Who says LLMs don't have a sense of humor? All of these entries are funny for several (meta or not) reasons:

- Google kills Gemini Cloud Services (killedbygoogle.com)

- Is it time to rewrite sudo in Zig? (github.com)

- EU passes "Right to Human Verification" Act (europa.eu)

- Why functional programming is the future (again) (haskell.org) [note: that again killed me)

- AI progress is stalling. Human equivalence was a mirage (garymarcus.com) [note: he'll be saying the same thing forever and ever. Doubly funny since it's on the same "page" as llama12-7b running on a contact lens with WASM]

You don’t need a sense of humour to be unintentionally funny. Seriously believing something absurd is a form of humour for outside observers but not the observed.

True! Why some of the greatest comedic performances are actors who play an absurd role straight-as.

One entry would be unintentionally funny, I give you that. 5/ what, 30 entries? That's a pattern.

It’s as much of a pattern as throwing a D6 30 times and getting “1” 5 times. It’s not meaningful, there’s no provable intentionality behind it.

The ones that are funny aren’t even particularly so. Many of them are actually plausible HN submissions which we’re only interpreting as funny because we know they’re not real.
