Thank you, I've been looking for a meaningful way to browse HN on my cyberdeck and this looks perfect.

As an aside, 'meaningful' is an obtuse adjective to use there; and it's typical of text generated by Claude.[0] I seem to see it a lot more frequently than pre-AI (~2022). Maybe my next project will be statistically analyzing word frequencies in HN comments pre-AI and post-AI.

Thanks for you concern, I typed that message out by hand and genuinely meant it. The terseness stems from the use of a mobile phone, not Claude. As it happens, I don't have an Anthropic account, nor do I possess an OpenAI one. If you look at my comment history, you'll notice I've been around for a while (as I noticed, have you).

I think a lot of the focus on AI output poisoning future models' training has left their effects on our reasoning/ vocubulary neglected, which is why I brought it up.

How we define words, what connotations they evince and the qualities they exude, simultaneously limits and enables thought.

hey thanks for trying it out! :) also it would look sick on a cyberdeck!!
