How did HN become this kind of website?

Because AI is attacking, plagiarizing, competing with, and destroying the most common industry of people here on HN, so suddenly it mattered more to people who were previously unaffected.

Some people have been concerned with this kind of politics all along. Some people are realizing they should be now, because of AI. And that's okay; both groups can still work together.

The parent comment is a pretty measured take. What’s your problem with it?

I went to a conference and people were suggesting nationalizing AI companies so it's basically everywhere.
