All of the poster’s previous attempts had been flagged to death but this one apparently aligns better with the prevailing sentiment.

Those flags were strangely funny to me. We posted our open source privacy tool. A flag. We posted a "Forensic analysis of the RLHF supply chain: The $2/HR labor behind AI alignment." A flag. :) Even our "In Memoriam: Jason Snitker, a.k.a. Parmaster. RIP Legend" was flagged!? Etc.

I _think_ I align with your beliefs, but the style of writing, color scheme, etc., all scream 2010s Anonymous, and it's very hard to get past that aesthetic to determine if there is any there there.

Are you a plural person? Or is this a team? What's with the plural pronouns? Again, I do wish there were less style here.

The 'manifesto' reads very much like it was written by someone who is on Twitter way too much, and considers quote tweets to be public harrassment.

Perhaps it is AI generated or semi-AI generated? I stopped using Twitter when that right-arm raising guy took over; to me the whole website appears to have been AI generated. Perhaps I am wrong.

The arm raising thing was wild. Watching the double standard from the media as a guy with a literal nazi tattoo do the same thing with nary a comment is just so blatant.

Sincere advice: Consider engaging with a community before trying to use it to promote your work.

You account is not even 3 months old. In that time you made 6 submissions, all of them appears to be to your own work. You have only commented 9 times, with almost all of them being comments about your work.

I'm not edgy and cool enough to understand this website.

Palantir is an evil pro-technocracy, anti-democratic company run my an actual fascist that wants to divide up the world into masters and slaves?

Almost refreshing to see some good old-fashioned schizoposting, which usually doesn’t end up on HN.

Thank you. I now get it. I am new here; never liked to post my own stuff and then went overboard.
