YCombinator is a tech company whose business model is investing. Seems like OpenAI could be the same.

How is that different from a VC that invests in tech startups? What, exactly, is YC’s tech?

Nobody uses HN because it's an amazing piece of software.

Yeah we do. HN made a lot of intentional choices to avoid becoming a generic social media clone. There's a reason why nobody is replying with reaction GIFs in the comments or linking to rickrolls. HN is a unique piece of software that goes hand in hand with the moderation that augments it.

HN is actually an amazing piece of software in its own minimalistic way

By that definition any business that develops an app or website or forum software is a tech company.

Sounds an awful lot like WeWork trying to brand itself as a tech company.

The success of HN is from its moderation, not from its tech.
