When I asked dang about why are very low quality submissions allowed despite them resulting in low quality discussion, he told me and I quote:
> You can flag submissions that you think don't belong on Hacker News.
Well, this is a very low quality submission in my eyes. A tiny read with an unsubstantiated, purely contrarian take that completely misses the point of the debate. Just to be clear, I think anyone is free to post anything on their blogs, that's what they're for, but I don't think posts like these contribute to HN having a good atmosphere for discussion; if I were to write something like this, I'd be ok with it being unsuitable for HN.
BTW I hadn't flagged this before reading your comment. I've done so after reading the submission though.
Well, this is a very high quality submission in my eyes. To the point and very much true (in my view). And, no, I'm not kidding or trolling. You have a strong opinion about AI, but so do other people. There's no debate to be had if you can just censor certain views out of existence on this website.
