Story

Times change, and as they change so do communities you interact with. I used to like coming to HN because the discussions were often far away from the stresses of the world (politics, local news tragedies, etc.)

Lately though its article after article on LLMs. Pro LLM or Anti LLM. These discussions come closer to the stresses of the world than the typical HN post did historically. Well, at least to me.

They often quickly become “AI is bad” or “AI is amazing” in the discussions. I want to mention, I’m not pro or against either way. There doesn’t need to be sides to pick.

Do these posts that dominate the top make you happy? For me it’s turned HN into a place that stresses.

PS. I’m not asking for coping mechanisms, I’ve already cut my time here reading down a bunch :)
