Super weird comments on this thread, to the point I would think it's brigaded or some (most) comments are straight up AI generated. Hackernews definitely changed. The tone on AI changed since a few months ago, I guess also because many people here are working on AI. Almost any new startup is AI-adjacent now. It's no surprise, cca. 120 out of 150 YC startups are AI. So there is a big push on this forum to keep the hype and sentiment going.
The hard part is always the last 20%.
I was thinking the same thing as I scrolled through. Half the comments are some AI generated homage to AI. I’ve seen Anthropic pushing so much marketing BS on X/Twitter that wouldn’t surprise me if it extended to HN.
Theres just no point arguing anymore so i just stopped. These tools can by design not work the way its advertised but if you point that out youll be hit with walls of generated "arguments" why it will be different any day now.
