The relationships of large organizations can be surprisingly complex; consider Apple and Samsung. YC isn't large, of course, but Infosys is. The information content of the OpenAI funding announcement for immigration questions is probably zero. (No special knowledge behind this comment, just a general observation.)

Edit: Please don't break the HN guidelines by complaining about downvoting. Downvotes to your comment upthread are not because of any "Infosys brigade"; they're most likely because it combined oversimplification with negativity and because it points discussion toward a pre-existing controversy that is off topic here.

Off topic: But I have always wondered why we have a threashold to hit before we can downvote comments - but why can we never downvote posts? Or is the karma threshold just really high to have that function?

By posts do you mean stories, i.e. the kind of submission that appears on the front page? If so, HN doesn't have downvotes for those. The flagging mechanism is arguably something similar though.

Yes, I did... thanks!
