#392Weird that people are floating the idea of kicking out of a tech forum the most important tech development of the last 10 years. Not sure what that means about the community, but must mean something.

"I built..." and "o3 knocked it out in a couple minutes...", not ironically, talking about a tool to keep us from having to be inundated with AI/LLM stuff.

I should add: Many years ago I used to read a news site that was modeled after slashdot. One day the person running it decided to switch it to be community-moderated. Every day it was the same discussion over again, from someone who didn't bother to do a Google search or look at what was posted the day prior.

To begin with, this would be a non issue if HN just introduced something like user provided tags and users can vote for/against (to circumvent abuse) Then the people wanting to filter "x" could just do it via simple grease monkey scripts or if HN natively supported it.
