This and the parent are two of the most inciteful comments in a really good thread. (Two others - one calling bullshit on the power of AI and the other calling this a (free) speech problem) And yes.

And perhaps the only way to know is to require a citizens passport to be able to publish.

If you are an AI you don't get to publish. The advantages of non-anonymous publishing are large. I wonder if it is worthwhile Only effbot need worry about rate limits.
