I found it kinda interesting, even if it could have been written by an AI with extensive prompting on how to sound human.
I've been pondering a conceptually similar approach for keeping slop out of important git repos. The agent has its own slop repo that it can slop up as much as it likes for R&D, and then I transcribe what works into my clean repo (ensuring I understand it, in the process).
- hypfer 23d agoTbf this is just you - a decent human being that actually has something to say - filling in not just "the blanks" but "the blank". The post of that account trying to build up an identity (see other posts + 0 comments) has nothing to do with that. One could probably also give you words sampled from /dev/urandom and it might spark an actually interesting thought, but that doesn't give urandom any merit. FWIW, I've been using a similar workflow as you describe, though the lines have been blurry at times.
- Retr0id 23d agoI think you're right, but I also think that some of the best ideas come out of urandom, and the rest is just curation. I didn't find it interesting enough to upvote, but I wouldn't downvote it either.
- hypfer 23d agourandom has no financial incentive though. It just is. The same can unfortunately not be said about "making it to the HN front page". But I can see that not everyone is bothered by that as much as I am. Not that I would have any mandate to do so anyway.
