Yes, it takes effort to do something clever with an LLM because LLMs can do only one type of "humor". And it's precisely the kind of humor I see everywhere on this website. Tell me that you sincerely laughed at this:

> “I bought a house through an app called Open-something and now I don't know if I own a home or a model checkpoint.”

I don't even know what this means. No human has read this and thought to themselves "this is a funny joke, let's keep it". Or how about this:

> “I tried to make a restaurant reservation and accidentally fine-tuned a language model. OpenFatigue finally made me feel seen.”

...or this:

> “My open-source project got forked into a closed product called OpenMyProject. Now I just lie on the floor.”

This is another example of "Claude make me a joke website for HN points", with zero effort behind it. There's so much real, human work in the /new queue, and we upvote this...

Hmm. I sense your dismay and while I understand the underlying argument, I would like you to offer you a nugget of wisdom bestowed to me by level 9 monk of the Tibetan variety.

As I have reached the high doors of the oft-closed monastery and sought wisdom of the doorkeeper I was gently ushered in to a courtyard, where a line was already forming to meet the enlightened one.

Patiently I have waited for the other fools to utter their nonsense at the poor master and, eventually, my time has come.

I have asked:

Lord, how do I know it is funny?

You know what he said?

'People laugh.'

Such a ripoff.
