I never said anything about Y Combinator. Only that recently HN felt like Sam Altman's circle jerk. It was surreal to read some comments praising him.

- rightbyte 3y agoYe it was really strange. And the simultaneous "outrage" on some Twitter users. The praise felt very artificial. But the drama was real.
- mi_lk 3y agothe overwhelming support of him across HN/Twitter (circle jerk) really rubs me the wrong way and I just can't take Sam Altman seriously anymore
- corethree 3y agoYou know HN is ycombinator right? That when you come to this site you have to type in the words ycombinator for the url right? You said Sam is HNs darling. That's different from saying HN viewers. So you literally did not say what you said here.
- bitcharmer 3y ago> You know HN is ycombinator right? Nope, this is wrong. HN is a site run by Y Combinator and heavily moderated but the comments are coming from the site's users and not Y Combinator itself
- corethree 3y agoWell if you want to be this pedantic. How can a website have opinions? You most obviously must be referring to the owners of the website. Or are you referring to the comments? Because both the users and the owners of said website have vastly different opinions here. Additionally at one point Sam Altman was literally a "darling" for the company, before he got fired. Your statement is ambigiuose and therefore wrong.
