People shouldn’t overthink blog posts. Just write what’s on your mind and have fun.

  The motivation is obviously clear. No-one would be doing that for fun 24/7, only covering about AI and nothing else without getting paid for it. If anyone else did that on HN, they would be accused of slop with their domain blacklisted.

    There are many people with unbridled enthusiasm and an ability to write fast Knowing Simon - he’s very much both :)

    "only covering AI" - don't miss my wildlife photography! https://simonwillison.net/elsewhere/sighting/ https://simonwillison.net/elsewhere/sighting/ (Unless photos of actual pelicans count as "AI" content now.) I just shipped this filter UI so you can see my other non-AI-tagged content in one place: https://simonwillison.net/search/?exclude.tag=ai https://simonwillison.net/search/?exclude.tag=ai

      > "only covering AI" - don't miss my wildlife photography! The "ai" tagged posts (2,100+) significantly outnumber "sighting" posts by orders of magnitude. Even searching HN, this post is the very first mention of it. Perhaps that is why everyone here (except you) overlooks that or why we don't see much more of those sightings posts here either.

        Yeah, wildlife photography is a new hobby - it used to be every few months, now it's several times a week. I would be very surprised if one of my sightings posts made it to Hacker News. Maybe if I manage to snap a photo of an actual pelican perched on a bicycle some time.
