It’s also possible this is the first iteration of the loop described in the “A practical loop for training taste” section. Which would be less of a “prank” and more of “using the HN audience to feed the machine”.
The loop (some points snipped for brevity):
> 1. Pick one high-leverage artifact from your week. A paragraph…
> 2. Generate 10 to 20 versions with an AI model.
> 3. For each version, write one sentence that starts with "fails because..."
> 4. Rewrite the strongest version with a hard constraint…
> 5. Ship the final version somewhere real and observe what happens.
