Not entirely true, but sadly very close.
Way too many posts of getting Doom running on toasters and pregnancy tests make the front page, but not much else.
For example, there's a game called System Shock (a remake of a seminal game) that came out yesterday after being 7 years in development, where you play as a hacker against an out of control AI.
I'm a fan, so obviously I'm biased, but I find it quite intriguing there is not one single mention of this anywhere on a site that calls itself Hacker News and is obsessed with AI (particularly the GPT kind).
Well, I'm slightly disappointed, but I guess I should just "expect the unexpected".
