Why are half of the comments on Hackernews stereotypical AI-bros whose lives revolve around tech, and the other half sceptical commentators whose lives also revolve around tech but they are disappointed with its performance?!
Where are the normal people :/
The people in the middle are still waiting and see , mostly it’s the extremes that are fully vested and loudest on the internet
We are just reading the comments.
Why would a non-tech person be on Hacker News? Isn't the clue in the name?
Both parts seem pretty normal to me.
"Normal people" probably does not fall in the ballpark of HN target audience.
I'd say its 50/50 pessimistic and optimistic, with pessimistic attracting more attention because of human nature.
