HN is not anti-AI. HN reflects a reasonable ratio of pro-AI and anti-AI sentiments (sometimes held by the same person! because AI covers a lot of ground).

View on HN

Alternative wording: HN is not twitter

Exactly. Look at lobste.rs if you want to see what "anti-AI" truly means.

I have many diverse friend groups. And HN is lot lot more anti AI then even the worst of the non technical groups I am in. e.g. [1] is so detached from reality and got to front page for multiple days recently. Or [2].

I have never seen a positive story(I am not talking about things like current model, just how positive AI could be like the Sam Altman post) in front page for a long time. Feel free to disprove me.

dang posted a good one in this comment section.

I would also suggest that if you believe your two links are "detached from reality", you may be struggling with your own bias. They're both perfectly reasonable takes that you are totally reasonable to disagree with. Try to come down from that feeling and realize that disagreeing does not necessitate that the person you are disagreeing with is insane.

"I listen to both kinds of music, country and western."

I have made very falsifiable statement.

dang falsified it. Also, if you visit this URL at time of writing, three of the top five stories are pro-AI:

You're absolutely right! So does AI most times.
