Because it is not reasonable to expend high effort to verify something that took no effort to create. That is not a workable long term solution. Instead you have to rely on low effort signals to signify if something is WORTH expending energy on.

I didnt read your comment, because it would take me longer than just writing: your comment looks like LLM slop.

If thats your signal then you lock yourself out of all parts of this website, not the best heuristic

Yeah, that'd be stupid right? I have the same mindset with projects and code. If it's a good project, it's a good project, I don't care what IDE they used. If the code is shit it's shit regardless of how it was produced.

Agree, but, ah, can you illuminate. <totally-offtopic data-but="i am intesnely curious"> Quite amazing 6000 points in under 3 months. Yuge. OK a few almost 1K posts, but they drop off. You must have some mega-point comments. Can you, eh, "point me" to a comment of yours that has a super amount of upvotes?

Sorry if this is weird, it's just I've never personally experienced a comment with anything more than 100 - 200 points. And that was RARE. I totally get if you don't want to...but like, what were your "kilopoint" comments, or thereabouts? </offtopic>

Yeah, thanks for giving me a reality-check on my HN addiction, really need to put back my original /etc/hosts file it seems :|

So, apparently these are my five most upvoted comments (based on going through the first 100 pages of my own comments...):

I think if you too retire, have nothing specific to do for some months, and have too much free time to discuss with strangers on the internet about a wide range of topics you ideally have strong opinions about, you too can get more HN karma than you know what to do with :)

Healthy skepticism is certainly laudable, but too many llmuddites seem rather aggressive while whistling past their own graveyards.

Yeah, hypers need to cool their language down a bit and llmuddites need to acquire a bit of nuance. New technology tends to create large camps initially on both sides :)
