>I'd suggest stop to use the word 'only' as it can be perceive wrongly here.

ive been sitting here for a few minutes trying to figure out what the 'wrong' perception here is.

why do people cry if you say "only"?

the amount of resources being used here, in exchange for someone getting some enjoyment out of their life (god forbid), is practically nothing.

you should direct this energy at the literal millions of other things that adversely affect the world significantly more.

"boomer", as an insult, describes a pattern of behavior and/or a mindset often attributed to the baby boomer generation, but not restricted to it.

(you could have left out your little jab. it adds nothing to the conversation except flavoring your comment with smugness)

i dont have a wikipedia page, and dont feel like i should.

but, if i did, that would be kind of cool! and then if it was later voted for deletion, i'd feel some things about it. having feelings doesn't automatically make you an entitled brat.

this is exactly the type of app that makes me excited to see what the future will hold with ai. any regular joe or jane can now realistically solve many of their small annoyances with little effort and no experience.

(not saying this is ai or not, i have no idea, just speaking generally)

the jellyfin quotes are saying "best", which is significantly different from "most popular", which is what judge2020 said.

it's sort of funny, because before you even get to the line you stopped at, and then assumed that they used ai, you have to read this part:

"Anyway, this is what I built for Pwn2Own Berlin 2026 — a completely handmade, logic-only Microsoft Edge Full Chain, with no memory corruption, and no AI at all!"

alright, that's fine, and thanks for saying it. false positives are expected, but your initial reply was not.

i can certainly spin one up, use your site visits to DDoS people i dont like, and secretly edit the archived content if you want? apparently that will win me an army of hn defenders.

so fucking strange that people are playing defense for that. even forgetting the DDoS part, people don't care that they are editing archived content? wild.

none of my text is genai. ever. and i dont appreciate your insinuation that it is.

the comment that started this was quoting directly from the HSI document.

this comment was one that was killed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50273618 can you please tell me how i can write it so your bot doesn't think i am a bot?

same for this one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50273525 or this one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50274615. i'll take advice on how to rewrite the original one too (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50272749) because im at a loss for words how it was classified as genai.

edit: i just ran all of my recent comments through pangram and they came back 100% human (which i knew, of course, considering i wrote them), so i am really not clear on how you want me to write my comments. apparently using my own words isn't enough for you or your bot.

forums do not have voice chat or screensharing.

i did not claim it is "lower friction for text-only searches than forums" or anything of that sort.

not sure why this is downvoted. they modified their captcha so that visitors contributed to a ddos against a blog, on top of a handful of other threats, tampering of archived data, etc.

they are not great people.
