As usual, the crypto hate is strong to the point of going full-bore irrational from all the enlightened souls on this site, despite this ethereum event being far from a typical crypto bro crank job and instead being a sincere effort to improve the quality of something with plausible usability, that these people have invested lots of time in working on. This makes it different from so many other complex if imperfect programming projects how? Or perhaps now that Ether has shifted from the so lovingly hated PoW mechanism to PoS, some other thing has to be scorned, rational analysis be damned?
Might add that much of the crypto hate on HN comes from the same circle of people who more recently swallow nearly anything AI-related with absurdly wide eyed applause. People who actually insinuate that LLM systems are some genuine new form of intelligence, despite absolutely no factual signs of that and plenty of reasons for worry about perfectly human use-case dangers, which make the worst of crypto seem minor in comparison.
