Show HN: TechBro Generator – Generate Satirical TechBro Posts

These are funny, but I do note that they start recycling. I’m curious if these are actually being generated or come from a stock library?
_qvu2•6mo ago
They are hardcoded posts. It wasn't worth wiring up an LLM provider for that.
RobRivera•6mo ago
So it is not a generator, it's an rng pulling from a catalogue.

A genuinely fun exercise would be to build a from scratch probabiltiy distribution for token generation based on a corpus of real posts that then fuels a techbro generator.

boscillator•6mo ago
Ah, I thought they were a little too funny to be computer generated. Makes sense.
pavel_lishin•6mo ago
Good thing it's labeled as Satire, lest Poe's Law strike.
OhMeadhbh•6mo ago
AI Truly is taking over the world.
rvz•6mo ago
Now do something more relevant such as an AI bro post generator.
bwfan123•6mo ago
Reminds me of the new-age BS generator [1] which thankfully remains up.

A parody of the LLM era that we are in.

I honestly think this could help you build a following on X lol
impish9208•6mo ago
Okay, but how did this help you scale your B2B SaaS?

Only thing which I am missing here is a techbro trying to sell me revolutionary pod based transportation system, which is just crippled train in some way.
