It might not break guidelines, but LLM's should not be regarded as sources of truth, and copy-pasting from them is about as interesting as posting the results of a google search.
While I don't agree with the "this shouldn't be on HN" part, people thinking Elon is a Nazi isn't exactly unreasonable. He literally sieg heil'd an audience at Trump's inauguration. Twice. Call it trolling or whatever you like, but he did it and the outcomes for such an act are ... predictable.
To me what is noteworthy is that there's a canon at all. There's none for construction, or law, or medicine. There might be very small ones for politics and finance.
The author is skeptical that the canon actually existed before pc posted about it, but I had read a lot of them, and I don't think any would be too surprising to people who read HN or SSC. And there's plenty of influence from Slashdot before that, and the Whole Earth Catalog before that.
Another one was the one where he went to work in Marketing, and they were doing their research by yelling questions into a well. But I can't find that one.

There’s no reason to think this works fine given the readme mentions the author is waiting on their first meshtastic device to test against and the install instructions include ‘insert download link here’.
It’s a shame this is just slop, an approach like this could be interesting, using web APIs instead of native apps… but iOS Safari doesn’t support Web Bluetooth so it’s not going to work on iPhones at all which is a big unmentioned limitation.
LLMs don't do anything without an initial prompt, and anyone who has actually used them knows this.
A human asked an LLM to set up a blog site. A human asked an LLM to look at github and submit PRs. A human asked an LLM to make a whiny blogpost.
Our natural tendency to anthropomorphize should not obscure this.
