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)

Yeah unslop.news actually filters these out

I will throw an MIT license on it rn! edit: https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai?tab=MIT-1-ov-file

lol it works though doesn't it?

I am the dev, it was in fact intentional

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

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

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

as it should lol

touch grass

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

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

I did this on purpose, I do not think AI would leave that in lol

hehe

Hard disagree with lobste.rs being worse than HN

I don't personally use those apps so I'm not sure, but if they're open source I'm confident you could easily update them to work with my site. In case it's useful, here's the source code https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai

Thank you for sharing my site :)

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

Thanks for the recommendation, I had actually never heard of this but it looks promising

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.

Thank you for plugging my site :)

Very glad they got their exit. Provided huge value for years

Love this, you need some more east coast johns outside of NYC though :(

Thank you for recommending this to new people! I'm the developer :)

I think it would be interesting to try this with another language though. Picking something like Russian or something obscure like Turkish could be a more undeserved segment

In my experience, apps for learning japanese is a hugely saturated niche because the venn diagram of people learning japanese and people who like building software is a circle

Glad you like it!

I found it bc I started getting new traffic to the site from HN and turns out someone else was actually plugging it in another comment here

I run https://www.unslop.news/ which uses an LLM (ironically) to filter out content discussing AI. There's text at the bottom to indicate what fraction of the first 3 pages gets filtered out, and it's pretty much always at 50% or more.
