You should talk with dang, as the email I received about this from him, to my eyes, does not agree with your stance here in the long term. I don’t want to get into the interminable blood quantum debate over Llm authorship either, however, I see substack doing something about it, and, as a long time hn reader, it makes me want to spend more time over there than here.

We're talking about it all the time :) My comment above doesn't contradict the email. I didn't say we're not wanting/planning to do anything about it, just that there's more to it than plugging in Pangram. If Substack is being more proactive about it on their own site, that's great. It would make life easier for all of us if all the major content platforms cleaned up their own sites. We're already proactive about detecting/autokilling genai comments posted to our own site. It's detecting genai content on 3rd party sites that introduces more complications.

In the meantime, please feel free to flag items that are badly written/unpleasant to read, and email us if something is on the front page that shouldn't be there.

Looking forward to seeing how you handle it! I understand the complications of it as an engineer, I hope you figure out something soon!
