The commentary by the HN community is some of the most intelligent, thoughtful, and spam-free tech content on the web (imho). That’s why I’ve been reading for almost as long as it’s been around despite having moved into less hands-on roles.
It strikes me that the corpus of data here is very rich and likely very valuable to LLMs. Does HN allow its content to be indexed by Anthropic, xAI, OpenAI, etc?
Sure as hell can't stop them.
