yukapero··on Ask HN: How do we build a new Human First online community in the LLM age?
sure, here is the original input i used for that reply.

original japanese intent: それがまさに工夫した点で、あなたは "I" すらも大文字で書かない翻訳をするLLMなんてありえないと思ったんじゃない?だからこそ、全部小文字で書くように指示することで、AI臭を抑えることができると思ったんだ。こんな感じで、もはやオープンなコミュニティでAIを徹底的に排除するのは多分不可能なレベルに既に到達してると思う

google translate version: That's exactly the point I made. You thought there would be no LLM translating without even capitalizing "I," right? That's why I thought that by instructing everyone to write everything in lowercase, I could reduce the AI smell. In this way, I think we've already reached a level where it's probably impossible to completely eliminate AI in an open community.

an interesting note: you can see that the llm version i posted earlier is much more context-aware than the google translate one. the llm added phrases like "meta-discussion" and "mimicking flaws" because it understood the vibe and history of our entire chat, not just the raw text

yukapero··on Ask HN: How do we build a new Human First online community in the LLM age?
that was exactly the point. you expect ai to be "perfect" and follow rules, so i told it to ignore capitalization to hide the "ai smell." the fact that we're even having this meta-discussion proves my argument: we've already reached a level where it's basically impossible to keep ai out because we can just prompt it to mimic our flaws
yukapero··on Ask HN: How do we build a new Human First online community in the LLM age?
exactly. the difference is intent. i’m just using it for the translation, but the "what" and "why" are coming from me. slop happens when you let the ai do the thinking too
yukapero··on Ask HN: How do we build a new Human First online community in the LLM age?
dead end. human verification just leads to a digital prison of ids

the real issue isn't bots, it's humans using ai. i'm doing it right now. English isn't my first language so i used an llm to translate my thoughts for this post. if the tech is this useful for bridging gaps, you can't really filter for a "soul" anymore. the line is already gone.

scraping is a lost cause too. if a human can read it, a model can ingest it

i guess the only fix is to stop scaling. go back to small, private, invite-only groups. intentional friction and making things "inconvenient" is the only filter left that actually works

yukapero··on Ask HN: What game engine would you recommend for vibe coding?
To be fair, Unity is already building a suite for exactly this. "Unity AI" is aimed at letting you prompt your way through development instead of menu-diving
yukapero··on Ask HN: Does automatic multilingual support make sense for a launch platform?
Interesting idea Im checking it from Japan with my system language set to Japanese, but the product descriptions are still showing up in English. The platform UI itself seems to be localized, so this might be a bug.

As for the token costs, have you looked at Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite (preview)? The quality is solid and it's dirt cheap: $0.25 per 1M input and $1.50 per 1M output. Unless you have massive traffic, it would probably only cost a few dollars a month. Seems like a very reasonable overhead for the value it adds

good work! this is like Wplace but in 3D
yukapero··on Show HN: Remotely use my guitar tuner
Tried it, dope idea. No Pi or tuner req'd really. Why we all love these goofy hacks so bad
