For me its 2 things. Firstly, I mean the posts are always a fun read but it feels like just that, not much deeper insight. Secondly, its very self promotion-y. This account is almost exclusively posting / interacting with Andon content, which afaik is against HN guidelines. These two in combination makes the content feel more like marketing than contribution to discussions. I feel like some other companies manage to share interesting work and market. But maybe its just my taste :^)

Man, I remember when the word hacking meant something.

This is their third publicity stunt in the past couple of months. It follows the exact same pattern of attention seeking at the expense of the commons. At this point they seem like a bunch of low empathy jerks. They are gleefully describing their progress in developing yet new frontiers in AI slop. I’m sure they are all very pleased to think that they will be profiting from a future where ai slop is everywhere. I could go on but it’s tedious.

I think they get a lot of hate because they are doing something that a lot of people here don't like -- trying to run entire businesses without humans.

And using a lot of resources to do it too.

Out of all the jobs that "need to be replaced by AI" the guy serving my local community and spinning records was not one of them.

For better or worse, most people, including HN, don't like "AI taking jobs."

Anything that sounds like that triggers a reaction.
