alt Hacker NewsWhy do the mods allow Simon to spam HN with his blogposts and his comments, which he often posts just for the sake of including a link back to his blog? Seriously, go look at his post history and see how often he includes a link to his blog, however tangentially related, when he posts a comment. I actually flagged this submission, which I never do, and encourage others to do likewise.

He's one of the most valuable writers on LLMs, which are one of the major topics at present. That's not spam.
I appreciate his work for being more informative and organized than average AI-related content. Without his blogging, it would be a struggle to navigate the bombastic and narcissistic Twitter/Reddit posts for AI updates. The barrier to entry for AI reporting is so low that you just need to give a bit more care to be distinguished, and he is getting the deserved attention for doing exactly that in a systematical and disciplined manner. (I do believe many on HN are more than capable but not interested in doing the same.) Personally, I sometimes find his posts more congratulatory or trivial than I like, but I have learned to take what I want and ignore what I don’t.
Probably because my content gets a lot more upvotes than it does flags.
If this post was by anyone other than me would you have any problems with its quality?
