Well, it looks this post has already been flagged down onto page 7.

And IIRC, the same thing happened to the "oh shit" moment thread you linked to. Did the mods have to intervene to get it back on the front page?

HN might not be anti-AI, but I feel like the way flags are weighted by the ranking allows a minority that is extremely anti-AI to create the impression that it is.

EDIT: And now it's back.

Not flagged. It set off the flamewar detector. We monitor those and eventually reverse the false positives. Mostly.
