Maybe I’ve been missing some important stuff, but it seems the most relevant and important updates eventually just bubble up to the front page of HN or get mentioned in the comments

Trying to keep up is like jumping on a 90mph treadmill. I have decided to opt out. I think AI (and currently LLMs) is more than a fad and not going away but it's in a huge state of churn right now. I'm not investing a ton of time into anything until I have to. In another few years the landscape will hopefully be more clear. Or not, but at least I won't have spent a lot of time on stuff that has quickly become irrelevant.

I'm currently not using AI or LLMs in any of my day-to-day work.

I agree pretty strongly

Yeah it's not a fad, but I think it's really not as useful to me right now as the hype seems to suggest

I'm going to keep an eye on developments, but I'm not using it for my day to day either. I'm just not seeing the same value other people seem to be seeing right now and I'm not going to exhaust myself trying to keep up

One day Claude is the best. Next is Cursor. People are switching tools every two weeks trying to keep up

Not for me thanks. Especially not with how inconsistent the quality and output still are
