That’s an interesting idea. Let’s have them use Opus 4.6 or later versions, or even more advanced AI, just like loot boxes or gacha mechanics. (Laughs)
The text on the home page appears LLM-generated (em dashes, is real) which imo will make it harder to build trust. For something that people are sensitive and confused about, a more human disposition is likely to be helpful. Just my two cents.
Seems like the xkcd [1] for internet infrastructure that was posted earlier [2] should have github somewhere on it, even if just for how often it breaks. Maybe it falls under "whatever microsoft is doing"
The only practical purpose I can think of for farming karma on HN with an LLM would be to amass an army of medium-low karma accounts over time and use the botnet for targeted astroturfing or other mass-manipulation. Eek.
