- hooverd 3y agoOk, personally, I just don't like -ening neologisms. More like crappening!
- shwaj 3y agoCrappening is likewise cromulent, although I can see why you might prefer encrapifying.
- swyx 3y agocant help but notice that HN seems to like negative neologisms ("enshittification", "crappening") than positive ones. I would hope for a more technoptimistic, or at least technoneutral, crowd here.
- Jensson 3y agoThere was a lot of optimism for these things a few years ago. Currently it is the end of the hype cycle, so lot of negativity. These transformer powered generative AI models has been a thing for years now, so most of the initial hype died down a long time ago. And even though it was late in the hype cycle it was mostly optimism that got upvoted when ChatGPT got released, but since it was so late in the hype cycle of transformer models overall that hype died down in a few months.
