Lately I've noticed posts with barely 10 points getting to HN frontpage. Was it always like this?

On weekends, yes. During the week, that’s also true if they arrive within a short time frame, e.g., three minutes. Almost no one looks at “New”. That is the real issue.

I just assume bots

Bots doing what? How would the poster being a bot influence why the post itself makes it to the front page with just 10 points?

I believe it's the way the HN algorithm works. In order to give new and obscure posts a shot, it will add them to peoples feeds in their front page and see how they measure. Otherwise new posts wouldn't get seen and the flywheel would never get started.

So everyone acts as a sort of beta tester for obscure posts.

I actually can’t wait for the future where I upgrade hardware in order to upgrade my ai as an alternative to an expensive subscription.

There are many problems I want to work on which require billions of tokens. These are completely inaccessible without corporate project sponsorship at the moment. An asic generation machine which can pump out a few 10s of thousands of tokens per second at opus4.6 quality is more than sufficient.
