At this point I can't even tell reality from satire anymore.

View on HN

At the risk of derailing the thread, your comment is a poignant reminder of Baudrillard's simulacra & simulation.

Also, not satire... although written with a healthy dose of token-in-cheek :]

I wish I could have a HN front page without AI (or "$foo rewrite in Rust"). I'm not an anti-AI luddite, but it's just way too much at this point. Surely there are other interesting hackery topics we could talk about.

Flag them all and hope more do the same.

HN is available as RSS and you or I could vibe code up a filtering proxy in ten minutes, and you could use that in your feed reader. It’s easier to solve the problem than to complain about it.

Add another 2 minutes and you could have the list of keywords to filter as a configurable url parameter, so you can amend it easily when the next technology you want to hate comes along.

Ironically this would be pretty easy to train an AI to do with Greasemonkey

At least this hype cycle seems to be accelerating. Its always darkest before the light. So hopefully the day after every single front page link is something AI related, there won't be any. But that might be because the earth has exploded and not because the bubble finally burst.

The thread before with someone flogging off their educational book they wrote "with Claude in an afternoon", as if anyone would benefit from investing days or weeks of learning effort into consuming something the author couldn't be fucked spending even a single day on, that one was well crafted satire, right?

...right?

perhaps you need to improve your sleep routine

seriously tho.. yeah I'm a skeptical bastard in every aspect of my life these days. its exhausting.
