The thing is that I don't really stand by that article and didn't really stand by it two years later because things really changed. When I wrote that there had been an Apple conference that I thought was particularly boring, today the Apple obsession is tamed and Apple news interests me more (and Apple fanboys turned from being uncritical to talking like one of those "Why X Sucks" videos that are big on Youtube, where X could be a fast food chain, video game studio, ...)
Looking at the list of hosts there I note that people still post articles from The New York Times despite them hardly ever frontpaging. I think phys.org (ScienceX) wasn't a thing back then, there was a time I thought I was the main booster (like I am for https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=coindesk.com) but it's a big source that many people post from and others complain about. (YOShInOn and I short circuit it and post the original paper if it is open access as much as we can)
BTW, I count four articles about AI on the front page right now, it's not like it is totally overrun.
