Dang thanks for the explanation, it is tough for you being the sole moderator here.

Is gnabgib an actual moderator here or did he made a bot account that does regex matching to some words to try to do backseat moderating to farm points?

His account made numerous robotic comments that missed the key context which a human would not have missed.


gnabgib isn't a moderator but as far as I know is a genuine user and human being and valued contributor!

p.s. I'm not the sole moderator here, fortunately—just the only one who posts publicly.


Would you volunteer your time?

Recently, there was a FAANG engineer who volunteered his time to do serious programming work for free, not to a charity but to anyone who had a good cause and needed an engineer.


Uh this looks a bit too egregious of an attempt at misrepresentation, or deception.

This is not research originating from a UC Berkeley graduate, just like Lex Fridman (real name Alexei Alexandrowitsch Fedotow) is not an MIT lecturer, was not a MIT student, but is actually from Drexel U but likes to fraudulently misrepresent himself as an MIT graduate lecturer in his profile descriptions.

This AO Labs guy is not a real lab but a lone foreign guy who applied to a small grant from UC Berkeley, which gave him the one-time small grant that expired a long time ago and they have rejected him for grant renewal. Therefore a reject.

His AO Labs does not have a community of 160+ researchers from Berkeley NYU Google, or you have to wonder how incompetent are the "160" that none of them can even make a functioning simple FAQ web page.

You can also look up his videos, which are long but manage to say nothing of substance. A lot of spoken nonsense that shows his lack of understanding on how animals and organisms actually think.


Let's be friends. (:


You get a dozen of what on Whatsapp?

This is from YC HN Who Wants to be Hired page.

The solicitation sent by that spammer asks engineers to engage in the job of committing wire fraud, which is a very serious felony.


Vague. Felt a certain lack of collaboration on what?

Did you want to collaborate on making the wireframes?


Discovery process. I wasn't in any of user interviews, but a short discussion on insights from those interviews would help me. I didn't understand first set of wireframes tbh, so I asked a lot of questions and it sort of got frustrating trying to pull information out of his head. I didn't even realize they were wireframes until late.


Therefore you have to go be in those user interviews

Did you go be in those user interviews?


No. I should've asked to be added to those zoom meetings in hindsight.
