    Just pretending that AI doesn't exist or doesn't matter is one way to go.

    I think we might be getting close to an era where some people section off areas of land or the internet and ban AI and humanoid robots in that area. I know there are a lot of people who want that.

    The problem is that AI is getting better and better at impersonating humans.

    Eventually you may see a convergence, where the New Luddite Zoos are just more constrained variations of the normal Human Zoos. Enforced by superhuman AI.

    Does this use AI to determine whether content is about AI?

      you could look for the substring "AI" in the title and get 95% of the way there.

        That would miss a lot of posts.

        Here's how mine looks using my method:

        https://imgur.com/a/P1qMIok

        9 out of 30 posts have been removed.

        Steps:

        Install uBlock Origin Lite. Then create a custom filter:

            news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a:has-text(/\b(?:A\.?I\.?|A\.?G\.?I\.?|LLMs?|GPTs?|TPU|NPU|RAG|MoE|RLHF|xAI)\b|Anthropic|agent|super-?intelligence|Blackwell|Cerebras|ChatGPT|Claude|Cohere|Command\s*R|Context\s*window|Copilot|Cursor|DALL-E|deep\s*learning|DeepSeek|ElevenLabs|Fine-tun(?:e|ing)|Flux|Gemini|GenAI|Generative|Gemma|Grok|Groq|H100|Hallucination|harness(?:es)?|Hugging\s*Face|LangChain|Llama|LlamaIndex|Midjourney|Mistral|Ollama|OpenAI|OpenRouter|Perplexity|prompt|Qwen|Runway\s*(?:AI|ML)|Gen-[1-4](?:\.5)?|Sora|Synthetic\s*data|token|vibecod|vLLM|Whisper/i)):xpath(. | following-sibling::tr[1])
        Any improvements to above filter are welcome.

    If you prefer something closer to the original layout: https://www.unslop.news/

    I previously worked on this, but made substanital improvements to the underlying implementation, and now the filters work much better.

    This is also a general purpose tool that you can modify/customize

    I initially read that as "Hacker News will reduce priority for AI driven content" and was wondering why it was announced on a random website instead of this one.

    Slow but necessary

    My interest in HN has decreased since it feels every other news is about AI

    However I'll use the other links provided here, as it takes 10s to display

      something that makes this website different from all the others, is it lets you filter by _any_ combination of topics, and allows you to edit them live and in real time.

      see (view on desktop)

      I like AI and AI news, but can't stand the endless Anslopic Claude ads.

      All this site ever talks about is Claude. It's so annoying. We'd use it if it was good (it's not).

    This makes Hacker News usable again. Thank you.

      Somewhat absurd imo seeing two of these types of sites being the top posts. But as they say the market speaks. What would be more fascinating imo is to track the average article shift from removal over time.

    Can you just do reduced priority for Anthropic?

    When people complain about the incessant Claude glazing in posts and comments totally dominating the content of the site - it always gets twisted into “people don’t like AI”

    But really we are just sick of the fucking Claude ads. It’s non-stop. Should be illegal how much those fuckers advertise.

    does it filter on every load?

    Current thread:

    Ask HN: Can we please limit the AI news flood?

    When people ask for alternatives, I think they mean a different admin/investor behind the scenes too.

    Reddit and HN share the same investors.

    Unslop.news is still HN content and users.

    Lobsters is like invite-only HN - maybe even more insufferable than this place in that regard.

    People want something new, not the same corrupt people like Garry Tan and PG all the time.

    I'm sick of YC and HN - they are barely technical and invest only in rich kids from other countries.

    I personally want something entirely new - new admins.
