First: It was probably killed by readers, not by the powers that be at YC.
Second: It was probably killed because, among those attending Bilderberg, Sam Altman is far from the most interesting. And of all the things Sam Altman is doing, attending Bilderberg is far from the most interesting or concerning. So the article seems to be trying to grab the maximum amount of attention, rather than having much substance.
Third: The article is written in a very slanted way. As others said in the other thread, "elites"? Or "successful businesspeople"? You can slant the message by the terms you use, and this article seems to be slanted toward a somewhat conspiracist viewpoint, which is not necessarily objectively warranted.
Fourth: We've got a lot more interesting stuff to discuss here than Sam Altman attending Bilderberg.
So all in all, I don't have a problem with it being killed.
