Some possible interpretations of Raka's comment:
Raka is Roko, and is lying.
Raka is some other established reader of LW, and is lying.
Raka is a bystander who has been recruited by a regular to join and post that comment.
Raka is a new user who just discovered Less Wrong, and just wanted to post and say how excited they are to join, and just happened to choose a username very like Roko's, and post at a point in the discussion where questions of identity had been raised.
I can't decide between the first three, but the least credible hypothesis is 4.
Please don't piss in the soup Raka, whoever you are.
ETA: As it happens, I have used the name "Raak" elsewhere on the web for many years, but I am not Roko or Raka, and have never posted and never will post here by any name but my everyday one.
I'm pretty sure it's
though I'm not sure I know exactly what the point is - perhaps that Roko is unlikely to succeed in their disguise, or that we're going to start thinking every newcomer is Roko if this sort of thing goes on.
The most credible is 1. Placement, Hamming distance, a publicly stated intent to do as much, and a wierdly content-free intro message.
I don't see what Roko gains from this.
I really don't think he would fail that badly at disguise.
