Given that HN is fundamentally a venture capital organization, I think it's typical that it emphasizes the latest hype cycle. That's were VC is active (for better or worse).
But HN has also evolved into a more general tech news aggregator. In this use case, the over emphasis of the latest "hotness" is annoying.
For myself, I'm not an LLM fanboy, and just skip those posts.
What I find most annoying at HN lately is the flagging of an increasing number of articles that someone somewhere doesn't agree with.
I would ask them to simply skip those post, like I do for LLM articles, and let people who are interested in discussing those topics have their discussion.
Shutting down other peoples conversations is a disturbing trend that I feel it is giving HN more of a one sided echo chamber feel.
