tl;dr: We apologize for getting caught. Ars Subscriptors in the comments thank Ars for their diligence in handling an editorial fuckup that wasn't identified by Ars.

Just like in the original thread that was wiped ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47012384 ), Ars Subscriptors continue to display lack of reading comprehension and jump to defending Condé Nast. All threads have since be

Incredible. When Ars pull an article and its comments, they wipe the public XenForo forum thread too, but Scott's post there was archived. Username scottshambaugh: https://web.archive.org/web/20260213211721/ht

I wish I had a super-upvote. "OP here" or "Author here" in posts is an obvious one when you see it. (In both cases, it's completely redundant!) As for comments, regurgitating the input too closely and overusing abbr

Well, since we're all talking about sourcing training material to "benchmaxx" for social proof, and not litigating the whole "AI bubble" debate, just the entire cottage industry of data curation firms: https:/

I expect the GitHub Comms and Policy teams will soon update the AUP to permit this kind of automation misuse so long as there is an "owner" attached. Which will still be meaningless in practice. Also, I see the prominent AI promot

LLM-generated prose undermines a social contract of sorts: absent LLMs, it is presumed that of the reader and the writer, it is the writer that has undertaken the greater intellectual exertion. (Cantrill) ≈ The amount of energy needed to

>you're not actually engaging in conversation Users seem to be persistently flagkilling their comments. That doesn't help facilitate effective conversation of LLM critique.

Concerning is the fact that, once initialized, operators of these "agents" (LLMs running in a loop) will leave them running and tasked with a short heartbeat (30 minutes). As for the output of the latest "blogpost", it r

Genuine question: Did OpenClaw (fka Moltbot fka Clawdbot) completely remove the barrier to entry for doing this kind of thing? Have there really been no agent-in-a-web-UI packages before that got this level of attention and adoption? I gu

Yep. Two latest comments are full of LLM tells, plus an LLM-generated Show HN. As usual with modern Claudes and GPT-5s, the output repeats and overemphasizes jargon from the input tokens without clarifying or switching up the wording.

Indeed! Claude will ask me to record my voice and make a sound pack out of it. I look forward to recording such phrases as "More quota please" and "I apologize for the safety violation in my last input".
