I suspect most of those comments on llms like the parents are generated by anthropic and openai to shape the discussion/mindset
They always give off the same astroturfing vibes that reddit became infested with after the early 2010s (just look at it's comment history)
Ofc unprovable for users. Ycombinatior could try to, but it'd just become a cat/mouse game which they'd likely lose because of the incentives

I checked one. Old account, nuanced takes, and shitting on everyone equally. The perfect HN user!
Ah, I really walked into that one. Yeah, the phrasing + placement of the remark implied that all comments are artificial.
That was not my actual intent, it was poorly expressed by me. I was specifically talking about the account which created the comment colinhb responded to. That'd make it the... Grand Grand Grand grandparent now I think?
That's not necessary. Sometimes we make choices and we feel the need to justify them in vivid flamewars regardless of how arbitrary. Vi vs emacs or amd vs intel, now anthropic vs openai.
We love to take sides, to belong to a small community of peers, no?
