There was another hackernews comment today about a similar phenomenon, on an article about AI > All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident (source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32538563 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32538563) I distinctly remember some other comment a while ago showing how the Reddit hive mind drastically changed positions around certain covid topics (I think about masking?). It's fascinating how groups can be so adamant about their positions one instant, and then switch positions later on with zero repercussions. We need more accoutability.
