  Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News? You've done it quite a bit and we're trying for more substance here.

    Could you please not have a double standard and flag gamesbrainiac comment too? I'm not strongly against flagging my comment, it's effectively void of substance (zero meaning). But if you flag zero meaning comments, you should even more flag negative meaning comments. By that I mean flagging most of logical fallacies, bullshits, cargo cults, echo chambers, and therefore half of comments on A(G)I topics. By that I mean flagging most of logical fallacies I'm currently working on a tool to automate this.

        Artificial general intelligence, the graal of computer science.

      I understand the desire for consistency, but moderation can't be consistent because we don't see everything that gets posted here. It's particularly difficult for moderation to see into the future—the comment you mention didn't exist when I replied to you.

        Make sense, what do you think about negative meaning comments ?

          I'd have to see specific examples to say anything meaningful.
