   At this point, I am finding it extremely hard to believe that Jev team is not on a massive astroturfing campaign. This is happening all over reddit too. All LLM subreddits are getting flooded by Jev posts, many of which are made by new accounts that only talk about Jev, many obviously advertising in guise of sharing knowledge (e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;LocalLLaMA&#x2F;comments&#x2F;1wn4cni&#x2F;removed_by_moderator&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;LocalLLaMA&#x2F;comments&#x2F;1wn4cni&#x2F;removed...)

   Multiple posts on HN, including this one, are from accounts that only ever talked about Jev. Each get unusually high number of upvotes early on, enough to put them on frontpage. A multitude of commenters on such posts also seem to talk about only 1 topic.

   Can all this happen organically? Yes but with vanishingly low probability, from my vantage point.

      Same thing on Twitter, I noticed last night. Making extraordinary, categorical claims too.

         LinkedIn, too. Tech influencers (I mean &quot;AI Professionals&quot;) with long, rambling musings about why lames just don&#x27;t get Jev.
