Almost 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 been using https://www.unslop.news for non AI related content.

		Me too, but if you click on the comments you land on HackerNews, and there you are again..

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

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.

At least we moved past blockchain and crypto! But at what cost...

I suppose that demonstrates a third possibility, that the bubble will burst and the hype train will end. I'm personally more bullish on its usefulness than that, but again, I guess we'll see.

		I too doubt it will pop the way crypto did. The difference being, if you ignore the weird financing and ya know, societal collapse from AI, it's doing something useful! But it sure felt like every HN story for a bit was crypto/blockchain/NFT related.

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.

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-related news could have special tag as “show HN” describes exactly what you can expect. “AI:”

		You are reinventing the tags. And yes, tags for submissions would be nice, if users can add them. Especially if filtering on tags is made easy.
