I don't care, in part because the claim is false, but there's literally a guideline saying you can't do this, so I guess it's worth knowing that you're wrong too. Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data. | |||||||||||||||||

In this case it’s relevant to the discussion as the user was questioning why you were making the points you were. It’s not an accusation of shilling, it’s context where context was requested. As a test imagine if you changed the context to something good such as “AI achieves the unthinkable” and the responding user asked why someone was so optimistic about the achievement. It’s relevant context to the conversation, nothing else. | |||||||||||||||||
