You’d send me a contributor agreement, after I’ve contributed, to retroactively ask if I used a LLM to write the code, and if I refused you’d then sue me for nebulous ill-defined damages and for breaching a non-existent contract? So in your head, I could contribute a change that introduces a bug and as a result you could sue me for the time it took you to fix it? … Are you OK? I was hoping for something with a “I’m a big strong serious tough guy” vibe but that’s a bit much. However I guess you can file a civil case for practically anything in some countries, and if you’re retired/unemployed maybe writing this kind of internet police fan-fiction is considered fun? Do another one, this time where it’s not thrown out as a clearly frivolous suit with no legal basis.

    You broke the site guidelines repeatedly in this thread, including by crossing into quite vicious personal attack. I realize that you were provoked, but you were also provoking. I'm not going to ban you for this episode because everyone goes on tilt sometimes. But if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and do what it takes to recalibrate so that you're using the site as intended going forward, we'd be grateful. Edit: actually you went to a real extreme: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47342355 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47342355 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47333590 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47333590 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47331531 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47331531 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47331357 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47331357 Surely you know that you can't do this on HN. "sociopathic piece of shit [...] Do the world a favor and remove yourself" isn't just bannable, it's 100x what we'd ban an account for. You've been a good user generally* so I'm going to put this down to the unfortunate circumstances of this thread, but please don't do it again. (* although you've broken the site guidelines at other times too, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46156715 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46156715, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46132102 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46132102)
