It seems that your response to accusations of becoming a vapid propagandist are to lean into it so far that people start thinking you’re joking.

Very odd strategy. Very odd way to manage a reputation that you built over 20 years, but I guess it’s a great lesson in how AI psychosis can affect the best of us.

You're really stretching things here to classify me pointing out that LLMs can handle syntax errors caused by partial implementations of Python as "being a vapid propagandist".

(This kind of extremely weak criticism often seems to come from newly created Hacker News accounts, which makes me wonder if it's mostly the same person using sockpuppets.)

Sorry for this, Simon. But just know that this non-newly-created hacker news account does not think you are a “vapid propagandist” and appreciates your content.
