| Simon, this HN post didn't need to be about Gen AI. This thing is really inescapable those days. |

| Parallel thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47311484#47312829 - "I've always been fascinated by this, but I have never known what it would be useful for." I should have replied there instead, my mistake. |

| ▲ | stavros an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | I don't know man, I didn't see anyone say "this post didn't need to be about <random topic>", HN has just become allergic to LLMs lately. I'm excited about them and I think discussion on how to combine two exciting technologies are exactly what I'd like to see here. | | |

| ▲ | bakugo an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Has there ever been any other topic that was not only the subject of the majority of submissions, but also had a subset of users repeatedly butting into completely unrelated discussions to go "b-but what about <thing>? we need to talk about <thing> here too! how can I relate this to <thing>? look at my <thing> product!"? You can't just roll in to a random post to tell people about your revolutionary new AI agent for the 50th time this week and expect them not to be at least mildly annoyed. | | |
| ▲ | stavros an hour ago | parent [-] | | I'm with you, but he wasn't telling us about his agent, he was saying "this is a cool technology and I've been wanting to use it to make a thing". The thing just happened to be LLM-adjacent. | | |
| ▲ | bakugo 29 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Almost all of his comments "just happen" to be LLM-adjacent. At some point it stops "just happening" and it becomes clear that certain people (or their AI bots) are frequenting discussion spaces for the sole purpose of seeking out opportunities to bring up AI and self-promote. | | |
| ▲ | yokoprime 3 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | You are not reading his material i suppose? It’s really one of the better sources for informed takes on llms | |
| ▲ | stavros 27 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | Simon has been here since way before LLMs were a thing, and it's fairly obvious (to me, at least) that he's genuinely excited about LLMs, he's not just spamming sales or anything. |

| What topics are allowed in your opinion? I very much enjoyed Simon’s comment as it is a use case I also was thinking of. |
