- Hacker News
- At this rate we would have at least new one vibe coded site like this per week trying to filter AI posts. People truly have tokens to burn
- This one actually works: https://elijahpotter.dev/hnsansai
- I would love to have hn more curated.
The AI spam is part of the issue, but not only. Maybe it's rose tinted glasses, but it feel like HN posts and comments quality have dropped significantly compared to ~5 to 10 years ago.
It used to have a lot more really technical subjects, with comments from experts on the topic.
Now days it seems to be a lot more of "hot takes with little nuance from people who have read at most half a Wikipedia page on the topic". And the content itself, being more generalist and less specialized, is no longer unique to HN.
Quality posts and comments do still occur, but they fill more and more needle in an haystack.

- First post shown right now is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49659245 which is essentially an ad for an AI company. So I guess this will need further fine tuning.by account42
- Here is an approach to filtering LLM written content: https://hnslop.nilsherzig.com/
Instead of filtering keywords this ranks the content using Pangram. But it's also pretty effective at filtering content about AI. Turns out that a lot of LLM tooling projects have LLM written project descriptions/blog posts.
It's amazing to see how many of the "AI hurts my brain" posts are apparently written by an LLM.
