This post is turning up at least every other day. The last few times my reply was "AI is 4/30 or 5/30 of the front page, it's not such a big deal", but today it is 9/30. I am wondering what the ratio is for VC and angel dealflow in the valley right now. Hanging out on the "new" page and upvoting quality non-AI articles is an effective method of resistance.

In an ideal world, you'd be able to tag a post (or a comment) with arbitrary tags, with an optional real number to turn it into a vector. This would make it possible to rank your suspected level of AI generatedness of a comment, for example, without having to disturb other things.

The UI for said system, on the other hand, is something I can't even imagine.

There's a special kind of irony to use AI to help out the people who hate AI. It's not hypocrisy or anything negative like that, but I do find it amusing for some reason.

There is an even more special kind of irony to see it failing as the top ranked story now is "Kiro: A new agentic IDE"

Sounds to me like you want a deeper version of this that uses AI instead of keywords to help filter out AI stories.

At a certain point it’s ironic

I think we're well past that stage. Using AI to escape AI. Does that count?

Maybe try lurking into "Past".

Think about it. You can go into whichever pre-AI booming period you desire.

Today I think I'm gonna check out what was hot in May 2009.

"Obama proposes no capital gains tax on qualified small business stock"

Sounds steamy.

I just added "agent" to the default exclusion list.

"Onedrive is slow on Linux but fast with a “Windows” user-agent" "Agents raid home of fired Florida data scientist who built Covid-19 dashboard" "Confessions of an ex-TSA agent" "Terrible real estate agent photographs" etc etc

It only shows 13 stories? And no pagination.
