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.

People who are a little late to the site may not know there was a time on HN where Erlang has even more frontage submission than the best of AI / LLM.

Ruby Rails, Postgres, SQLite, Rust, etc. They all have their moments and I dont think LLM right now is as overwhelming as any other hyped moments. Certainly not Erlang.

Microservices had a micro moment not much longer than xml.

If it follows the name, it's gonna be terrible since we're dealing with large language models
