I would guess you're not asking a serious question here but if you were feel free to contact me, it's why I put my email address in my profile.

Why are you assuming bad faith?
What gave you the impression I was assuming bad faith? It's off topic to the discussion (which is fine) but can be annoying in the middle of an HN thread.
Without offering any opinion on its merits, if you think justifying this controversial claim is off topic, then so is the claim and you shouldn't have written it.

You said "I would guess you're not asking a serious question here"
You said, "I would guess you're not asking a serious question here," which is to say, you were guessing that the question was asked in bad faith. Or, at any rate, you would, if for some reason the question came up, for example in deciding how to answer it. Which is what you were doing. That is to say, you did guess that it was asked in bad faith. Given the minimal amount of evidence available (12 words and a nickname "__Joker") I think it's reasonable to describe that guess as an assumption. Ergo, you were assuming bad faith.

You brought it up...
Really sorry, if the question came as snarky or if otherwise. Those were not my intent.
Related to AI given all around noise, really wanted to understand kind of contrarian view of monetary aspects.
Once again, apologies if the question seems frivolous.
