| There's also https://unslop.news, which removes just the posts about AI, rather than all posts that mention it at all |

| OK, this is cool, actually! Thanks! It cannot be a long-term solution, though. Most people don't use them and if HN continues to be AI-foremost, many will simply stop coming here to post other interesting, non-AI stuff. A vicious circle. |

| ▲ | sammy0910 a day ago | parent | next [-] | | theres also https://sprinklz.io/public/pdwt4dve5uai which additionally lets you add and modify custom filters | |
| ▲ | teekert 20 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I am inclusive in that sense and enjoy both AI and non-AI content, and will post both. | |
| ▲ | otherayden a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I'm curious where people would go to as an alternative. I like looking at lobste.rs for non-AI stuff, but to post there you need to be invited by an existing member so it's not a perfect alternative. | | |
| ▲ | krapp a day ago | parent | next [-] | | The fediverse. Mastodon or Lemmy are viable alternatives if you curate well enough. | | |
| ▲ | nickthegreek a day ago | parent [-] | | So nothing to worry about then. | | |
| ▲ | krapp a day ago | parent [-] | | Unless you're one of those people who only ever use HN and make it a part of your identity, sure. You can just leave for greener pastures. Or learn to care less. |

| ▲ | flexagoon a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | tildes.net is also great, though it's not just for tech stuff | | |
| ▲ | otherayden a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Thanks for the recommendation, I had actually never heard of this but it looks promising | |
| ▲ | latexr a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Thank you for that recommendation. I find the website hard to read¹, but the submissions themselves are as a whole much more interesting² than any HN homepage in the past year. ¹ But I can do something about that, as opposed to the submissions as a whole. ² Even if one of them is about someone’s son pooping in the toilet. |

| ▲ | krapp a day ago | parent [-] | | Second on the list of things HN needs a solution to is fucking troll green accounts because it's getting ridiculous. |

| ▲ | mdp2021 a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | > if HN continues The NN revolution which started 15 years ago cannot be understated - if anything, some areas are not progressing as fast as they should and some of us are nervously waiting. Have you actually multiplied the weight of submissions in your mental model by how consequential each one is? Because we are still submitting even more idle "intellectual curiosities" - but these are in no way "times of static peace and ordinary administration". | | |

| "92 of 179 articles survived the filter". So about half of the posts are about AI now, more than I expected. |
| |
| ▲ | otherayden a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I made the website, and I wish I had tracked the stats from day one. I've seen it hit closer 75% on some days, though | |
| ▲ | slumberlust 14 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Potentially more. Example, the data center articles don't match the AI filter, but they are certainly AI driven. |

| "Ironically, this project was built with AI coding and uses AI to filter out articles about AI. Go figure." |
| |
| ▲ | wolvoleo a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Well it is the best way to do a 'fuzzy' filter like that. Rather than trying frantically to chase keywords. I don't think anyone considers AI to be something useless. It sure has its uses, I use it a lot to help with research. But it is sometimes shoehorned into things it doesn't belong, or its capabilities overblown for marketing. I think that's what people object to. | | |
| ▲ | kentm a day ago | parent | next [-] | | This is where I’m at. I find AI to be useful but there’s a tendency for it to suck the oxygen out of the room. Other things still matter. Edit: I'll also note that while its nice to see real novel AI news I find a lot of it is extremely marginal value. I mentally associate most discussion with debating what color of marker to use when marking the edge of your CDs to improve the sound. | |
| ▲ | noir_lord a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | That and the sheer volume drowns out everything else. The S/N ratio entirely depends on whether you care about AI and I don't not really. | | |
| ▲ | dylan604 a day ago | parent [-] | | Man, that last sentence is ambiguous as hell. I'm not sure if you do or do not care. | | |
| ▲ | noir_lord a day ago | parent [-] | | Yeah I didn't word that well at all, at least you know it wasn't an LLM. I meant I don't really care, I keep half an eye on what they are up to (have to live in the same world as them) but I'm not really interested in it at all beyond playing with some local models, the constant onslaught of it has just become tiresome, then I got to YT to watch my usual history content which mentions something I didn't know about so I do a search to see if there is a video on that and that is wall to wall AI slop and that annoys me so I go to do something else, do a search and the results are slop if the AI doesn't try and answer it for me first. It just feels like if you want to do anything on-line you get force fed slop whether you want it or not and it's damn hard to filter it, can't even block channels on YT without an extension. |

| ▲ | econ a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | In the old days we had this thing called a redaction. It was like a dungeon master vs playing the same hardcoded level again and again. Had one suggested automating it back then even the greatest optimist wouldn't see how you replace [say] Stephen King with a calculator but here we are - true believers. | |

| ▲ | esjeon a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | An AI slop to filter out AI slops -- the pinnacle of AI. Sadly this would not end just as a joke. We'll be doing this forever from now on. | | |
| ▲ | noir_lord a day ago | parent [-] | | Humans becoming the adversarial network to the AI is indeed a Black Mirror episode worthy outcome. |
