> Is your chat app asynchronous? As in sending a public message for an offline user?
Ah, so DieWithMe is an interesting, but different concept.
With Bored Chat, it's simply a chat app where you interact via an iMessage like UI. The difference is that all your chat logs (your chat history) are viewable to the world on your profile page...and on a main "activity" feed.
So Bored Chat is basically chat, but with no privacy whatsoever!

I wonder if humans could, or should, help this evolutionary process along.

FWIW You may be interested in an app I'm building which allows people who work remotely (or in remote places) to socialize with other people who work remotely. The idea is to allow people such as yourself who are interested in tech to have "water cooler"-style conversations even if they are removed from the tech scene.
Feel free to give it a go: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/water-cooler-chat/id94476300...
You might find some interesting people on there to talk to, it's still early days and currently only my friends are using it so far, but we're a friendly, interesting bunch of people :)

Did anyone else get a brief surge of adrenaline thinking your username was for some reason on the front page of HN?
* where does the change sit from a user perspective?
* what are the bookends of the scope?
* how big is the PR?
* etc.
Once I'm "in" and understand what it does, I pepper the AI with questions:
* Why did the author do this?
* I dont understand this?
* This looks funky, can you have a look?
* etc.
The more questions I ask, the more the AI will (essentially) go "oh, I didn't think of that, in fact, looks like the issue was way more serious than I first thought, let me investigate". The more I ask, the more issues AI finds, the more issues AI finds, the more issues I find. There's no shortcuts to quality control -- the human drives the process, AI is merely (and I hate to use this term but I will) a...force multiplier.
