| Five of the top eleven posts right now are about AI: 1. Inkling: Our Open-Weights Model [https://thinkingmachines.ai/news/introducing-inkling/] 2. High-Bandwidth Flash offers efficient storage for model weights [https://spectrum.ieee.org/high-bandwidth-flash] 3. Grok Build is open source [https://github.com/xai-org/grok-build] 4. Governments, companies, nonprofits should invest in free, open source AI [pdf] [https://www.siegelendowment.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/f...] 5. An Interactive Map of AI [https://artifipedia.com/map] I would only say the discussion on #3 is particularly negative and as others mentioned Grok has a lot of its own baggage: Elon Musk, recently uploading home directories without asking, making sexual imagery of minors, etc. (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/22/grok-ai-g...) --- So a little less than half of the top 10 stories are about AI and only 1 is negative but that one potentially has other factors at play. Contrast this to how the general public feels about AI: "A majority of registered voters, 57%, said they believe the risks of AI outweigh its benefits, compared with 34% who said the opposite. What’s more, a plurality of voters view AI negatively ... Just 26% of voters say they have positive feelings about AI, compared with 46% who hold negative views. In fact, the only topics with a lower net positive rating than AI in the NBC News survey were the Democratic Party and Iran." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/poll-majority... --- Given all that, I would say HN has a more pro-AI bias than the general population.
