The prevailing view on HN (and maybe broadly) around social media such as Facebook is that the people who built it didn't stop to think about the long term implications of the thing they were building. But the opposite view seems common on things like ChatGPT and other AI systems -- big tech are too conservative, too scared, and too distracted in mitigating the risk of simply releasing everything as fast as possible.
