Obviously there was a a million crypto posts and it was annoying but crypto covered a specific niche of overall software stuff (payment processing).
With LLMs it feels like every topic somehow has to come back to LLMs.
I currently work as a ML Eng at FAANG so maybe it adds to my exhaustion on the topic.
Same here, for sure. I just try to dodge it all as best I can. Seems like every question has the possible answer of LLMs, and nearly always, someone provides it.
Oh right, that must just be because I'm not giving it the magic prompt that makes them magically turn into geniuses.
The new problem is this only works when you can verify the answers.
Any HN topic now just feels like a small jump to LLMs.
I recognize my above is a bit of a strawman, hard to recall exact posts / comments over the years.
At the time it was everything blockchain. Not just payments. Decentralized, smart contracts and the like.
I just don't see why every time we need to go through the incredible hype / death cycle.
LLMs are a useful tool if used properly, I hope I start seeing them used to create distinct value.
