Dang thanks for the explanation, it is tough for you being the sole moderator here.

Is gnabgib an actual moderator here or did he made a bot account that does regex matching to some words to try to do backseat moderating to farm points?

His account made numerous robotic comments that missed the key context which a human would not have missed.

It seems like gnabgib is a bot account that does regexp matching on a number of keywords without understanding the context, because his overbearing comment in here is similar to his improper comment that he made on my comment.

Would you volunteer your time?

Recently, there was a FAANG engineer who volunteered his time to do serious programming work for free, not to a charity but to anyone who had a good cause and needed an engineer.

Uh this looks a bit too egregious of an attempt at misrepresentation, or deception.

This is not research originating from a UC Berkeley graduate, just like Lex Fridman (real name Alexei Alexandrowitsch Fedotow) is not an MIT lecturer, was not a MIT student, but is actually from Drexel U but likes to fraudulently misrepresent himself as an MIT graduate lecturer in his profile descriptions.

This AO Labs guy is not a real lab but a lone foreign guy who applied to a small grant from UC Berkeley, which gave him the one-time small grant that expired a long time ago and they have rejected him for grant renewal. Therefore a reject.

His AO Labs does not have a community of 160+ researchers from Berkeley NYU Google, or you have to wonder how incompetent are the "160" that none of them can even make a functioning simple FAQ web page.

You can also look up his videos, which are long but manage to say nothing of substance. A lot of spoken nonsense that shows his lack of understanding on how animals and organisms actually think.

Solved. Now time for you to send the upvotes.
You get a dozen of what on Whatsapp?

This is from YC HN Who Wants to be Hired page.

The solicitation sent by that spammer asks engineers to engage in the job of committing wire fraud, which is a very serious felony.

Therefore you have to go be in those user interviews

Did you go be in those user interviews?

Vague. Felt a certain lack of collaboration on what?

Did you want to collaborate on making the wireframes?

Tell HN: YC Hired Wire Fraud Soliciting. Ask: Best Way to Report to Authorities?

Someone scraped the YC HN Who Wants to be Hired page for engineers, to send cold email spam to solicit engineers to engage in the job of committing real wire fraud, which is a very serious felony.Moreover this seriousness may not be understood by many engineers who are non-native speakers of English when they read the details given and they also may not know about the felony category.What is...
