I remember being downvoted for pointing out Musk's narcissism years ago when he was a saint on this site. The HN hive mind has it's own panoply of topics that are taboo to the tribe. On the plus side, I have noticed fewer unfair downvotes in the past few years. I rarely have to vouch for someone who makes a reasoned statement that offends the local snowflakes.

I get downvoted every time I point out that generative AI is at this point mostly a bad faith tech used by scammers and over confident CEO's desperate to lay people off.
