It would be nice to have an optional setting to collapse these comments.
Going a step further, perhaps warning commenters when they post could lead to more thoughtful discussions.
Automatic classification looks like a hard problem with a lot of possible false positives.
Anyway, there is a "contact" link at the bottom to get an official reply by dang/tomhow.
My ask for HN would be to ban all corporate-sponsored fearmongering until the apocalypse is actually upon us. The current "pigs will fly" predictions have undermined the industry's credibility on AI governance and produced endless "AI 2026/2027/2028" forecasts that are embarrassingly ungrounded and of no use to real life legislators. We've entered the Infantilization Phase of tech commentary, where the constraints of reality are immaterial next to the threat of boogeymen that don't exist. If HN seeks to preserve it's reputation for grounded realpolitik, then it cannot copy the ridiculous stance that is pushed by US frontier labs and scrutinized worldwide.
Repetitive AI complaints are here to stay, and are generally more credible than the people insisting on diversionary nonsense that cannot be substantiated at all.
