That's a really well written article.

I've become so tired of AI and hearing about it that I've started using ublock origin custom filters to nuke it on sites I frequent (including HN).

I don't know if it'll live up to the hype but if it does I'll hear about it other ways til then they are solving a problem I don't have or care about and doing it my destroying things I do care about so I'm just going to ignore them.

How are you using UBO to do that?

The crudest way possible (via custom filters) - when that stops working I'll likely just do a browser plugin.

It makes HN more like what I appreciated about HN in the first place by removing (what to me) is noise and increasing the signal.
