Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

The code was used to pull a users comment history into a text file, which was then used to ban the user, right? Leaving the fact that it was then fed into an LLM that may or may not have been self hosted based on "jokes" aside, how is code used in an official instance action like moderation not "official instance" tooling?

Do you post a public log of all your "official instance tooling?" How often, and in want instances, has "unofficial instance tooling" been used to do official instance actions like banning users?
