People complaining about investors throwing stupid sums of money at stupid or trivial things unrelated (or only marginally related) to AI? ...sounds to me like the first glimpse of hope I have come across in this industry for half a decade.
Is it unrelated though?

Investor narrative pointing out a relationship is not the same as substantive technological overlap.
HN has always been skeptical of VC, ironically, so that's no indication of anything in the overall industry.
HN is not a hive mind with a single opinion. You get the extreme opinions of both sides and every nuance in between. There are people here who despise VC and people who live for it and think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.
No, but trends are very prevalent, it is not a uniform random distribution.
Unless you've done a study of sentiment on HN (please link if so) then you have no idea.
