>If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Would this "open letter" be covered on TV news?

The concept of "tv news" itself is pretty anachronistic, and the premise that nothing that would be covered on "tv news" should be of any interest to "good hackers" is a bit elitist. That guideline, like the rest of this forum, was written in the early 2000s, for what one could argue was an entirely different world than now, with an entirely different relationship between culture and media, and the assumptions it makes about culture and media may no longer apply, if they ever did. That said, here are some American examples - it is being covered by CBS: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-full-transcript/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-full...

Searching "anthropic letter tv news coverage" in Google, the News tab has tons of other mainstream news sources, worldwide, covering this story. So yes. This and many "technical" stories that appear on HN would be covered by "tv news."

  None of those links are about this "open letter". This open letter is by employees of OpenAI and Google, whereas those links are about what Anthropic.
