I think the “big tech is evil“ and “SV start-ups will save us” groups both still exist but remain distinct and haven’t coordinated the triggers that make each group become vocal. I don’t think there’s a lot of overlap in their membership, so it’s not like hypocrisy, it’s more like different people believing different things for different reasons.

However there are many other sentiments held reasonably by various subgroups, like, “this board overstepped and hasn’t explained itself to our satisfaction” or “we love our boss, he makes us wealthy,” or “if they take my chatGPT away, I’ll be pissed” or “man , I just invested $13B into this ridiculously governed venture and if I don’t fix this my wealth will never approach Balmer’s”
