I wonder how many one-sentence prompts have made it to the HN front page at this point.

I don’t know, but it’s kind of boring to speculate since computers easily beat us at chess and go.

Preventing computer-based cheating in competitive chess is a big deal (and I assume go also), because spectators tend not to want to watch two computers playing against each other.

"Alternative Terms" was the giveaway.

Ah, now that you mention it, the part at the bottom makes it pretty obvious too:

>Last updated: never

>No further pages. No hidden clauses.

Exactly the sort of cutesy language the LLMs use when they're trying to agree with you. "You got it! Here's a page with simple, easy to understand terms and conditions. No further pages. No hidden clauses. Nothing hidden behind another link."
