It's not hypocrisy, it's diversity.

HN is not a person, it's a forum with lots of people with different opinions. Depending on dozens of factors (time of day, title of the article, who gets in first) different opinions will dominate.

I've seen threads on Copilot that overwhelmingly come down in favor of Microsoft and threads on Stable Diffusion that come down hard against it. Also, even in a thread that has a lot of one opinion, there are always those who express the opposite view.

Funny thing - the forum works like a language model. It doesn't have one set personality, but it can generate from a distribution of people. The language model can generate from a distribution of prompts, which might be persona descriptions.
