As expected, some ad hominem attacks both by Stockfish-affiliated folks here and in the Stockfish discord. I guess some people had never had any constructive conversations before, must be hard for them.

Masses of these posts are ChatGPT generated parodies from (one suspects) Discord people taking the mickey out of quite a few talkchess posts/posters who themselves are posting rubbish pseudo-philosophy on computer chess. It’s kind of understandable.
Also a bit amusing that some posters here get taken in and respond accordingly.

These are the ramblings of a delusional old man who is stuck to their old ways of thinking and cannot accept that things change. Stockfish mafia, seriously? Did we forget why we're doing this? Why we develop and work to improve our chess engines? It's supposed to be good fun. There is no UHO conspiracy here, no SPRT hype, it's just the field moving on and you being unable to accept it.

And just FYI, as for CCRL sticking to balanced books, I already have plans to create a UHO only DFRC list on there :)
