The oracle is not always right :)

'Our first encouter with AI in the form of LLMs, within the product of ChatGPT was very much like an oracle. You ask a question, the oracle speaks, and that is the transaction. '

Chatgpt moment just like google back in the early days truly felt asking an oracle a question.

Mine also got flagged the moment I posted it. First I was shadowbanned, managed to somehow get unbanned then can't even post my show. But here is the reply I got, and it seem to make sense:

''On HN, the idea is for people to submit stories that they ran across and personally found intellectually interesting, not because they have something to promote. It's fine to post your own work, as long as it's interspersed with interesting posts from unrelated sources. But when an account submits promotionally, it feels like they're not participating as a community member, and HN users notice this and flag the posts.

It's best to build up a track record of interesting submissions from unrelated sources, and to intersperse your own articles with those. The software considers submission histories adaptively, so if you do that, your own-posts will eventually stop getting filtered.

If you dig up interesting things from a variety of places, things people haven't run into before, then you'll be perceived as a community contributor rather than someone trying to market something. Particularly good are stories on out-of-the-way topics that rarely or never get attention. The best submissions are the ones that can't be predicted from any existing sequence.

(Note: avoid posting major sites like youtube, twitter, medium, etc., for this purpose, because the software classifies them alongside the promotional posts so they won't help 'dig you out'. Ditto for Show HNs and Ask HNs (text posts) - avoid those until you're in the clear.)''

Are they practicing for when the whole country is underwater? lol

I personally don't understand the ai hate. I don't remember people hating on the internet this much lol

I would love to find out what da vinci would create today if he was alive. He is the maddest genius of all time in my book.

calling AI a hype like it is a vaporware makes me want to read that even less. AI has made a lot of difference last 3 years and will probably do 10x more in the next 4.

But why do agents need a skill to find skills? The security nightmare aside, don't they already have access or the ability to dig into what they need to do

Oh man, lots of dead ideas. Atm attention is more important than ever, cos delivering on ideas got easier. Getting the attention your product needs got harder

space is getting as polluted as our planet.

good catch! committed capital is not same as we raised.

Money has lost all meaning in tech. 122 Billion raise! This is some kind of dream.

Interesting. How does myfi get the data? If I am connecting my card company etc, is it truly local data storage?

Whenever I take a screenshot, it is a race against time to drag it where I want it. I believe I am now faster :)

"We already have programming languages" is the right conclusion. The question is why so much agent tooling is ignoring it.

Oh we are not making it public. It was used as test.

That's actually a great idea for a demo. Working on it. We have a few profiles built out already (Paul Graham, Gabriel Pickard) and more planned. The app supports generation with or without a voice profile applied for side by side comparison.

A snowden pardon would be good.

Anthropic wouldn't be anthropic with claude. Most engineers now actively use it to build, myself included. I design and build our actively with it.

You can spot AI writing now. Not because it's bad, but because it all sounds the same. Same cadence, same transitions, same careful optimistic closer.

The problem isn't tone. It's that your writing voice is made of dozens of interwoven patterns: sentence rhythm, punctuation habits, where your analogies come from, how you build and close an argument. A system prompt captures maybe 10% of that. The model smooths out the rest.

Anthropic has built something really powerful. I don't see them failing, like failing. fading? possible.

I agree with you. I have a rule in the house about the kids only eating one sweet a day. But guess what?

No way to verify. Relying on the humans here to self censor has never worked in the history of man. But the idea in itself is good. HN is for human to human conversation.

I'm "detail-oriented" but you hate 'vibing'? I would argue it is made for you. Up your with AI. Lucky for you being detail oriented means you can use the technology of today in ways people with adhd can't.

On the job front, it has never been harder. But keep applying, don't give up or get discouraged.

Exactly. The tool isn't the problem. The effort is. Wikipedia didn't make research worse. Copy-pasting Wikipedia without reading it did. Same pattern, different tool.

The real issue is that the social contract is broken because LLM output is attempted to be passed off as human work.

I don’t think writing with AI makes a creation "worse." If anything, it makes it better, if you bring genuine idea and imagination to it first.

The stigma comes from people being lazy and letting the AI do the heavy lifting of thinking. That’s where the "social contract" breaks. But using AI as a multiplier for your own voice and ideas isn’t "subpar"—it’s efficient.

If we start playing "whack-a-mole" with punctuation to find AI, we’re missing the point. The question isn’t what tool was used, but how much of the human's "creation" is actually in there.
