That one never made it to the front page because reasons. All that discussion was people reading the story elsewhere and going looking for the HN thread.

never made it? That's the thread. The discussion is there. Long before this one. Lots of people saw it, commented on it. It's a dupe. Stop splitting the discussion up.

It was never above page 4 (position 90):

This version of the thread is the first to have had any traction on the front page.

When the algorithm artificially stops a topic from surfacing to the front page, the article that finally makes it past the algorithm's suppression is not a duplicate, it's the canonical copy.

So what if it didn't make the front page. That doesn't mean ppl didn't see it. Doesn't mean ppl aren't commenting on it. Maybe it's just not that interesting. There was also a lot of other big news at the same time with Meta etc taking attention. And followed by the other OpenAI news with Mira. Again, the discussion is there.
