Yes please, take all the bleeding edge tech stories out of the aggregator I go to for bleeding edge tech stories.

The majority of links about "AI" are not really interesting. "New model released, people who want to avoid thinking can now avoid 7% more thinking according to NoThink benchmark". The top comment: "look at the SVG of a pelican they overfit the model on this time".

Earlier quoted context omitted.

to certain people, it's all one-in-the-same. the real motivations behind this are a kind of existential human narcissism, a kind of denial-based coping mechanism grounded in a world-view that this industrial-revolution-scale change on society is somehow a passing phase.

touch grass

i suppose the correct retort would be to advise you to get your head out of it.

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

I was unaware that technological progress stopped for everything but LLMs. All other types of technology have achieved their final forms. Wow.

Seriously though, every AI story feels the same lately. There's:

1. company wants or gets more compute 2. IPO 3. AI slop is bad 4. AI Company Executive says something batshit (often because IPO)

It's gotten pretty boring to read more than the headline for most of these. It doesn't feel bleeding edge so much as repetitive.

This is a filter for articles about AI, not articles written by AI. I'd actually use the latter. As for the "no AI here" badge, people will soon just put it up themselves. Like llms.txt: you add it, and nobody checks.

There you go :) https://hnslop.nilsherzig.com/
