Feeling inspired by antirez's recent post ("Reproducing Hacker News writing style fingerprinting", https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43705632), I wondered: could I use the HN comment data referenced in that post to create virtual versions of... every user on Hacker News?
A ~week later, here we are: https://lexikon.ai/dataset/hn
The database contains every user who has commented at least 200 words, and when you search for a user, we'll process their history in realtime to create a personalized AI chatbot of them on-the-fly (it'll take a few minutes).
There's no login required, and conversations aren't recorded or stored anywhere, nor are they trained on.
It surprised me at how fun it actually is. Give it a shot, would love to know what y'all think--
