I am hesitant to shoot down anyone's work in Show HN but this is deliberate obscenity in service of (I assume) rage baiting. It's all well for art to be transgressive and offensive but if it's not in service of a goal remotely worth having then it's juvenile. Breathing life into a vile monster who remains a contentious subject is just gross and not worth publishing.

OP, I think your work on integrating with iMessage is cool, I think it's cool that you set out to build an iMessage agent and succeeded, but I think this is not your best work. I look forward to seeing what you publish in the future but this one gets two thumbs way down from me.

Abysmally shallow. Clearly trained on documents centred upon his legal case and not, for example, of whatever mathematical talents got him a teaching position, allowed him to bluff his way past the likes of Marvin Minsky, and what (if anything) drove his investment strategies.

What tech stack did you use?

from OP comment history:

> So I’ve always had this weird obsession with building my own iMessage agent - like, imagine your own bot living inside your iPhone, sending messages, replying smartly, maybe even trolling your friends a little Then I found out companies like Linq Blue and SendBlue (both YC) charge over $1000/month just to do this. Yeah, no thanks. So I built it myself. iMessageKit is an open-source TypeScript SDK that lets you send and operate iMessages programmatically. Texts, photos, even RCS messages - all through a clean, strongly typed API. Now I can build iMessage bots and automations without burning cash, and honestly, it feels great to beat the paywalls. Would love feedback & ideas! GitHub(ur star would be rly helpful): https://github.com/sg-hq/imessage-kit

I took a close look at the November document drop, which had some iChat backups. He really did text kind of like an imbecile. The tone is in his emails too.
