One interesting thing is that my homie https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ta08131942 https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=ta08131942 made a throwaway account ten days ago, like 'throwaway 08/13/1942' which is the start date of the manhattan project and then he put only a single detailed comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35366484 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35366484 relating OpenAI to the government/intelligence/military

- ftxbro 4y agoooh that makes sense i didn't know it
- sph 4y agoFirst you quote yourself mentioning this CIA conspiracy elsewhere in this thread, then mention this green account, your "homie", with the same conspiracy. I'm not saying you're right or wrong, just it is obvious you two are the same people, but I do not understand creating a throwaway account and then doxing yourself 10 days later. I guess you hoped the throwaway account felt more credible.
- ftxbro 4y ago> just it is obvious you two are the same people Well I'm not the same as them but I see how it looks that way.
- ocdtrekkie 4y agoNobody would've "just guessed" the meaning of that string of numbers in the username like you claim to, lol.
- ftxbro 4y agoWell maybe no one will believe me but I'm a nerd and hacker (we are on hacker news) and I guessed it. I love guessing stuff like that. If you check my account, I'm named ftxbro because my first comment ever was to guess the meaning of a number related to ftx https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34473811 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34473811 If you are so impressed by number guessing you can look at that one and be impressed if you think I am right about it too! Almost no one looked at that comment I think, because I posted it after the thread had scrolled off the front page. When I put that guess, I was so worried that it was such a smart number guess that people would accuse me of being some kind of ftx insider, so I tried to put a disclaimer at the top of that comment with my guess lol.
- DuckFeathers 4y agoIt's the trying hard to defend for me.
- ftxbro 4y agoidk if you have ever been accused of doing something, and you didn't do it, and there is literally no way for you to prove your innocence of it. And the more you try to defend the more others pile on. It feels pretty bad. It feels especially bad if you were even proud and happy that you did a clever thing (like guess the number meaning) and then this very thing that you were proud and happy of (the cleverness) is itself used as the rationalization that you are guilty of something bad (it was too clever to be true). EDIT: maybe it could be possible @dang or some mod could back up that I am saying the truth, to stop the dogpiling and witchhunting me. They could backtrace the ip addresses. Some might say that I just used a VPN to make the throwaway, but if the one who actually made it didn't use one, the mods could see their real account and verify that it wasn't me without revealing who it really was. If that happened, maybe the hunters would say that my account is another of the throwaways of that user on a different IP address, but maybe that would be too much of a stretch of belief.
