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.

curious, couldn't AL/llm related content also have interesting new information? im not referring to ai generated sloppy articles. more so the deep tech behind it. personally im super interested in machine learning and love it when i come across such links here.

From time to time, you find something AI/LLM related that is interesting. Like the people trying to save money by speeding up their audio before submitting for transcription. Not only did it save money, but improved accuracy. It's those kinds of finds that are interesting in the hacker sense. Increasing the number of tokens at a certain point has a negative affect. Okay, someone is taking that hacker ethos to see what happens when the knobs are twisted. Showing me yet another image manipulation tool or new chat bot? Yawn. Next.
