#12It's not just here, it's everywhere. I'm excited for the day the hype bubble collapses.
Honestly this. Every product on the market today also shoehorns in AI somewhere, it feels worse than the heyday of CloudToButt in the Cloud frenzy.

#13No, on the contrary, I like it. It’s a huge emerging technology that is changing the world. I suppose if it wasn’t wanted it wouldn’t be upvoted to the front page.

#14OpenAI is valued at ~150 billion.
Anthropic is valued at ~60 billion.
nvidia was valued at $15/share in 2023 and is now valued at $150/share.
It might seem that LLMs have sucked all the air out of the room, this is why. If you find LLMs boring, you are in for a very boring couple of decades - because it's not going away.

#18I actually do like the LLM posts occasionally, and very much like the “good old content” you talk about and that content I can’t find anywhere else, so what can you do?

#19It's mostly "ai" and politics, which mirrors my real life experience that no one is actually interested in doing actual software dev anymore
Yes! I actually forgot to add the politics point in my post which really doubles the exhaustion.
I really loved seeing what things people were up to, not the latest headline from trillion dollar company or the US government.

This too shall pass, just like NFTs and blockchain for everything.
