Damn. I was quite skeptical about this whole libera thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27208073 This kind of abuse proves that the split was warranted.

This happened with ChatGPT a few weeks ago.

This is just repeating what other sites reported in broken english (not sure if they tried some translate-and-back obfuscation?), original source had large discussion at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32023868

Its funny that both of these things happened at almost the same time but reminds me of the chat found earlier today https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32458744 which has some great comments regarding this and the (g)libc relationship.

Thanks for also pointing this out.

I don't think you were working for this company, but this infamous case study was also a pivot to chat bots:

I believe the title was changed afterwards to better reflect the article's content. You can see lots of comments that think it's a chat app.

That's unfortunate for them, because while they may not have been the users they wanted (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12306284) there were literally millions of them.

But feel free to look up any older thread on the language. It’s the musk of PLs.

They reused the URL from their closing announcement (old discussion here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1095424 ) presumably to correct the "wrong impression" people might have got from the old text.

What are these people playing at?
