Lived through enough cycles to know tech can change at whatever speed it feels like, but people and groups/organizations have Limits to how fast they can change. I play around with it at work only to check to see where it can be used. But that doesnt require following AI news all the time. So no real overload.
I stopped trying to keep up with every release and benchmark. That was the turning point for me.
Now I pick one tool, learn it properly, and ignore everything else until my current setup actually fails me. Most "AI news" is just leaderboard shuffling that doesn't change how I work day to day.
The real overload isn't the technology. It's the marketing cycle around it. Every week someone announces the new best model, and if you're on Twitter it feels like you're falling behind by not switching. You're not.
Practical filter: if a new release doesn't solve a problem I currently have, I skip it entirely.

If AI was doing its job there would be no overload.
