The comments are saying that this is largely derivative of someone else's work.

It has been explained in several of the comments. It constitutes the creation of a derivative work.

Spot checking a few other comments, they are similarly copied verbatim from elsewhere.

Contrast this parent comment's opinion, that it is "shameful to mention Bach's name" with the Bach example, with this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36043384, pointing out that the Bach example is plagiarized from Bach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpqd1gCzLN4&t=178s

It looks like he has a few more comments from reddit. Looks like the user is trying to get karma here by plagiarism.

It's definitely a paraphrased copy of the top comment.

The parent commenter is spreading misinformation. The authors are not the same. They don't even have similar names.

No this isn't the same article that was posted the other day. Is a response to comments.

> From a comment in the article:

To be clear, it's a comment on the article, in the public comments section appended to the article. The comment was not made by the article author.

Also the point the commenter thinks they're original in making is the main point of the actual article.

Which of the comments in that thread are by the author?

This is a comment pointing out that the idea is probably copied shamelessly from http://faultline.org/index.php/site/item/incendiary/ which in turn copies equally shamelessly and equally without attribution from David Moser's wonderful short story found here http://consc.net/misc/moser.html .

okamiueru | karma 2186 | avg karma 2.84 · | 2012-06-25 20:42:59+00:00

I should add: it wasn't an original comment, and it is a bit true.

This comment is copied from the OP comments.

Funny, if you click "view source" on the webpage you can see that the author has comments himself.

mbrubeck | karma 21788 | avg karma 8.18 · | 2010-01-16 02:52:57+00:00

Not "copied" exactly - skmurphy posted the same comment in both places. (I do this sometimes too, especially if the comment is in a moderation queue at the original site.)

The comment you linked discusses the source of a different project, doesn't it?

The above comment should be attributed to https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/hxxN75ZQ5GY4Tjwkv/inscrutabl...

Why, at the time I typed this, is every comment on that article comments from this thread? Most seem to have the same usernames but some are different. But every one of the comments seem a copy and paste from here.

Rychard | karma 448 | avg karma 2.7 · | 2023-06-02 23:28:33

This is a direct copy of a single sentence of a comment[0] posted on TFA. It lacks any of the context of the original comment, and appears to be shameless plagiarism.
