This whole thing is making me question whether I should continue reading HN. It's not just this story either, it seems a sub-section of the HN community has taken a hard-right swing in the last couple years.

People in these threads are pretending that 75% of the story doesn't exist and it's just about an affair... insane.

EDIT: Is this just X infecting HN? I don't go on X so I don't know what it's like.

People here are so weird now about AI. Bizarrely sensitive to even the slightest criticism of AI or the associated companies. I don’t know if it’s bots or what, but it’s legitimately scary.

		Both, but you don't need to worry. Nvidia will release a new LLM model in a few days time and everyone will all be happy again. This one tip gets you off the hook of any company slander; just release a LLM model.

This is a VC message board after all so money is king above law and morality, those things often get in the way of profit. Marx had some good points.

Yeah, the election made it pretty clear that people on X are in an insane bubble world (rather than some of the other online communities X accused of exactly that), and that the venn-diagram of HN and terminally-online X users is basically a circle.

The Demographics of HN are coming very sharply into focus the past few weeks, and it's awful.

It does sort of explain a lot though.

A shocking amount of these comments are very loudly ignorant of basic concepts of consent, and some seem to be rather proud of it.
