Hacker News Reader

First issue I randomly clicked is a somewhat unhinged interaction with the author being threatening or abusive.

https://github.com/kudoai/chatgpt.js/issues/34

What a wild thread. Author claims to be in they mid 30s, then says they wrote JS since the 90s (back when they were what, less than 10 years old?) then uses LinkedIn connections with lawyers to make a point.

So weird. This reads like a thread between two bots trained with content from chats between 12 years old pretending to be adults.

Thank you for posting it though, it was an amusing read.

This was a fun read for sure. I wasn't expecting to find comedy in HN.

I am the author. You are correct I wrote JS since the 90s, however your math is incorrect as I was 12 in '96 (but less than 10 when using my first language, AppleSoft BASIC)

And the point you are making is..?

It's rather amusing to see people fighting over copyright on an AI tool.

I find it sad, especially over Javascript that use an API. I hope the author get some help with managing all of that anxiety.

I am one of the authors, there is no API used...

How come?

It looks like it needs treatment. I hope he's getting support.

What is the 'it' you refer to?
