I’m sad that it’s crowded out all the interesting stuff I used to love learning about on HN.

#42AI is fine . The hype is annoying. What's even worse though are the incredible amounts of money and energy that are being thrown at it, with no regard for the consequences, in times of record inequality and looming climate apocalypse. AI is the red herring that'll waste all our attention until it's too late.
AI is one of the causes that climate change is accelerating, which is another in a long list of reasons to hate it.

#43I don't think I'm quite bored. I'm exhausted/fatigued with the pace.
This.
I don't know how I'm burnt out from making this thing do work for me. But I am.

#44I think what's crazy is the desire to replicate current day corporate structures. Look at this multi agent Jira story reading bot that builds stuff cause we let it churn overnight. Like the whole idea that you don't need that nonsense to build something amazing.

#45“it’s all starting to feel a bit… routine” and that’s how I know it’s going to replace me if I stay an employee

#46This is bad in tech. But at least we are (relatively) well equipped to deal with it.
My partner teaches at a small college. These people are absolutely lost, with administration totally sold on the idea that "AI is the future" while lacking any kind of coherent theory about how to apply it to pedagogy.
Administrators are typically uncritically buying into the hype, professors are a mix of compliant and (understandably) completely belligerent to the idea.
Students are being told conflicting information -- in one class that "ChatGPT is cheating" and in the very next class that using AI is mandatory for a good grade.
Its an absolute disaster.

No, it’s… fine. Useful in a limited capacity. Not the machine god, but not machine Satan either. The reality is kind of boring.

#49Kinda tired of being inundated with low quality AI slop absolutely everywhere.

And the desire to not want to understand things.
