While I do often have the instinct to completely bury my head in the sand and try to forget it's all happening I'm more concerned with the psychological impact it's having. I'm basically sick and tired of being so sick and tired and exposure to so many continuously miserable headlines isn't helping. What I would like instead is a return to the days when HN was a forum that still showcased cool things people were working on and included discussions on topics outside of the AI-saturated lens that now dominates.
If any good alternatives exist I'd like to join! Or perhaps there are some means of using HN that would allow me to filter the AI noise a bit better. If anyone has had any success with this please let me know!
