Is there a state in which this constitutes fraud?
zombot•28m ago
It would have to be state law so the president can't pardon them.

> would have to be state law so the president can't pardon them

Sure. Based on cursory analysis, California (B&P § 17200 + § 17941), New York (§ 63(12)) and New Hampshire (RSA 664:14 / 664:16 + RSA 358-A) seem to be good places to start. Worst case, we get a public record of who paid for what under what pretences.

How's this kind of thing play in the US with free speech, Citizen's United, companies with money can make political statements, etc.

What's the actual fraud angle? Non disclosure?

This is normal tech company marketing strategy, right?

Probably doing something similar here.

This place average post went from “look at this new javascript framework” to “I just became 100x more productive with AI” in the last 3 years

tokioyoyo•32m ago
It would be cool to see HN internal stats over the last 5 years. New users, posts from different accounts and etc.
woozyolliew•24m ago
Yeah. Could be astroturfing. Could just be a surge in enthusiasm after 10 years when all we had to be excited about was a new Javascript framework.

Your analysis by account age might be telling

bossyTeacher•20m ago
> Could just be a surge in enthusiasm after 10 years when all we had to be excited about was a new Javascript framework.

No. I distinctly remember HN being fairly skeptical of LLMs the way they were sold back in 2023. Then, the astroturfing began happening gradually. First in the comments and then in the posts.

tokioyoyo•18m ago
To be very fair, I was also very skeptical about LLMs in 2023. Not so much anymore.

Edit: ok, i guess this account is from 2024, but been around a while. I guess can’t defend myself like this :)

>But there don’t seem to be any contributors, or at least not human ones. I ran every article on the site through Pangram (the AI detector that credibly claims a near-zero false-positive rate). Of the 94 articles, 69% came back flagged as fully AI-generated, with another 28% flagged as partially AI-generated. Only three articles were classified as human-authored.

How credible is this credible claim?

ProAm•11m ago
The only reason OpenAI wants to give 5% of the company to the US government is so they become 'to big to fail'. They dont give a s** about the US, its just a way to get funding when the bubble bursts
I share the same sentiment, and my account is at least ten years old.
weird-eye-issue•20m ago
Yeah but that's just how things have gone. My enthusiasm about a new JavaScript framework is practically zero these days compared to several years ago, and I do genuinely use AI for all of my coding especially since I developed a health issue that prevents me from typing
claaams•13m ago
I’ve noticed this too. I’ve seen a ton ai defenders and hype people here. It’s embarrassing.
raincole•6m ago
Or, you know, many people genuinely find it exciting to see AI pumping their long overdue side-projects, just like many people once found bikeshedding their frontend frameworks exciting?
