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.

Nope. While the blockchain craze was less meaningful and slightly less annoying, it died down. This will too (even though there's more actual value hiding in corners).

There are certainly periods where one concept is "viral" and appears quite often; that's normal.

It seems that, for this to be true, AI (not just LLM) will have to plateau, very soon. Considering the Nobel prize for chemistry, last year, was about AI (not LLM) [1], I think there are still an incredible number of non-LLM applications of AI out there still.
