each time I read a article about AI, I become frustrated again and again. If the end of world is coming, why I live?

Not sure why anyone would hide those entries. This kind of thing is basically going to fuel our industry for the next 10 to 15 years.

Yes, it's neat. But you can play with the tool(s) without it being the only topic you consume day-in, day-out. Missing HN submissions about it won't leave me/you/anyone a barbarian. :)

It would be nice if you could set a threshold on the stories to be hidden. Say, any AI story with under 50 upvotes or so. That way you can still be informed on the big breakthroughs but not get bogged down on the little projects.

Not only for AI, but for any other topic, you can reduce the noise while focusing on more interesting content within the same criteria. I am interested about AI/GPT (already building software using it and following their development) but you have to admit, SNR is low right now even in HN. The doomsday comments. The low quality substack armchair opinion piece about the end of humanity in the next week. The crazy tweets, etc. If you are actually interested in AI, you won't probably like these either. This will hopefully change, like any other fad, and give their place for more interesting content on this same topic.

We have been hearing this for a decade, that's why we are sick of hearing it again. Just do the fundamental shifts already.

It's not the end of the world. Someone once found out that people part with their money easier when they think it's the end of the world, and now that ploy is run amok. It's easier than trying to do something good.

> We have been hearing this for a decade,

But that's not true. What we have been seeing was attempts that looked marginally useful. Helpdesk chats that were only able to handle simplest problems and would respond with something stupid more often than not. Things that did not really look threatening to actual people doing their jobs well.

What I saw recently, on the other hand, is something that can actually perform useful, novel work and that can actually replace some marginally productive people. And this is very important difference.
