I understand this topic brings out the worst in some users, but the governing of AI bias is an important issue that is on topic for HN. I don't know what the purpose of this site is if topics like this always get flagged killed within minutes.

I completely agree. Hopefully it was just due to how quickly it got flagged and mods correct this. It's relevant in at least 2 ways to HN (AI governance, Meta/large tech corps)

It doesn't matter if mods approve it later. By the time they do, the momentum is killed and it won't show up for anyone. They don't resume the upvote momentum the post had at the time of being flagged off. The time after that is counted against it even though no one will see it to consider upvoting meanwhile.

The mod’s have shown time and time again that they think this is exactly how things should work and that if you think there’s any kind of effort by groups of people to flag things on ideological grounds than you are just paranoid.

I simply cannot get myself to a point where they sincerely believe that but they keep saying the same nonsense again and again.

Antipatterns of Free speech is allowed so long as it benefits my side. and Topic X always leads to Y, so you can't talk about it.

If someone were looking for rational, robust debate on the most pressing and critical topics, this (and most online forums) historically haven't been the venue for that.

Call in to C-SPAN or Thom Hartmann Monday to Friday for that. ;@)

That's exactly why I submitted it here.
