Just what I thought.

That's the cherry on the cake - indicating genuine effort and attention to detail put into something, yet not even checking the credit at the bottom.

Can someone make a site to filter HN posts about apps that remove AI in HN?

So what. The unabomber used a phone sometimes

Submissions of articles written by AI should be flagged on the upstream HN, as should be comments written by AI.

There you go :) https://hnslop.nilsherzig.com/

as an extension so you can continue to comment and use hn as usual

to certain people, it's all one-in-the-same. the real motivations behind this are a kind of existential human narcissism, a kind of denial-based coping mechanism grounded in a world-view that this industrial-revolution-scale change on society is somehow a passing phase.

as it should lol

The majority of links about "AI" are not really interesting. "New model released, people who want to avoid thinking can now avoid 7% more thinking according to NoThink benchmark". The top comment: "look at the SVG of a pelican they overfit the model on this time".

While I get what you are saying, from my perspective, there is no longer the same breadth of content on HN, with LLM related content taking up a significant portion of the top posts. Today is actually a pretty good day, with I think 7/30 being LLM related.

I just don't like having to dig through multiple pages of LLM posts to find other types of tech news. Even if I do read a few here or there, I can't filter them out to look for other stuff. There is other tech out there beyond AI.

“Tech stories” = Nth OpenAI/Anthropic press release or LLM-generated thought piece. Such enrichment, much learning.

Yes, bleeding edge tech story = tech story primarily focused on AI

Feel free to fork this then! https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai It uses an LLM to categorize posts as ai or not, so you can just use a different prompt to filter out whatever you don't want (e.g "Respond with only true or false. true if the following post content is primarily political and false otherwise)

It is

> Ironically, this project was built with AI coding and uses AI to filter out articles about AI. Go figure.

"Made with <3 by ..." Yea it is

hehe

Adding this as an issue, will fix tonight! Edit: I'm realizing to get the upvotes to work I actually need an auth token for the user's HN account so it will have to be a redirect to the HN thread rather than a functional upvote button, but I am going to keep it to stick with the HN design

That's intentional. It's a design choice. Get with the programme.

I'm the creator, and it is the former. I will consider spending some money on one of the available "AI detector" APIs and making a similar site for the latter. My main problem with them, though, is that I don't think they work very well and even if they work now, I imagine they'd be perpetually behind the newest models

Thanks! https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai

Yes, it's called The Internet last time I checked.

Someone could make a site that just computes the difference between hacker news and unslop news.

Ah I have been using safari for testing. Will add this as an issue and fix tonight!

You mean AIDS?

I mean, that post /is/ entirely about AI.

The "I love AI" posts are just as bad as the "I hate AI" posts, and the same "this is my opinion on AI" posts are as bad as the onslaught of poorly-AI-vibed demo posts. Makes sense to filter them all out IMO.

Or maybe it reflects a genuine desire from some subset of regular HN readers? Is it spam when three different articles about the latest Anthropic model make the front page? Or the latest Apple product release?

But have you heard of https://unslop.news? If you look at HN through that, the above AI-related spam disappears.

I think it's useful, and maybe an indication of something positive.

Huh... it's not even that hard of a problem to solve right? Maybe I'm insane, but I feel like this is easier to crank out in rails or something than sloppin' it. It's a singular page, with some filtering on one model + a job to add entries on a regular basis with an API call out to openanthrogemingptai.

We do get the the pinnicle of software quality though: parsing HTML with regex. https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai/blob/007e7b4a6df6...
