If you actually read the post you'll see the reasons to call him a liar:
1) faking benchmarks and lying about a model he profited from commercially (ie. fraud)
2) implying that only a few people (like himself) saw COVID coming. This is a lie: it was the New York Times that published a huge article on the coronavirus at the time indicated, and he, of course, didn't see it coming
3) he doesn't just fail to disclose his commercial interests in what he's peddling, he denies them
4) he confidently states that AI builds the next generation of AI, which he can't know, and has not been stated anywhere
The list goes on.
I did actually read the post -- or at least the first two pages, until the increasingly unhinged comments started to get a little redundant and I figured I had gotten the gist.
> implying that only a few people (like himself) saw COVID coming
Nowhere does the post imply this. The post says COVID was an exponential curve, and he thinks that AI is a similar curve. There is nothing in there saying that only he was the one to see this. The comment, and you, are responding to a sentiment that doesn't exist in the document.

Anthropic reports 55% of engineers use Claude for debugging on a daily basis in December[1]. I am not sure how you come to the conclusion that "has not been stated anywhere".
I would respond to your other points but I feel like these are so thoroughly incorrect that I should probably stop here.

And your answer for him faking benchmarks for financial gain? You conveniently left that one out.
It was trivial to debunk two statements in your post just by reading a little bit. I would need to spend more time to verify whether he "faked benchmarks for financial gain", but given your track record on the other points (and how you ignored my response pointing that out) it seems like you are distorting the truth in order to make your argument, so I don't think the additional time investment is worth it here.
