Yeah, don't mind Jeff the Large Language Model.
- Loughla 11mo agoWhat's the point of doing that?
- igleria 11mo agoEroding our sanity little by little, perhaps.
- gosub100 11mo agoI could ask the same thing about many human commenters with irrelevant or as-predictable-as-a-robot talking points.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 11mo agoAt least that question has the possible answer of "an attempt, however misguided, at human connection".
- Loughla 11mo agoYeah but those make sense. They're trying to connect in a safe way. But to have an account that just automatically replies with obvious LLM answers? I don't see a point to that is what I'm saying.
- Jtsummers 11mo agoThere are several accounts doing this now. People are weird, who knows why they do stupid things. https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=alan-jordan13 https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=alan-jordan13 This one has been shadowbanned, for another example.
- 317070 11mo agoEvery now and then, topics on HN are being brigaded by (among others) such accounts. But to do that effectively, you need to build a sizeable amount of accounts with some karma, and I think that's what is tried here with an LLM. Last time I was very suspicious about the discussion, was here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45809866 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45809866 Lots of comments from new-ish accounts.
