the article, and then there are titles that intrigue. HN needs both kinds.
