I don't any signs that it's a bot, or that the comment was LLM generated. It's pretty safe to assume they made an alt to make that comment, as they didn't want to take a negative opinion towards a conservative author on their main. i.e. trying to avoid controversy.

This website is slightly to the right of reddit these days; what exactly would expressing a negative opinion about a conservative blogger do to their main account?

My suspicion was some affiliation with a current or future implicated individual.

I figured it was someone who just cared enough to make an account.

Yeah, this article seems fine, but looking at some of chris brunet's other articles has me a bit O.O

First time I've run into this with a HN share in a good long while. Not that the article shouldn't have been shared, ofc, but.. it certainly puts me on guard.

It's been some time since I spent any time on Reddit but last I recall, slightly to the right of Reddit would imply pretty left still

Has Reddit changed that much?

Yes, I'm saying that HN is very far left, which wasn't the case just a few years ago. It's mostly a progressive echo chamber at this point plus some interesting tech news.
