The moment the noise cycle kicked intelligence

Do you feel like news about artificial intelligence, inevitable? You only imagine that. Zach Birkel, director and manager of Applied AI at Ai Firm Firm, tracked the number of posts related to AI that managed to break the 10 best stories on Y Combinator’s Hacker news, and we found that we are suffering The peak of artificial intelligence (yet).

Berkel analysis 24,910 articles and posts managed to break the best 10 Hacker news from January 1, 2019, until August 15, 2025, to determine the amount of momentum that the noise train has acquired. It was found that the interest in artificial intelligence apparently 10x-Ed from the first quarter of 2019, when only 39 jobs related to the prosecution managed to break the list. On the contrary, the third quarter of 2025, which barely almost in the middle of the calendar, has already seen 337 bits of the content of artificial intelligence at the top of the Hacker news.

It is not surprising that we are talking about artificial intelligence now much more than what we were in the pre -chat world, before the world everywhere. But what is a bit shocking is the extent of the conversation recently.

For all Berkel dataThere was a significant increase in artificial intelligence between the fourth quarter of 2022 – which includes the general version of ChatGPT on November 30, 2022 – and the first quarter of 2023, when a conversation on the effects of the tool in heating began. This period witnessed a leap from 89 stories related to the Acting in the first ten places of Q4 2022 to 174 stories in the first quarter of 2023. But this jump-the story that picks up the moment we moved from Chatbot confrontation with the audience that is not found in Q3 and Q3 2025. It becomes the largest high interest in artificial intelligence so far.

This is interesting, because Hacker News is not exactly for beginners. It is not as if this audience only wakes up to access or the repercussions of the vast artificial intelligence tools. It also makes Berkel’s feelings analysis a note indication. It was found that in the AC era (after ChatGPT), no period has witnessed a greater percentage of negative publications about artificial intelligence from the current quarter, which witnessed 42 % of the publications that criticize the topic.

It also happens to be a new peak of a short -term direction, which has witnessed feelings on the transformation of artificial intelligence. In the first quarter of 2025, only 27 % of the best news of news infiltrated on artificial intelligence was negative. This jumped to 36 % in the second quarter, which represented the highest percentage of that time since the introduction to the late 2022 – just to get topped again by the Q3 numbers.

It is almost certain that there is an Amnesty International bubble, although it is unclear whether it is about to explode (Openai is about to evaluate $ 500 billion). But it seems that there is definitely a transformation.
