This is why I wonder about the self-described "HN critics". If they really didn't like HN and wanted to harm it, it would be no trouble to hook a producer or editor at some news media firm on some ridiculous misinterpretation of any number of things said on HN on a regular basis. They could simultaneously leak something misleading to AOC and Josh Hawley to get both sides of the aisle in Congress wound up. Would NYT be frightened by actual SV connections?
- reducesuffering 6y agoThis is actually a prescient point. We're one node away from the rationalist community (as SSC and this article have had huge threads the past couple weeks). Given NYT's blatant guilty-by-association of the rationalist community, and any competence from them would understand that HN has a far bigger impact on SV than the rationalists, I think we're not too far away from a huge slandering NYT piece like this for HN.
