I think I get your point. Somehow you imagined that I was attacking HN and saying that here is an echo chamber. And somehow you took that personally too. First of all: I still think the news cycle is skewed towards AI news, case in point: even most of the items on HN front list right now are not news or not tech related. The tech related ones right now (Oct7th-7:15pm PST time) are either: - AI news; - Antitrust/lawsuit/lobbying related to bigtechs (kinda tech news, kinda business news); - Apple related news about their new products and rumors about future hardware And I don't mean just HN but also looking at my favorite tech podcasts that send tech news (techmeme, hardfork, this week in tech, and so on); So yeah, objectively speaking not many tech news outside of AI (unless you consider the law stuff and Apple ads). -- Second point, and I beg to differ from your main point: I think there are different groups here on HN and I assume some people may know things I don't know. AI is getting a lot of attention, but there are a lot of building doing other interesting things in silence. I hope this clarifies what I meant by news cycle, because I literally meant news and not just frontpage links, and I don't assume the echo chamber is gone... But I also do not assume that everyone is in a conspiracy to post only AI stuff - that just it is natural when most of the money and startups are looking to AI the topic will sometimes burry other things happening. Btw, have you checked the Show HN recent posts? It is in a similar situation. Does it mean I think that all HN people are building only AI stuff? no.
