I don't think they got the message. Someone... spent all day spamming r/LocalLLaMA and other LLM-related subs. Just an excited friend that wants to see the project do well?

I came here to see if this was an issue previously, and if others noticed. Turns out I was right.

You can see the account I linked is only 4 months old (similar to some accounts here), and only just recently started posting again. Could be they've been deleting past astroturfing.

This is an extremely bad look. You couldn't pay me to run their software if this is how they behave.

This is an old thread, but I hope that it will be here any time people look up this dime-a-dozen AI framework projects on HN in the future.

Comment is now archived in case you like hiding these types comments...

>I can just move the booster ones lower down

YOU can. Anybody else needs 500 internet points to downvote any of the comments in this thread. Imagine all the projects that don't get a boost because of a network of real, living and breathing bots ready to boost your project. It's ok! They're ~real~ humans.

EDIT3:

Here are three other Reddit accounts that like spamming this project on llm-related subs:

Nothing to see here! Just "YC founders excitedly telling their friends."
