You're seriously going to argue that OpenAI changing to a for profit wasn't interesting enough to rise above page 4 of Hacker News? Doesn't the existence of this second thread disprove that claim pretty thoroughly?
I'm pretty sure that what happened is that the Murati thread was id'd by the algorithm as the canonical OpenAI discussion, artificially suppressing the more interesting topic of the complete restructuring of the most important company in existence today.
