These are funny, but I do note that they start recycling. I’m curious if these are actually being generated or come from a stock library?

They are hardcoded posts. It wasn't worth wiring up an LLM provider for that.

Ah, I thought they were a little too funny to be computer generated. Makes sense.

Well, then it passed the Turing Test because they are indeed computer-generated (ChatGPT). It's just hardcoded in the HTML file.

So it is not a generator, it's an rng pulling from a catalogue.
A genuinely fun exercise would be to build a from scratch probabiltiy distribution for token generation based on a corpus of real posts that then fuels a techbro generator.

Okay, but how did this help you scale your B2B SaaS?

Reminds me of the new-age BS generator [1] which thankfully remains up.
Only thing which I am missing here is a techbro trying to sell me revolutionary pod based transportation system, which is just crippled train in some way.

Good thing it's labeled as Satire, lest Poe's Law strike.

Sometimes you can't be too careful.

This post jumped to HN's 1st rank in 10 minutes but then it was moved to 100 out of nowhere while it was trending. I think HN mods (or algo) didn't like it so it was moved out.
Anyway, it was a good run though!

Now do something more relevant such as an AI bro post generator.

I guess that's the pivot I need. Will consider it.

A parody of the LLM era that we are in.
