The thread itself reads like it was written entirely by AI.

What a world we live in!

This is crypto scams all over again.

It's time we internalize the lesson that every tech innovation going forward that's capable of great profit is going to be driven by the same web3/AI model of scammers and predators. The era of technology primarily helping people has gone away.

the Claude-produced website alongside its excessive hyperbole makes me much less likely to believe this “expose”, even if there is an element of truth to it. if you want to call out a company for being “AI slop”, don’t vibe code a website to do so.

to be fair, the fact they show precise revenue data through their public API is interesting: https://polsia.com/api/public/live/dashboard

Looking through that dashboard, it's kinda fascinating... but also feels really icky.

The company name is aislop in reverse. Because it reads like parody, it is likely parody. It would be sad if smart people on Hacker News fall for this, not to mention AI hating journalists and bloggers.

But let's give the VCs of the round the benefit of doubt, and hope the raise is tied to KPIs and long term value creation.

This has to be a parody, and I will believe that it is until somebody can provide evidence that it isn't.

Please for the love of god stop with the AI designed websites.

Hand-authored system default HTML with 5 lines of CSS for formatting would be just fine.

Seems like you can ask Polsia about Polsia. The zero-arr.vercel.app AI investigative journalist interviewing Polsia could be this generation's Frost/Nixon.
