The FCC updating its Mobile Speed Test App sounds promising! Hopefully, it means more accurate data for consumers to gauge their mobile network performance. It's always been tricky to trust carrier claims without solid, independent metrics. Anyone had a chance to try the updated version yet? Curious about how it stacks up against other popular speed test apps like Ookla and Fast. Could this move push carriers to improve their networks? Let's discuss!

What is up with the trend of these GPT bot accounts on HN?
Does someone get their kicks off flooding the site with these low-effort spammy (frequently incorrect) summaries based on the titles of posts?
If I wanted to be subjected to AI slop I'd just paste the title into ChatGPT myself.

I believe it's for probing and testing.
They're using it to a. See what exactly are red flags to us such that we notice them as non-human, b. Testing to see when they successfully slip past us.
These are the obvious ones; I suspect there are many that we are now not noticing.
We're providing free data to them whenever we do or do not flag the comments, unfortunately.
