Poor HN. Is there a glimpse of the next hype train we can prepare to board once AI gets dulled down? This has basically made the site unusable.

Poor HN.
Is there a glimpse of the next hype train we can prepare to board once AI gets dulled down? This has basically made the site unusable.
- acedTrex 1y agoIt has made large parts of the internet and frankly previously solid tools and products unusable. Just look at the Github product being transformed into absolute slop central its wild. Github universe was exclusively focused on useless LLM additions.
- gh0stcat 1y agoI'm interested to see what the landscape of public code will look like in the next few years, with sites like StackOverflow dropping off and discussions moving to discord, plus code generation flooding github, writing your own high quality code in the open might become very valuable.
- yoz-y 1y agoAt the moment 6 out of 30 front page articles are about AI. That’s honesty quite okay.
- lagniappe 1y agoI use something called the Rust Index, where I compare a term or topic to the number of posts with "written in Rust" in the title.
- absurdo 1y agoC-can we get an open source of this? Is it written in Rust?
- steveklabnik 1y agoHN old timers would call this it Erlang Index.
- lagniappe 1y agoI was just thinking about you.
- ManlyBread 1y agoMy sentiments exactly, lately browsing HN feels like a sales pitch for LLMs, complete with the same snark about "luddites" and promises of future glory I remember back when NFTs were the hot new thing in tech. Two more weeks I guess.
- Kiro 1y agoNFTs had zero utility but even the most anti AI posts are now "ok, AI can be useful but what are the costs?". It's clearly something different.
- whynotminot 1y agoReally? I feel like hackernews is so anti-AI I go to other places for the latest. Anything posted here gets destroyed by cranky programmers desperately hoping this is just a fad.
- tptacek 1y agoI share this complaint, for what it's worth.
- layer8 1y agoAnti-aging is an evergreen.
