Comment on Ask HN: Are technical blogs dead?

Comments

I recently launched a hackers' blog aggregator at http://tinkeri.ng (note the layout switcher top-right)

The thing about Tinkering is it's a place to pickup on people's passions.

It's still important to be able to think and write. You can really put yourself on the cutting edge of things. And then you can translate that into better prompts.

The more I think about it, many of the questions people ask here on HN are very much already answered through prompting. That's sort of weird. And if you want a blog post on something, just ask an AI and they'll be pulling from blog posts anyway.

The issue is "Model Collapse" and synthetic data as outlined here: https://share.gemini.google/izx1TAOuSZc5 - my questions there were actually posed here on HN beforehand https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49536605 I just went and asked C3PO about it afterward. The commenter could have done the same.
