Ask HN: How should I proceed reading HN?

3•RoadieRoller•2h ago
I've been reading (and contributed less) Hacker News for more than two decades (using two accounts).

Back in 2005 when I started, there were very nice discussions, technical depth in comments, and it was my daily habit to read this before I start my office work. In fact, many people have started billion dollar companies from HN comments[0].

Now, all that is gone. Posts are too fast to follow. Too many identical posts, and too fast paced for anyone.

I still work in Software, but the feel of singularity is very high. Whatever is in discussion in HN is shallow, the topics are all around AI and I feel the pace is too much for me to relax and read (or read, relax, and think about it).

Can we get back to the state of human centric discussions rather than fast-paced AI advancement posts which has less human in it?

My take is that the "new/" page is spammed with slop articles about AI ("I vibe code something that almost worked? or "Ask HN: How come I can't get as good results with AI as Karpathy says he gets?") but that on most days the voting tends to restore the ratio on the front page. Today looks bad though. I think Open Clawed or whatever it is to blame for the latest wave.

My advice: upvote stories that are not slop about AI, submit stories that are not slop about AI.
