You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful. You're welcome here, but we're really trying for a different kind of internet discussion, so we can't have commenters breaking the rules so badly.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4912980649129806-replyInvalid DatelstoddI am sorry, will refrain from commenting for a while. edit: until I get hold of my senses.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4913508749135087-replyInvalid DatedangComments moved to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49119065, which is currently on the frontpagereplyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4912853049128530-replyInvalid DatedangCan you please not post AI-generated or AI-edited comments to HN? It's not allowed here - see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#generated and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340079.Of course, it's impossible to know for sure what was LLM processed or not, but some of your posts (like this one) have been getting classified that way.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4912851849128518-replyInvalid DatedangPlease don't cross into personal attack or post flamebait or take HN threads on generic tangents.

Or, of course, it's always an option not to post.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4913040349130403-replyInvalid DateAustinDevClaiming he's not an Effective Altruist is a stretch. He's been tightly coupled with that movement for nearly a decade.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4913118649131186-replyInvalid DatedangSorry, I can see how what I wrote wasn't clear. Let me put it this way: you can criticize EA without attacking a specific person. What you did in the GP comment was to make a statement attacking the person and then mention EA as an afterbit. That made your comment a personal attack, which is not ok on HN.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4917582749175827-replyInvalid DateAustinDevFair enough. Thanks for clarifying.replyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4920320849203208-replyInvalid DatepotsandpansIt's good he is getting it out in the public, on record. He'll lie, conveniently ignore techno fascist astroturfing, selectively moderate on hot topic issues and then point to some wabisabi philosophy on both sideism.The majority of top threads on hn on any given days are legit flame wars and llm accusation mud slinging.But you cant say Dario Amodei is an effective altruist.
