    Every single thing about this site is AI generated: the hero images, the text, and even all of the author personas and profile pictures. Think I'm joking? See for yourself.

    Looks like someone recently bought the techjournal.org domain (last change was this year, right before the first articles) and turned it into a slop factory. Weirdly, there are actually a lot of sites doing this exact same thing down to implementation details, so I'm guessing there is probably someone running hundreds or thousands of these things.

    There doesn't seem to be anything notable or new here that wasn't already either described last year or literally announced at Google I/O.

      On the other hand, those links have distracting ads and animations. And the article answers questions that I had based on the Google I/O announcement. (I don't normally read what's reported by rumor sites before the announcement.)

      Despite the prose clearly being AI-generated, in all other respects, it seems... better? I was unable to find a clean, up to date summary of what's known about Aluminum on an actual news site.

      It saves me the trouble of running ChatGPT myself, I suppose?

    The HN title is not clear - Google is NOT killing Aluminum OS
