That's because HN doesn't allow editorialised titles, which means injecting your own opinion into the title. The author of the linked article's opinion is still allowed. If you wanted to give your own title you would have to write the article. Even though your title was objectively more correct and useful than the one it's been renamed to.

I updated my post title to reflect the original title and send a mail to the mods to restore the original title. Lets see. I was not aware of the editorialized title rule otherwise I had updated my post before linking it here.

I am the author of the linked article, so you say my opinion should be allowed in the title?

They also removed the fact it was a competition hosted by a prestigious AI lab

your title was rewritten by AI, correct? :)

the slop doesn't bother me as much as the bowdlerized nature of said slop (and search results). sure, there was a lot of slop after the Lapsing of the Press Act (1695), but it was human slop with convictions and syphilis!

HN is paid by openai so makes sense.

No AI-negative posts on HN please lol.
