As for the "Elon fingering your amygdala with a ridiculous hypothetical" snark, well, I think the HN crowd in particular understands how the culture wars are just theater to push through billionaires' personal self-centered interests at the expense of everyone else. If that level of pull-aside-the-curtains pragmatism is really "snark against HN guidelines", well, I think 3/4 of the comments on the site would be flagged and deleted.
Your question was “Was there actually a case of a model saying "America's founding father were black women"
Whether someone else is injecting different bias is whataboutism. So it seems you are trying to make a different point, but not being clear about it.
And your “I think the HN crowd understands…” point is just a “no true Scotsman” fallacy to veil an argument that goes against guidelines. Related to the broader topic, there is a role for self-policing if we don’t want the site to be a cesspool of rage bait.
