In a kind of personal plot twist way I'm happy with the outcome. I've now spent way less time here.

If before there was a bit of an attachment to checking what was going on on HN, now there's an overall meh. I still do visit out of habit, but when I do, I have this blasé attitude that quickly takes me away. Too much LLM this or that, AI everywhere.

HN being one of the last Social Media sites I've engaged with, it's good to finally let it go. Yay?

Dunno, I felt way worse during the crypto boom days. At least the AI stuff has a bit more of a generally useful application.

I get my "people doing interesting things" fixes on YouTube and Hackaday.

The problem with the current wave of AI is that it isn't "generally useful" yet. These AI systems can be very effective in certain situations when they are used with the specific knowledge of their flaws, but they are being applied to a much too broad use case today. Granted the valid use cases for crypto were miniscule in comparison, so I won't quibble too much with your general point.

Although the most frustrating aspect to me is that the people who were shown to be right about crypto have not earned any gravitas when they say similar things about AI. So many charlatans were saved by a second bubble immediately inflating as the previous bubble popped and we are once again ignoring the people calling them charlatans despite the proven track record for calling out this behavior. Seemingly no one learned anything.

During the crypto boom days it was more of a fight in the comments, wasn't it?

Same. I think this is what I need to gradually stop visiting. I'm also not sure how many of the accounts making those posts and comments are bots.
