LLMs do seem like a major issue for spam, does hackernews deal with any of this? I presume yes but how do you deal with it if so.

HN users can make 5 comments every 4 hours, and I presume there's some hurdle in the way of making a lot of users as well.

Also they get downvoted and hidden, alongside controversial but correct opinions.

The person who replied to this saying they have multiple accounts is shadowbanned - so clearly, they don't really have multiple accounts.

  • Karma only sorts by popularity. LLMs will do best at that not worst, especially if you use a GPT rather than one of the RLed ones.

  • Has never worked solo. Someone just seeds more accounts, matures them, and then sells them to spammers.
