Yeah, they know their moat is evaporating as the Chinese models continue to catch up, and at a much cheaper price.

Also, why has my comment been flagged? It is sitting at positive votes but has suddenly been flagged for no apparent reason?

If you mean https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48481131, users flagged it. We can only guess why users flag things. Perhaps it was because they thought the comment broke the site guidelines by being snarky and/or fulminatey?

I don't think it was an extreme case of that, so I've turned off the flags now.

Thanks for staying on top of these things dang - such an important topic so it’s great to see the discussion rage but stay constructive.
Thanks big dog
I mean it’s pretty tame and actually adds to the conversation.

It feels somewhat obvious that someone just disagreed and flagged it.

Is there a system for holding people accountable who abuse flags?

Yup there is.

I've restored a few other comments that were similarly flagged as well.
