A comment on GPT-4 is getting worse over time, not better. Parent comment

Then why comment? I'm not trying to be an ass, but this is literally the only comment you've made in this thread. The linked article is a Twitter thread. If you don't have Twitter, fine, move on to the next thing you can actually comment on.

Person A offers a reason why we may want to be slightly more skeptical than normal about this information. Person B suggests we can pretty easily look past that. Person C (you) injects themselves in the conversation simply to say that they can't add anything to the conversation. The closest example I can think of that is equally cringe-inducing is two people talking about a show and an unasked third party leaning in to add, "well, I don't have a television so I can't comment."

I don't think the comment is unwarranted - it happened to me the other day: someone refers me to a particular Twitter post and I can't access it without a Twitter account. I don't know if it's a glitch or deliberate but it makes referring people to Twitter similar to referring them to Facebook posts (which is not really practiced on HN). Times change, I guess.

I do think it'd be nice if people mostly posted links that were accessible to the general public. At least paywalled articles usually have a link in the comments where they can be read. Many times tweets could even be pasted as text into a comment to make them accessible.

Twitter accounts are free and I think it takes about 60 seconds to make one, so for all intents and purposes a Twitter thread is publicly accessible.

Last I heard they required a phone number which isn't free. I even created a couple accounts a long time ago, but they were both banned after a week or so. I suspect because they thought they were bot accounts. I used free email services like yahoo to sign up, I only ever used the website and not the app, and I never posted or interacted with anything, I just followed a small number of accounts.
