alt Hacker NewsAlmost everything in the new submissions is about AI and has been for a while now. Same with the links you see. It's getting to the point where non-AI tech news and information is completely drowned out. Stepping back month by month you can see how the AI content increases exponentially. Soon it'll be all you can read about it unless something is done. Perhaps a yc.ai site for AI-related news and discussion?

I have a browser extension that auto-clicks the Hide button for entries with AI-related terms in the title. Helps surface the interesting stories. https://github.com/ColdPie1/enough-ai-on-hn
I think AI is only part of the story. No one is investing in anything else. Even all the AI news is navel gazing and not really a lot of "this start-up used AI to 10x whatever."
AI is still the new big thing. Remains to be seen whether it will eventually just become a relatively stable part of the substrate, like the internet, or if the curve will keep bending upward - in which case it will likely remain top of mind as long as human minds are relevant. My bet's on the former, but we'll see.
I don’t typically read “new”. I use the default HN page. And there only 5 of the 25 stories are AI related. That seems very reasonable.
AI-related news could have special tag as “show HN” describes exactly what you can expect. “AI:”
