# Ask HN: Why is there some sort of a scam website being advertised on HN? > Source: > Published: 2026-06-12 17:22:06+00:00 Gauntlet AI I believe is correlated originally with Lambda School (YC S17). YC founders I believe are able to post job postings on Hacker News, although this might stretch the definition a bit... When I saw this, I thought it was a paid advertisement on HN. yuck. At least when other companies do the jobs post it always includes "is hiring" to make it clear what it's for. I could be wrong, but I thought the "is hiring" posts are from a mechanism specifically for Ycombinator companies (which is why they also don't have comments on them) Very weird I cannot flag it. It's definitely a scam. Normally one cannot flag ads. Did HN pay for this advertisement? Is this a YC company? I really doubt they would be funding a company like this. Your scam meter is broken. We know that, because you are posting to this page. If it were functional, you would have already left capitalism. By continuing to engage with this page, you are accepting numerous other deceptions currently going on, including Google, capitalism, and smartphones.
