alt Hacker NewsI wish there was more commentary on your point of view. HN has really disappointed me today. I come here for the deeper insight and instead I got Reddit lite. I read the NVIDIA way when it came out and was gobsmacked that all these years the company was operating the way that it did. It really made me admire the perseverance the employees went through and made me realize Jensen was a hidden gem. Seeing China announce their own GPUs made me think NVIDIA was in for some sweat but now? Its as if they are torpedoing NVIDIA for a short term gain only to not realize they have just tossed the long term win to China. The conspiracy theorist in me think they are hoping to pin the blame on the left or they think they can remain in the shadows and break companies that dont play ball no matter how important they are and walk away unscathed. This is a serious fundamental problem in modern American governance that might scare talented people away from the country.

Unfortunately a side effect of many HN readers having outsized influence on the AI and tech industry. Influence campaigns are much more valuable when run here.
Astroturfed talking points is prevalent since like maybe 10 years I believe. There was this huge shift when 'influencers' became a thing and people realized there was power in that for real.
It’s more disappointing that some HN users have zero awareness that sexual impropriety in the workplace is actually a really bad thing, and that being a great business leader does not excuse you from the consequences of being a bad person.
100%, it's annoying to see so much noise and very little signal on this topic here.
