HA, this might be my favorite HN comment. Well done


I don't get it. Can someone explain?


It's a trope I used for a cheap laugh.

It means I am saying something that is not very believable.


Ah, I get it now, thanks!

The model is not available yet, so Google is essentially saying "trust me bro".


US-ian joke. Close enough to plausibly visit, but the international border makes it hard to verify she exists :).


But largely supported by people that would call themselves actual Christians FYI, and not even right wing extremist either.


You know what Jesus said about hypocrites. How they self-identify is unimportant if they harm their neighbor at every opportunity they get.


Because my time is valuable and if the person who sent me something didn't care enough to write it, then I don't care enough to read it.

Bragging about it is weird, but I will use it like I use 'RTFM'.

And detectability - My AI-DAR (radar), is fairly fined tuned but not perfect, so if I make a mistake, oh well, the point is I'm protecting my time.


So how much time do you deem a minimum amount for someone to spend on some unit of work before you're willing to read it? And what technologies are allowed -- are word processors allowed or does it have to be done with a writing instrument like a pencil? What about spell check? Do you care if they had done their research with a Wikipedia or do you prefer card catalog for the really important work?


I'm not sure. Another way to think about it: how _little_ time is someone able to spend on something where you will still be interested in reading it? If someone tells their unattended LLM agent to create a blog, write whatever content will maximize banner ad revenue, and then share each post on Hacker News, would you read it? What if the content is actually interesting in your opinion?


For me, the amount of time could be very minimal. A person can splash some paint on a canvas, tape a banana to a wall, press a shutter, or write 14 syllables and if it's well considered then that can be enough. Time spent just doesn't play into it for me, unless that's actually part of the point.

Yes, I think if one of that content had a headline that interested me I would definitely click on it, because that's already happened!


Why would PayPal acquiring OpenRouter make it any more of a monopoly than it is? Not saying it is or isn't, but OpenRouter isn't even a financial company.


I am saying it is a near monopoly as Stripe is the one that is close to acquiring PayPal in the first place. [0]
