I really hope this was an experiment in using gen AI:
“Create a website for a new company that is building the next generation of computing hardware to power AI software. Make sure it sounds science-y but don’t be too specific.”

- swalsh 3y agoWhy make such a low effort pessimistic comment. What happened to HN?
- catchnear4321 3y agosame thing that is happening everywhere. cognitive effort is getting unbalanced, it used to be necessary to put effort in on write, and on read. now, it is hard to tell who put effort in at all. read or write. would you consider your own response to be optimistic or high effort?

- adw 3y agoHN has always been a tense standoff between a few cliques, the first two being the ostensibly intended audience; * competent and curious engineers * entrepreneurs, who live on a continuum where one end is... * ...hucksters and snake-oil purveyors, of which there are plenty, and * (because this is the Internet) conspiracy theorists and other such loons and recently * political provocateurs You can make a thread work (for that group of people) if it self-selects who reads it. Unfortunately, AI is catnip to all five of these groups, so the average thread quality is exceptionally low – it serves all five groups badly. Whether some of these people _should_ be served well is a separate question.

- ks2048 3y agoI think pointing out BS is an important part of a useful forum.
- throw10920 3y agoYou might have responded to the wrong comment. binoct's comment is not "pointing out BS" - that requires that you, y'know, actually point out things. binoct's comment is sneering, without any content or thought. Pure fluff.

- adfm 3y agoThe use of “full-stack” was the first thing I noticed. Everyone, please stop using that term. I’m pretty sure, with a high degree of certainty, you don’t know what it means. If you do, there’s a merit badge waiting for you. And can we please stop using “hallucinations” to describe output. Yes, it may look like your tool dropped acid, but that’s not what it is.
- catchnear4321 3y agofull-stack means the ic can take any ticket. do the details beyond that matter?
- adfm 3y agoBuy the ticket, take the ride…
- catchnear4321 3y agofirst you have to be told what you’re buying next. (before that you were given the chance to object to the estimate, but not to change it.)
- adfm 3y agoNo sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind.
- falcor84 3y agoWell, quantity has a quality all its own. Extending the sprint to wait for the person to complete their PhD as part of the "research" part of the ticket would not quite be Scrum.
- Nevermark 3y ago> can we please stop using “hallucinations” to describe output. Right. A better word is confabulation. I.e. pseudomemories, a replacement of a gap in information with false information that is not recognized as such.
