It’s relevant if the drivetrain is part of your identity. People like the vroom vroom. I drive an EV but I’m not about to ban others from driving what they want.

He’s the one that said it was in the guidelines, not me.

We were in fact worried about being locked up.

Where you apparently have to search for the text from one person to see if speech is allowed or not.

> His word is the law.

Well now that sounds dystopian.

That would be the idea of the static page. Save people time from reading an article they aren’t actually interested in.

There would be no comments, just a summary of the contents of the post with a link to post.

Not according to the guidelines and the upvotes the comment received.

That creates a ton of traffic to LLMs for the same summary. Why not have one person do it and post it?

Recently I received a lot of negative feedback from a few HNers about an AI summary I posted about a complex immigration concept (changes to non-Immigrant visas in the US). The post received a number of upvotes but the comments were negative from Anti-AI folks. I’ve seen a number of negative posts about AI here as well. Would there be any interest in a static site that would regularly scan the public HN posts from their API and generate AI summaries of the content without a comment section?

This could be said about any hobby. Why should people that like to read buy physical books? Why should people that like to take photographs print on film? Etc.

It was convenience so dozens or hundreds of people didn’t have to. Seriously regret trying to be helpful here.

Your comment adds way less value than the one I generated, reviewed and posted. I refuse to be bullied by people that are anti-AI.

They’re free to delete it. I think it adds value.

Again, please point out what’s wrong in the post and I will correct it.

She didn’t commit the DUI in Canada, she did in the US. We were in the country for three days (Victoria) and didn't even have a car, so she couldn’t have recommitted the offense even if she wanted to, which she obviously wouldn’t want to.

Security screening, not border control at airports etc.

Can you point out what part of the summary is wrong? You’re welcome to write your own summary that’s as detailed as the one I posted with any necessary corrections and I’ll delete my post.
