agreed. i have never seen anyone (let alone an assortment) of hacker news users saying "i switched my 2fa to this after seeing how great it was!" Not really sure how one 'switches their 2fa' to an LLM...

Not sure if it applies exactly but this discussion brings to mind this saying...

"The loser of a knife fight dies in the street. The winner dies in the hospital."

The more capital you have, the more purchasing power you have relative to the other players in the capitalist game. There is a fixed amount of purchasing power (the total sum of capital). Increasing currency in circulation does not increase the number of things that can be purchased with that currency, it just changes the distribution of purchasing power.
Additional notes here, the author of the article in this topic clearly indicates on her page that she writes alongside "Taylor Script", her AI counterpart. So now the line is even more explicitly blurred. An AI definitively was involved in the creation of this content... so now the question is, to what degree does the content relate back to real world events? Only the author knows I guess.
So I couldn't find the specific post I was thinking of off hand, and there seems to be about a dozen or so hits on various forum-type sites like Quora/Reddit etc. So... yeah I don't know, maybe it is real? But there has been an instance of someone using an LLM to make a story about an LLM saving their life. So maybe this one is real. Maybe it is not? Who knows. Reality is kind of mushy these days.
Wasn't this revealed as a fraud/fake post from Reddit like 2 months ago?
