That's from the past 20 comments.

Submissions: 8 most recent on PF, 9+ cover nuclear power, Tor dark web, robotaxis, and other topics.

Again: Not a one-note flute, though fairly focused of late on AI and poisoning.

Again: I think the ban is unwarranted. I'm not sure what's driving your thinking here, but a no-warnings ban seems excessive. And given YC's current preponderance of AI/agentic launches (<https://news.ycombinator.com/launches>), self-serving and contrary to the "we moderate YC stories less" guideline.

(Yes, I'm aware "less" isn't "none", and this is an account/user rather than story, I hope my point stands and is clear.)

The Yann LeCun posts you link are ... a bit OTT. That's also a couple of years ago.

I've said my bit. I'm hoping you and atomic128 can come to an understanding in email.
