Who’s to say it’s saturated? I’d say you can only say saturated relative to the historical popularity of other topics on HN throughout the years. There’s no real golden rule here Like it or not AI is not only a huge trend, it really is a paradigm shift in all sorts of aspects Would be curious to see the breakdown of this statistic

>Who’s to say it’s saturated? Well, you apparently just did. Saturation is indeed relative (or rather, on a spectrum with varying subjective lines). You can explain why it's saturated, but that still means it's saturated. >Like it or not AI is not only a huge trend, it really is a paradigm shift in all sorts of aspects Sure, so was fracking. I wasn't in this community back then, but I'd wager somehow we didn't have 1 in 5 articles about how much better society can drill oil.

  I don’t know why you felt compelled to reply with a “duh are you stupid” type of response, but if that’s just your style I guess that’s fine I was literally expressing curiosity and wondering what the frequency relative to past topics and trends is and totally open to it being actually saturated I didn’t define or explain what saturated is, I said it’d be good to see those stats - you don’t know the answer as you’re obviously conjecturing about fracking popularity quantified on HN but don’t actually know anything regarding those numbers (you might now after you go look them up to reply to this, nj) And fwiw hn includes a lot of article types but it’s obviously already slanted towards tech so if you don’t see how much closer ai is related to tech and why it’d be more popular than fracking then I don’t know what to tell you If anything, I should have noticed that they are talking about show HN because that does change things but I’d still be curious to see stats Like it’s not that serious I don’t know why you got so offended Either way, not interesting in engaging with some hn smart ass atm so have a good day and feel free to have the last word Last thing I’ll say is HN is so fickle, have no clue why I’m getting downvoted Sometimes I feel like it would be great if it were required to enter a reason

    >Like it’s not that serious I don’t know why you got so offended If you took my reply that way, I don't know what to say. I'll respect your caustic retort and cut off the conversation. HN isn't the place for flamewrs. >Last thing I’ll say is HN is so fickle, have no clue why I’m getting downvoted Note that I cannot downvote a direct reply. So I am not responsible for those actions.
