To go along with that, it's also crowding out a whole generation's worth of labor and innovation. We're not curing cancer, we're churning out TPS reports faster and drowning in Show HN shovelware.
To be fair, i dont think there is a huge overlap in the people who can cure cancer and the people vomiting out Show HN projects
The overlap comes from the cancer-curing-capable people also drowning in AI slop and people using AI to flood the space with ideas on how to solve cancer and funders wanting to see people using AI because they think it will solve cancer, etc.
It affects everybody.
I’d wager if you filter out Show HN projects that have been maintained <2wks it would sift more gold to the top
