It's probably the fact that you created two accounts in 30 mins to astroturf/troll a thread about climate change which is an actual, measurable phenomenon.
Cool, how do I identify them? They don't have badges and refuse to give ID. They cover their faces and use excessive force. Should I just immediately give up my rights and do whatever is asked of me from someone in a vest and ski mask with a gun because they claim to be a government agent?
We've seen videos in the past 72 hours showing blatant illegal activity and constitutional violations. You're literally commenting on an article about an ICE agent stealing an underage victim's property. Is this the American Freedom you guys always talk about? "Comply and get in the van with the armed, masked men and maybe you'll make it out alive"?
You could just read the article before knee-jerking to state repression.
> November 13, 2025 — Initial disclosure sent to Flock Safety security team
> November 14, 2025 — First follow-up requesting confirmation of receipt
> November 19, 2025 — Second follow-up; Flock Safety finally acknowledges receipt
> January 7, 2026 — Vulnerability remains unpatched (55+ days)
> I am withholding specific technical details to prevent exploitation while the vulnerability remains unpatched. However, its existence more than 55 days after responsible disclosure with no remediation, demonstrates a systemic pattern of credential mismanagement.
Interesting that this user "EthanAsher"'s account was created 3 months / 90 days ago with a single submission and no comments. Another account which recently posted more material [1] from this Saudi-funded mouthpiece (iranintl.com [2]) was the user "ArniThordarson" [3] (FirstnameLastname) whose account was created 89 days ago and also has no other submissions or comments.
Illuminating to see how astroturfing campaigns get by the mods on HN.
> “put X into a bikini” is constitutionally protected speech
Unfortunately if "put X into a bikini" is a command to an AI to generate CSAM of an underage child, that's no longer "constitutionally protected" territory. Also, these are global investigations - most countries don't have the same approach to freedom of speech as the US.

It's peculiar to me how people in the U.S. seem to prioritise "freedom of speech" and de-prioritise freedom from being harassed online. In general, I support free speech, but I don't take an absolutist position as there can be a lot of harm created by allowing lies to propagate unrestricted (c.f. Brexit in the UK). Meanwhile, there's direct emotional harm being caused by these AI images being posted and also a speech chilling effect by making people, especially women, afraid of posting on contentious topics.
Because Mamdani is not "far far left" unless you live in the American echo chamber which treats anything not right-wing as a leftist threat [1]. On a global stage, where actual political systems exist beyond America's basic, captured two-party system, the words "left" and "right" have established political meaning.
You think the business executives in this administration managed to organize the kidnapping of a head of state? Trump pointed at it and a massive machinery which was built over hundreds of years made it happen. People who have been doing this kind of work for decades organized this. Good thing those same business executives are also hell-bent on destroying the machinery, I suppose.
If you can figure out a way to collect and parse information needed to make executive decisions via LLM+tool calls, you would be a billionaire overnight. There’s a reason that it takes a human in these roles and people w/ 0 organizational/executive experience fail to understand just how complex they are.
Who said either was easy or able to be automated currently? I'm talking about actual users of tools trying to automate, not hype-driven investors or journalists. Both programming and executive decision making are hard, don't make the mistake of thinking your job hard or special while others' are easy, it's the same exact thing artists tried to do when Stable Diffusion came out. Turns out, it's all hard.
