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. HN is like this. It skews heavy towards startups and right now if you have one of those and you aren't putting AI in your investor propaganda, you're not going to get many investors.

Besides, it's already starting to slow as people realize AI isn't as great as the influencers want you to believe.

I haven’t noticed any slowing, if anything it’s accelerating as people try vibe coding and realize they can build an mvp and get some suckers to sponsor on GitHub. Just look how many end up with donate links. I suspect a large portion of people releasing open source vibe coded projects don’t care about the project but see it as a low effort way to make a few bucks.
