#3This place is full of silly tech bros and klowns who think they are inconvenienced billionaires. They hate real deal good projects. If your link gets to stay, good for you, but it is unlikely.

Can't disagree with you but when you see people curing cancers and stuff with ai some people can really do good stuff. I think its about the person who uses the tool that matters

Your post looks AI generated and the rule is not to do that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47340079
Also, you have to admit that when your first interaction on HN is posting a self-promotion it seems like bad manners at best.

Unsurprising, the guidelines for HN state that self promotion is okay ... but not as the sole activity of an account.
Did you consider playing nice and perhaps taking the regular forum users out to dinner first? Make some light conversation?
People (the other HN users) react poorly to strangers busting in and spruiking in their living room / corner bar.
