Show HN: Are You in the Weights?

pryelluw

Well, according to this I’m a Mexican painter/actor/footballer. Love it.

Bahaha apparently only in their hallucinations. I’m not a professional rugby player or a neurologist.

hyperpape

I’m a hallucination. None of these are me. Perhaps the closest is DeepSeek v4: > Hyperpape is a user on the LessWrong forum, known for thoughtful comments on rationality and philosophy. I studied philosophy, so maybe, except I don't post on LessWrong, and I'm not a rationalist. https://www.intheweights.com/p/hyperpape

It looks like something perfect, what is its purpose?

I’m the top one! Interesting to see the hallucinations creeping in across the weaker models.

"George McBay" > Llama 3.2 1B says > American actor, best known for his roles in films such as 'The Big Lebowski' and 'The Big Lebowski 2'. Nailed it! /s But even the entries that aren't marked as likely hallucinations are wrong for me on this site. > George McBay > African American chemist and educator No, that's Henry Cecil McBay (no direct relation that I'm aware of). Google Search's AI mode does match actual me, but the information it spits out is all mixed up with information on another person who has my same name (also no relation that I'm aware of) and is also a software developer.

well, the lower confidence ones got my pseudonym, the higher confidence ones missed entirely and attributed it to a prominent speedrunning streamer. My real name was attributed to a non-existent famous midfield footballer

There is a 'hallucinations' section on the page, which suggests that the items above that section are not hallucinated. I highly doubt that. I am, as far a I know the only person in the world with my name. So I searched for my name. I am none of many things this tool tells me I am, for example a right wing politician, a journalist,l and a researcher on solar fuels.

Interesting. Claude Opus 4.8 and Gemini 3.1 Lite kind of got it right, but when I ask the model directly, they say they don't know. I'm curious how the tool is doing the correlation.

NoMoreNicksLeft

My username shows up as me. My real name is apparently shared by more real people than I figured (surname is an oddball). That guy's a CEO and billionaire. Go figure, never heard of him until just now.

I have a unique last name (maybe that's why), but pretty much nailed it: David Titarenco Software engineer and open-source contributor 340 strength · Top 20% GPT-5.5 says Software engineer and writer known for work on developer tools, systems, and programming- related articles. Claude Opus 4.8 says Software engineer and entrepreneur known for web/JavaScript development work and contributions to open-source projects and tech startup communities.

dmix

First response for me was also a hallucinated Scottish soccer player who doesn't exist

kevin42

Can you share the prompt you're using for each model?

Strangely only "Kimi" has accurately heard of me. Gemini thinks I'm a German-language version of the stuff I do in English, Kimi recognizes my long-defunct blogging about technology and economics.

Well, guess we'll have to wait a bit to see if we're in the weights... I got a 429, as I'm sure many others are (and thus mashing retry).

Alive-in-2025

This is a clever trick to get you to enter your real name. ;-) I entered mine, I was on the page kind of, there was some kind of exaggeration of me as the last one. I was surprised someone else in my family who is a kind of actual famous person was not found. It seems to have a lot of recency bias based on that.

Apparently gpt 5.5 thinks I’m a metal folk musician, i wish.

Love the graphics, the 8-bit style of the people's portraits is really well done. Are those AI generated?

An they nailed me, as soon as I clicked the link I saw “rate exceeded”
