alt Hacker NewsWe can only judge the way the words land when they appear on the page. We can’t assume what you were thinking and discern that you may have intended to convey something different. People often underestimate how mean their words seem when read by others. Nobody likes to think of themselves in negative terms. Almost everyone means well. I’m sure you do.
But the guidelines are clear about snark, swipes, and calling names. They are also clear about conversing curiously and being thoughtful and kind. Please just try harder to figure out ways of expressing your thoughts kindly.

dude u so biased we can all see it. Link me to all the times you "moderated" the Pro Slop bros for telling a skeptic they're "coping", "left behind" etc?
But you and dang are working overtime to protect altman and his minions from having their feelings hurt or be made of fun of.
slop
It's not name-calling to call the guy who created the ArtCraft suite... the guy who created the ArtCraft suite. And it's not a "swipe" to point out that someone who uses AI assistance to such an extent would have a very different view of the word "slop" than someone who doesn't, and so that they might not be a great judge of whether the word "slop" is seen as a "joke".
Calling others' viewpoints "jokes" is pretty damn abrasive, by the way. Quite a bit less kind than anything I've said here, in my humble view. But you're entitled to your view, obviously.
