Actually, there are more internet users today than at any point in history. The internet is far from dead.

The commenter in question is the CTO of the company which makes Wordfence. My instinct says they're not on the OpenAI payroll and you're looking at a normal comment and not advertisement.

I think you should check your priors man; it's worth thinking critically before you toss out accusations like that.



Thanks joenot443.

I suspect the only way to prove that I’m legit to the doubters is to do something a paid shill or a bot would never ever do.

To the commenters who think I’m a shill or bot: fuck every single one of you and the various motherfucking horses you rode in on.

I suspect we may be entering a dystopia where vulgarity is proof of life.


sorry this triggered you, i regret post what i posted, as i didn't expect it would really upset any hn user, but it did to you, so I'm sorry.

also i was referring to broadly the phenomenon not your post, e.g. even your post is from real human, it's the replies and upvotes push your post to the top.

i don't expect to convince you, but if there's anything I can do to un-upset you, I'd happy to try. :)


If it payed, shills and bots would use every slur under the sun without a shred of hesitation.


> fuck every single one of you and the various motherfucking horses you rode in on.

Maybe you're an LLM trained on 4chan


I actually think people on 4chan and even reddit don’t get angry that quickly because it’s an anonymous posting board so there’s nothing to be defensive about, unless you’re really invested on an opinion, which makes me suspect this even more, why would he start cursing when he was just bragging about spending 70k?

It I posted on reddit about how I just spent 70k on a watch and someone replied that they didn’t trust me, maybe I would laugh or reply with “whatever”, but never would I reply in anger.


Maybe you wouldn’t, but something the past few years have made abundantly clear is that that having more money is not correlated to having a thicker skin and being able to ignore criticism. Or if it is, it’s an inverse correlation.


It's probably the same sort of sanity that prevents you from spending 70k on Cla— on a watch, and prevents you from replying in anger.


lol - touche. Although I suspect that would have been far worse had that been the case.


aw, my horse.
