This is just absurd.

You can just tell in this thread who really hasn't used these models much at all.

what's absurd? i haven't claimed it's not capable of this, just that the predictions seem more tailored to elicit a certain recognition from humans rather than chosen based on an honest attempt to predict a possible future HN homepage. Since the prompt apparently didn't include such a modifier, and as far as I know Gemini isn't trained by default to do so, I call shenanigans.
