| |||||||||||||||| 3 points by | Its now clear that we need to preserve tech press for non AI related things. Techmeme for example is now completely overrun with AI stories. HN is getting closer to that every day. If AI kickback deals, phony new model ratings, high RAM prices and your surprise at how you think you coded something with AI and it was AMAZING! even though it doesnt work is all there is count me out. We need a filter on existing tech news sites or an alternative press. | ||||||||||||||| |
