Since you say this, I'm curious why you've also submitted about a dozen AI/LLM or adjacent articles in just the last two weeks. One was even a few hours before posting this Ask HN. That makes me think I'm not understanding something about your thinking.
You make sense. In my ideal world there would be HNxAI and HN. I'd submit to both, and also regularly frequent each.
