Why was tupac's comment flagged, it was genuinely funny and also something worthy of discussion. What if big tech are the next nuclear superpowers? Thats a talking point. Censorship on HN seems a little out of control. Then I remind myself its just a forum for a VC company in N America and it all seems to make sense.

It's likely the phrasing more than the idea. If you want to raise controversial talking points, predictable quips like that ain't the format for it.

It's not a substantive talking point, and this forum should encourage reasonable conversations not politically-hued science fiction; a Microsoft refining and enriching fissile material to weapons-grade would be one thing in and of itself.

Let's imagine, for your sake, if Elon, Bezos, Gates and Zuck, hell, maybe Branson - they all had a handful of bespoke nukes. Starship becomes Startshit, or whatever clever branding the tech bros come up for their "private enterprise physical defense AI-driven atomic-oriented energy constraint circumvention systems" that can guarantee corporate continuation in the event of micro-scale nuclear warfare.

(this is literally the plot to Fallout, IIRC).

so okay, now they're "superpowers," somehow, in this fictional world where the instant any of these organizations begin the path to centrifugal enrichment toward weapons-grade material, the IAEA and the DOE and nine thousand other detection agencies are just going to allow it?

HN used to be a bastion, the place you'd lurk because you'd only keep learning. Network effect + time just middles the Bell.

So no, there's no need for some "censorship" when the masses can recognize and downvote stupidity. The system is working.

Not bug, feature.
