This is... very uncomfortable. An (expanded) AI summary of my HN and reddit usage would appear to be a pretty complete representation of my "online" identity/character. I remember when people would browse your entire comment history just to find something to discredit you on reddit, and that behavior was _heavily_ discouraged. Now, we can just run an AI model to follow you and sentence you to a hell of being permanently discredited online. Give it a bunch of accounts to rotate through, send some voting power behind it (reddit or hn), and just pick apart every value you hold. You could obliterate someone's will to discuss anything online. You could effectively silence all but the most stubborn, and those people you would probably drive insane. It's a very interesting usecase though, filter through billions of comments and give everyone a score on which real life person they probably are. I wonder if say, Ted Cruz hides behind a username somewhere.

  throwaway/anonymous. not just for when discussion of the content not the personality behind it is important.

I put my profile in [0] and it's mostly silly; a few comments extracted and turned into jokes. No deep insights into me, and my "Top 3 Technologies" are hilariously wrong (I've never written a single line of TypeScript!)

That.. seems to just take a few (three or four) random comments that received some attention and then extrapolate an entire profile based on (incorrectly) interpreting their contents? https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ComputerGuru https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/ComputerGuru
