I still see them occasionally and read them when I can. Because the content a human has made is much more interesting than something possibly plausible but useless that an Agent could tell me. I've been working on a project that'll look at the HN new submissions and start to filter out the stuff I really don't care about (news, product announcements, stuff about LLMs), which makes technical blogs more likely to show up, then I can bookmark them for later reading

Mine is and rightly so. AI will do a better job at educating you on any technical subject than I could have ever hoped for.

I can only hope my years of writing and open source code projects are useful to OpenAI otherwise it was all for nothing.

If you write one for likes and shares then yeah, totally dead. The same is true for all internet content though. AI has removed the need for anyone to ever visit a website again if they're happy to read what AI generates.

If you write one to solidify your thinking, or for you to refer back to in the future, then they're just as useful as ever.

Also, if you write a good post people will drop into the comments to accuse you of generating it, which is pretty disheartening. You can't blame people for not sharing.

I'm searching for them harder than ever. Ironically, I have agents crawl for independent bloggers so I can add more people to my ever-growing RSS feed.

They’re not dead. They’re resting ;-)
