Found the second CCP agent. /s

Seriously though, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. One comment is not enough to know though.

I would suggest you please take a look at the HN guidelines [1]. In particular:

> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and we'll look at the data.

Do you think you risking closing your mind off from new ideas by assuming everyone disagreeing with you is an LLM or russian or chinese or whatever?
