It's a technical article about an esoteric topic, you don't usually get good discussion.

Sometimes it's good for a laugh. Like I remember a commenter in one of the XZ posts saying that open source contributors should be required to have US security clearance.

The top comment talking about Vista (2007), Crisis (last game 2011), Witcher (Last game 2015) and the Datsun name change (1986) is really something.

Yep, or the fact that such a commenter has 70k karma on HN is something, too.

I looked and he’s one of those people who submit 2 posts per hour. And like, I wouldn’t want to do that, but if you’re a news junkie who feeds articles into HN soon after they come out and gives us stuff to talk about, it makes sense that you’d have huge karma in the long term since you’re providing a service to the HN community.

Two posts per hour and deep comments that turn into word salad under close examination? Could be a gpt-bot as well

I have a suspicion that the reason a lot of LLM bots can output stuff akin to word salad is because a lot of their training data is word salad in the first place. If you're a competent reader pre-LLM, you can mostly avoid/discount word salad, so its prevalence doesn't really register.

My YOShInOn can't write text, at least not yet. (I am thinking about T5 to attach Mastodon tags) I think most generative models would be too polite to say something like that or would be more tentative.
