I still used to frequent it all the way up to last month, for some interesting discussions. But now... it's really become AI-pro^[Yes, I know it's been that way for a while, but either I'm feeling it more or the bots have gamed the website to the point that all you see are announces from big tech companies or people going on about their AI solutions] and any post that even hints about AI existentialism gets immediately cut down.

I find it hard to browse the site anymore, and lament the loss of expert tech discussion in my weekly routine.

I mean HN has been a dumpsterfire for at least 5 years, with 90% trash and 10% useful content. But I agree, there are now lots of AI proponents (who are all apparently building a killer app that will launch "soon" to make them millions; but they can't go into detail because the idea is genius. Don't worry, it won't be possible to copy the app via AI when it launches, because they spent 50k$ in tokens on it).
