Its headlines are invented in straight news voice — an MIT CSAIL team editing neural-network weights, Andrej Karpathy's 'HackerTube' video library, a PostgreSQL release delay tied to AI-found bugs — presented with bylines and comment counts as if reported. Why: The build itself changes nothing for your stack, but the artifact is a working demo of how much credibility typography and layout carry: strip the URL and a screenshot of this page is indistinguishable from real tech reporting, fabricated GPT-6 and CVE-2026-98432 headlines included. If you share news screenshots in Slack, decks, or client updates, this is a concrete case where you now need to check the source URL before repeating a headline — and if you build aggregator or dashboard UIs, it shows how much perceived authority comes from masthead, dateline, and byline formatting rather than content. hacker-news side-project web-design media-literacy
