This is one of the greatest LLM creations I've ever seen. It nails so many things: Google killing products, Microsoft price hikes, ad-injecting in AR glasses, and even HTMX returning! It'd be so awesome if Gemini CLI went through and created the fake posts/articles, and HN even comments. Perhaps a bit much to ask of it?

Was going to say - it would be fascinating to go a step further and have Gemini simulate the actual articles. That would elevate this to level of something like an art piece. Really enjoyed this, thank you for posting it. I'm going to go ask Claude Code to create a functional HyperCard stack version of HN from 1994 now... Edit: just got a working version of HyperCardHackerNews, will deploy to Vercel and post shortly...

  I didn't even try to click through to the articles, so I was just disappointed I couldn't read the comments.

  First let’s have it create maybe 100 more entries, then have people vote on which are the best 30, THEN put all the effort into creating all the fake articles and discussions. As good as the current 30 are, maybe the set could still be made twice as good. And have a set of short “explain xkcd”-style entries somewhere so people can read up on what the joke is, when they miss a specific one. Then send it to The Onion and let them make a whole business around it or something. Definitely one of the best HN posts ever. I mean come on!: FDA approves over-the-counter CRISPR for lactose intolerance (fda.gov)

    Save some of the not-top-30 posts, and add in a sprinkling of Hiring, Show HN, YC Summer 2035 acceptances/rejections, or product launches - of founders who just vibe coded something based on a presumed 6 week ago version of this future HN universe.

Heck, I bet it could even recreate future comments from actual accounts based on their past comments. After all, if an AI can roast your HN comments with such pinpoint accuracy, it can probably impersonate you pretty well too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42857604 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42857604
- ewoodrich 10mo ago
  At least in my case, the "pinpoint accuracy" of that roast made for a pretty uninspired result, it seemed to be based on like 4 or 5 specific comments seemingly chosen at random. Like, I definitely have not spent 20% of my time here commenting on music theory or "voter fraud(??)" (that one seems to be based on a single thread I responsed to a decade ago)? ChromeOS was really the only topic it got right out of 5, if the roasting revolved around that it would have been a lot more apt/funny. Maybe it works better with an account that isn't as old as mine? I find the front page parody much better done. Gemini 2.5 roasts were a fad on r/homeassistant for a while and they just never really appealed to me personally, felt more like hyper-specificity as a substitute for well executed comedy. Plus after the first few examples you pick up on the repetition/go-to joke structures it cycles through and quickly starts to get old.

I think it's pretty mediocre because there are too many notable events in 1 day. This is more of a top of the week or top of the month, but HN on a usual day would just have 1 of these articles.
- bigiain 10mo ago
  Sure, but it's kinda like cartoon/comic art. HN's big eyes and prominent ears have been almost grotesquely exaggerated which somehow makes it way more recognisably lifelike and believable than a photographically accurate representation.

Agree 100%. Google killing a service sent me over the top in laughter. But, it's so on the nose on multiple topics. I dare say it's more accurate than what the average human would predict. I would love to see this up against human predictions in some sort of time capsule.
- nottorp 10mo ago
  > I dare say it's more accurate than what the average human would predict. Humans have always failed at predicting qualitative improvements like the internet. Most scifi is just quantitative improvements and knowledge of human nature. So a LLM has no corpus to train on for predicting really world changing events.
  - nottorp 10mo ago
    And ... come to think of it ... Every single "prediction" is something easily recognizable in current HN threads. How can you call that a prediction? Simple question: if you feed the "AI" the HN front from 2017, what "predictions" will it make? Besides Google canceling yet another product of course. Would they all be about crypto?

Here it is: https://sw.vtom.net/hn35/news.html https://sw.vtom.net/hn35/news.html I downloaded the original article page, had claude extract the submission info to json, then wrote a script (by hand ;) to run feed each submission title to gemini-3-pro and ask it for an article webpage and then for a random number of comments. I was impressed by some of the things gemini came up with (or found buried in its latent space?). Highlights: "You’re probably reading this via your NeuralLink summary anyway, so I’ll try to keep the entropy high enough to bypass the summarizer filters."

  Pretty amazing! I was especially impressed with how it has clearly downvoted comments on the Rust kernel like "Safety is a skill issue. If you know what you're doing, C is perfectly safe." Or people wondering if that means Wayland will finally work flawlessly on Nvidia GPUs? What's next, "The Year of Linux on the Desktop"? Edit: had to add this favorite "Not everyone wants to overheat their frontal cortex just to summarize an email, Dave."
- reed1234 10mo ago
  This is awesome! This is a small thing; all the comments have one child. It would feel more natural with some entropy. And the original/derivative doesn’t span full width on mobile. Fixing that too would make it look very authentic.

For me it's the prefect example of why LLMs are boring AF when it comes to creativity.

I find that supremely boring.
- Shocka1 10mo ago
  As a mid/senior level engineer I feel the same - this kind of content just plain sucks, and seeing Gemini respond with the karma comment is icing on the cake. Not that long ago on HN there were things being posted regularly about hardware and software that I would define as no less than insane side projects. Projects that people using LLMs today couldn't do in a lifetime. Those posts are still up here and there, but very few compared to the past. They were creative and hard, if not impossible feats. So when I see content like this post, with comments underneath it saying "it's the greatest AI content they've ever seen," it's a sad day. Maybe I'm just an old curmudgeon hah!
