I disagree, I think it is satire showing the over-hyped nature of Watson and AI in general during this latest VC investment boom. HN still has room for humor

I disagree too. I think that humor should be allowed on hacker news. I mean as long as the jokes aren't at the expense of the ideology of the majority of hacker news's users. In that case, that humor should be downvoted and removed.

I agree that there's room for humor. But for that, it should be well-written satire that makes that point.

"[T]hey renamed it Watson Health due to the fact Watson is going to run the entire division itself" is a complete non-sequitur, just filling up space.

That's not what a non sequitur is.

Massive layoffs at a company that hypes its AI and is actually named after that same technology is called "irony", not non sequitur. I'm disappointed for having to explain this.
