I would be the author of the first one
"Ask HN: How do you prevent ad-injection in AR glasses?"
Things that I haven't thought but, after seeing it, makes total sense. Scary.
2040 HN:
"Ask HN: How do you prevent ad-injection in my brain implant?"

Hot take: regular old source code is just compiler prompting.
