    Ask HN: Is it time to fork HN into AI/LLM and "Everything else/other?"

    I would very much like to enjoy HN the way I did years ago, as a place where I'd discover things that I never otherwise would have come across.

    The increasing AI/LLM domination of the site has made it much less appealing to me.

    No, will go away just like all the crypto stuff - remember that time? - went away.

    Very few problems were solved by crypto, so it naturally disappeared.

    On the contrary, LLMs based AIs create a lot of new problems.

    Could we have a fork where people talk about Rust somewhere else ;)

    Unlike crypto though LLMs are actually useful.

    You joke--but an article exactly like that has probably been posted here.

    "A broken clock is right twice a day". I guess that's useful too, in a similar kind of way.

    Reading this from a user named "leptons" made me chuckle.

    Blockchain is useful though. Get 10,000 dollars to poland right now and pay less than a cent for the privilege if I’m wrong.

    ‘AI’ used to be shitty chatbots that didn’t work. HN acts like crypto is still in 2015 with slow transfer times and giant fees.
