Which doesn't really explain why all the comments of the OP/author are flagged and dead... competition at work?

HN auto-flags comments that look like they're generated by an LLM, and the author's flagged comments definitely have those telltale signs.

  • Huh? Is this a new policy? What's your source for this ?

    • It's been their policy for a while now. Source is dang himself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340079.

      > Can you write by hand any text that you plan to post to HN? Here's an important tip we send to users about this:

      > Write any text that you post to HN by hand. Don't use an LLM to generate any of it (not even a tiny bit, including to edit or spruce it up). Reason: the community is super fussy about this right now, and LLM language has a certain quality that is generating quite some backlash when it appears on HN itself. This is a big dividing line at present!
