If you're not familiar with Steve Yegge, this is his classic rant style. It might not be your cup of tea, but it's definitely more substantial than "AI generated blogspam", and I think you should point out where exactly you think the hallucinations are for everyone if you think it is.

>Nvidia buying all their employees solid gold full-size Wall Street bull statues as a little holiday thank-you gift.

I can't find any source for this claim.

>Although Elon’s proprietary LLM is still held up in making sure it helpfully tells advertisers to go have marital relations with themselves

I can't find where Grok is setting up marriages between advertisers.

>Zuck chose not to execute the employee who leaked it.

LLAMA was leaked by someone who applied for the weights and not an employee.

>investors have still managed to raise roughly 2.3 quadrillion dollars to dump into AI startups.

This number is hallucinated.

>This resulted in approximately 23,342,971 news articles about how you should hide in your basement because they’d created Skynet

Another hallucinated number.

>and it was discovered that the board had accidentally fired a deepfake of him

Deepfakes are not related to this event. Hallucination due to being related to AI.

>Real Sam pointed back and said, famously, “No, YOU are the one who is fired!”

This quote is hallucinated.

I could keep going. Every few lines you will encounter something that is made up or wrong.

It's not hallucinated, it's not written by AI, it's creative, tongue-an-cheek writing by a person who has literally decades of prior art in this very style on his blog. Try reading it with these statements held as truth and see how much sense your post makes then.

This is classic Steve Yegge hyperbole. He's been ranting like this for decades[0].

His (accidentally public) rant comparing Google and Amazon business practices is a classic[1]. In it he says, "Jeff Bezos is an infamous micro-manager. He micro-manages every single pixel of Amazon’s retail site." Surely no one would take that literally.

You can't be serious

There was a surreal scandal recently driven by the "revelation" that the events described in a standup comic's routine were all made up.

This is of course also true of every other standup comedy routine in history, but it was only a scandal for Hasan Minhaj.

There appears to be a breed of modern people who aren't capable of understanding the concept of humor. Unfortunately for Minhaj, those people were drawn to his act as an expression of piety, which isn't what it was.

it seems they are :D

Drax, is that you?

If LLMs could hallucinate Zuck executing someone they would be infinitely funnier.

After downvoting the parent, it occurred to me that I was basically picking on a handicapped person. So I felt compelled to vote it up instead, to help redress the heartlessness of my fellow HN'ers as well as my own. "Be the light you want to see in the world," that sort of thing.

That doesn't mean my initial vote was wrong, though; it just means I felt bad for the author.
