AI promotional strategies are profoundly and uniquely illiberal.

AI leaders are not interested in open debate and they have demonstrated this again and again.

Shouting this person down is the appropriate, humane response.

Okay, "new_account_100", you don't have to reply to every single comment in this thread lol. Chill a bit.

I echo their sentiments 100%, I doubt I'm alone here either.

I do, too, but a throwaway account busting into a conversation and screaming "everyone listen to me, me, me!" is a bit obnoxious, you know?

I'm only a throwaway account because they ban you for making well-received comments against AI.

We don't do that. We do ban accounts for egregiously breaking HN's guidelines, as you've already done repeatedly with this account.

Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with.
