The funniest thing is Americans really believe what they have is the best in the world. USA is third world country with a Gucci belt

You're absolutely right but this is HN so any criticisms of the great us of a will earn you a storm of down votes.

It's popular and somewhat fashionable these days to be offended at anything, hate men or be racist towards white people. I think she's just trying to tick all the boxes.

It's the oppression olympics of 2024. Some people just like to get offended recreationally.

One observation doesn't count. It's quite apparent from the many street interviews that the uneducated masses voted mostly for trump

How is this the top comment?

You are absolutely right. Most men don't want to be a nurse just like most women won't prefer to be a car mechanic.

HN is in complete denial of this simple fact. It's hilarious how seemingly intelligent people can be so badly influenced by identity politics.

thanks to all the knowledge they contain

This is what's problematic with modern "AI". Most people inexperienced with it, like the parent commenter will uncritically assume these LLMs poses "knowledge". This I find the most dangerous and prevalent assumption. Most people are oblivious to the fact how bad LLMs are.

This comparison makes no sense. If this was in good faith, you'd compare Manhattan and the square mile or westminster.

I'm struggling to believe London Brigde area and the square mile get 5x less congested than New York. What areas of London and New York are we comparing?

nobody wants independent journalism

I stopped reading after that. What a bizarre take

Yup, her content is not very appealing these days.

Yup, most countries in Europe are better to live in than USA. Americans just don't want to be told they're not special.

American exceptionalism is strong in this one.

No, most of us would not like to live and work in the USA.

As always, you guys think too high of yourselves.

This is the new norm on HN. Gang-flagging is rampart but the mods are ok with it most of the time. Altman is a YCombinator darling so of course this post won't stay up long.

It's funny and somehow disappointing how a year ago HN jerked off to Altman and down-voted any critical opinions of him. Just shows no social platform is free of strong group-think and mass hysteria.

I think you completely missed GP's point. Teenagers ARE much more likely to make a bad decision than other groups.

I wish Hollywood used these amazing women's stories to give us great movies instead of gender swapping male stories.

There's plenty of people who would love to watch.

The reason is HN's aggressive moderation

Front page is heavily moderated. It's basically news.ycombinator.com/dang

I don't understand. Having someone blocked prevents them from interacting with you, no?

So what harassment are you referring to?

Also, most of the time blocking is being done by people who spew hateful or misinforming content and then immediately go private the moment they get called out. This happens every day.

This is a good change

Criticism of Israel here on HN will only earn you down votes and flagging. It's not worth it.

At this point forced RTW is just a red flag and a clear giveaway about the company's execs and their culture. I think it's great they are doing this because we know who to avoid on the job market.

Yes and that it happens on cesspool platforms like reddit I can live with. However this is the new norm on HN of all places and it's really concerning. You'll get flagged even for mentioning that coordinated flagging exists on HN.

I agree with you but please don't throw the term fascism left and right to refer to things you disagree with. The word's meaning is already twisted and diluted to the point of uselessness.

I grew up in a communist regime and can assure you tyranical censorship is not exclusive to fascism nor its sole defining part.

But LinkedIn wasn't like that 10 years ago. It was what it was meant to be. To me it feels like TikTok culture infesting all types of social media.

At this point LI is beyond saving but a serious competitor would have to be heavily moderated to stay clean which we all know won't happen.

Why don’t you do the computation

This was your response to my question about children being shot at school. It's clear we have a very different set of values here in Europe.

Does that extra 20k offset the chance you're going to go bankrupt by a medical bill or have your children shot at school?

As much as you're right, posting facts about negative aspects of immigration will get you in trouble or you'll get branded names and down voted at best.

Because most of them are economic migrants so ineligible for asylum.
