The whole frontpage has been infested with LLM BS for a very long time with absurd claims about it being of landing-on-the-moon levels of breakthrough yet here

The whole frontpage has been infested with LLM BS for a very long time with absurd claims about it being of landing-on-the-moon levels of breakthrough yet here you are claiming the ones pointing out this fact are the problem.

Pointing out this fact at every possible opportunity, even when grossly inappropriate, is not helpful.

  [Someone from the moderation team care to explain the reasoning behind flagging this comment?] Characterizing as grossly inappropriate the statement of the reality of the monopoly on research funding on useless -as of now- AI and not even addressing the initial point is very telling of your dedication to VC brainwashing.

So why do you want to drag debates about that into even closer to 100% of all posts?

The whole front page has not been any one topic. Just as the whole of the comments on every submission don't bring up AI either. It's just annoying how relatively often both occur, but neither group seems interested on reigning it in any time soon.

  [Someone from the moderation team care to explain the reasoning behind flagging this comment?] Your judgement concerning the state of the website since the release of GPT3 is flawed. Just take a look at the amount of comments on non-AI topics like the current one. Not counting yours truly, it's a very low volume conversation for a website for the discussion of stories that are intellectually interesting.

    Flagging almost always happens by users, and the mod team can only guess why users flag comments. In the only one still currently flagged (dead/grayed out just means people voted it too low) it's pretty obvious why - you can't just curse how stupid others are or the person you're responding to and expect it to be a valued comment brought to the top. (I didn't flag/downvote any of your comments). 3 of the current top 25 articles (at the time of this comment) are about something AI related (ChatGPT 5.1, Marble and JSX Tool). It's all relatively low volume, it's just never ending is the problem.

      As of 1763032813 the current GPT5.1 has amassed a significant amount of comments to be considered low volume. Sadly I only see my suspicions being confirmed but yeah I'll play along with the HN is the best corner of the Internet narrative.

        I believe GP meant low volume in the context of # of submissions, not comments. However, on that note, as of writing this, the GPT 5.1 submission on the front page has 471 comments. The submission about pennies no longer being minted has 853.
