This kind of conspiratorial thinking is ridiculous.

My life is affected for better or worse because of AI - I’m forced to use it at my day job as an R&D. It is perfectly rational and expected and preferable for AI to be the front news in a technology forum.

You probably don’t like AI but that is completely different from being affected by it.

I was talking about the metrics on HN you are talking about how AI improved you life (or didn't). Two different things in my opinion. I'm using AI myself btw. This isn't the point.

  • Your life is changed by it. You expect to not be shown posts on a technology forum on a technology that actually changed your life. How is this coherent?

    • It's perfectly coherent. For instance; mRNA vaccines changed your life, why are you ignoring it to bloviate about LLMs? How is that coherent? AI has had a much smaller impact on humanity, relatively speaking.

      Suffice it to say that HN is not well-suited for people obsessing over a pet topic, like you seem to be. Many of us have nothing against LLMs, and are embarrassed by your passionate and fruitless defense of the technology. If AI is so great, go make a name for yourself with it and stop bothering us for attention. Go on, stop wasting your valuable time and change humanity. We'll wait.
