I seem to be totally outside the hype bubble, but I have to suspect there is a lot of imagineering and wild extrapolations in the elss technical hype bubbles. I am curious but no enough to go looking.

>I seem to be totally outside the hype bubble

I'm surprised you say that because it is all over Hacker News. Every single post is co-opted into promoting AI. Try finding a submission with fifty points or more than doesn't have AI or LLM's mentioned somewhere in the comments.

That's a good point, I guess I see the Hacker News hype a bit more realistically then maybe I should. HN has definitely changed in the sense that I rarely see interesting technology or achievements hit the front page, that aren't AI related. It feels like AI has taken all the oxygen from the room.

Feel free to retire from the field if you grow tired of seeing its latest developments.

I already have.

That’s not really the point though. I have no doubt AI is useful, I just don’t want to have it shoved in my face every five minutes.
