undefined | Better HN

It’s not a requirement. If it’s just the culture of HN to dunk on certain companies or products, then it is. This place doesn’t belong to me any more than it belongs to you. I am hopeful though that we could encourage more diversity of opinion here. Otherwise it’s exhausting.

And yes, I do, and it’s shared in a different comment. Search if you care to read it.

Interesting, I've had the opposite feeling of AI being super hyped throughout the industry, with tons of positivity and not a whole lot of reflection or criticism.

I’ve been noticing this a lot too. Dunk on companies and products and blindly glorify other companies and product (emotional rather than objective)

As HN has gotten bigger its contrarian streak has gotten worse. I suspect the dunking culture at this point is what attracts people to this site. If you want a clear-eyed picture into the industry then look elsewhere.
