    I'm going to guess part of the influence campaign is getting stories like this removed from the front page of HN as quickly as possible:

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.technologyreview.com&#x2F;2026&#x2F;09&#x2F;22&#x2F;1144867&#x2F;dont-be-fooled-summer-ai-hype&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.technologyreview.com&#x2F;2026&#x2F;09&#x2F;22&#x2F;1144867&#x2F;dont-be-...

    eg:

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49814211">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49814211

    Not even flagged, just disappeared.

      Yeah, that post disappeared rather quickly. I was surprised by it.
