There's some blatant astroturfing from new accounts going on in this thread - I gotta say it's not the best impression

  The irony is that the English is bad in a lot of the astroturf comments… why don’t they use the LLM to generate them? It would probably seem more genuine than the current comments.

  Indeed, I'm not sure how to summon @dang but the number of databricks shill comments in this thread is absurd.

    Yes, this is a cool enough achievement on its own. HN is not the best place for these "testimonials". Unless this is some sort of demo of the LLM itself /s

      If this is a demo then it's a really flimsy one showcasing a bit of poor English if anything

  Seems like they are testing autonomous agents in the wild

  Maybe OP, Data bricks founder, should reply to this comment and answer if he or anyone else in his team paid people to get this post with a not-so-useful-dataset to the top of HN.

    (OP / Databricks cofounder here) I'm not sure what happened but I just sent an email out internally to ask people not to do this. The team might have gotten overly excited by this because they were all part of the creation of the dataset and the model.

      This seems to happen a bit too often tbh on all things Databricks.

  WTF? They don't even invest effort in writing good text. This is either some very enthusiastic crowd of workers, who only know twitter and comment-sections, or a very bad marketing-bot. Makes me wonder if something like this often happens here, and I just never see it.
