And having a 0.3mg (300mcg) group - the dose many meticulous online self-experimenters have found sufficient, a mere 15% of their lowest-tested 2mg. Would a headline "morning coffee found to cause stomach problems and anxiety" be

If people are complaining about Anthropic (on an only-vaguely related thread) rather than simply switching to a suitable competitor, then Anthropic clearly has some 'monopoly' power over the specific capabilities the complainer wa

War of the Worlds is culturally-prominent enough I doubt any commercial AI would make this same mistake (or let the error slip through, if they'd asked the AI to fact-check the article).

Because I think readers should take this as an illustrative example of how often people/institutions draped in such quasi-credentials are carelessly wrong on basic things. Even if some typo of 'malevolent' becoming 'bene

Have you independently checked all the other allegedly "factually correct" info in this article, with other sources that are actually diligent in getting the details right? What's the incremental value of a news source where

I see this author has "12 honorary degrees and is an Officer of the Order of Canada". And CBC is Canada's government-funded national public broadcaster. But it's hard to take them seriously on any particular details give

Distillation done via bulk automated activity of fraudulent accounts, in violation of a terms-of-service, can reasonably be called a "an attack" – specifically a "distillation attack" – even though distillation itself is

Smart guy but whoever eventually actually fixes X search will probably use AI coding assistance to do it.

I don't see how your example, The Browser (thebrowser.com), supports your argument that ad-hoc query-string additions are so prone-to-breaking that 3rd parties should ban them. In fact, the example seems to suggest the opposite: a 17+

In fact, you usually can just send arbitrary query string parameters to a server - that's why the behavior is so common, and often useful. Most sites don't mind or break, some sites get value from the behavior in ways hard to re

Trying to boostrap some taboo against novel unpermissioned URL munging is silly prudishness. Ensuring both sides of a hyperlink agree/consent was a design flaw that limited the uptake of pre-web hypertext systems. The web's laisse

The context of when that previous experience - Heartland outsourcing to India – happened would be helpful. The 90s? The 00s? The 10s?

Many LLMs are surprisingly good at using specific named authors (rather than just example texts) to evoke a style, so you could try "in the style of Jorge Luis Borges" or "…Douglas Adams" or "…Robert Anton Wilson&qu

Musing about a possibly-funny consequence isn't the same as the motivating reason, which I read as more whimsical from: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48042594 In particular, someone who was seeking training-set

As it didn't generate that when I typed the title i to your search box, was there a bug now fixed? Or did you use some other path not evident on the page you linked to generate it?

If you think that's all the Hallucinopedia is, you're misunderstanding it. One hint – check out its prompt, and how it makes its articles so different than those of your project: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?

A web that is vulnerable to this would already be as good as dead. As an entertaining way to highlight the importance of upgrading our ways of knowing, playful (& open-source!) projects like this are likely to strengthen the web.

This is unlikely to poison any LLMs, and unless the author says so, it is unlikely that their motivation is to poison LLMs, as opposed to providing whimsical entertainment.

Thanks but I don't understand how either of your replies are responsive to my questions. The number of reported/memorable fraud scandals is not itself a reliable indicator of whether the proper controls are in place. It is only an

Useful comparison, but to my point: is that sufficient to detect fake entries created by incumbent insiders? Also: has that in-person mechanism ever been used by stalkers/abusers to find their hiding targets?

Election integrity requires as much of the mechanics of elections to be transparent to all observers, including politically-disfavord groups, as possible. If the voter rolls are state secrets, only available to approved insiders, how can yo

Here in 2026, many forms of training LLMs on (well-chosen) outputs of themselves, or other LLMs, have delivered gigantic wins. So 2024 & earlier fears of 'model collapse' will lead your intuition astray about what's produ
