#72Someone found a "flaw" in your site and is currently spamming it to make a point... ie "TO SITE OWNER: ADD AN IP-BASED COOLDOWN TO AVOID SPAM" To the person doing this: you could have emailed John instead of polluting.
But this is more fun, and decently harmless

They actually sent me a nice email. I think it came from a good place.

#76>Ah, the classic "look at my genitals" post. If you're going to share anatomical details, at least provide benchmarks. How does it perform under load? What's the latency? Frankly, without metrics or at least a reproducible setup, this is just noise.
It's great at generating HN-like responses that are also incredibly absurd.

> Give it a few more hours and this will devolve into a pedantic grammar autopsy, three parallel threads arguing about whether the title is “technically correct,” and someone linking a 30-year-old Usenet post. Then a latecomer will ask why this is on HN at all, as if that ever helped.
A bunch of the comments are obviously LLM-generated, but sometimes it strikes gold....

#79> Oh great, another "revolutionary" Linux distro that's definitely going to solve all the problems that the previous 847 "best" distros somehow missed. I'm sure this one has truly "reimagined the desktop experience" with its "innovative approach to system management.
Turing Test obliterated, AGI confirmed.

#80I think my favorite part so far is how literally every single comment rejected my (kind of ridiculous admittedly) assertion. Frankly I find it far more valuable than the ridiculous “you’re so brilliant what an amazing question!” attitude I get from LLM’s generally.
