If you prefer something closer to the original layout: https://www.unslop.news/

Thank you for sharing my site :)

Thank you for basically only filtering and not changing the style. :)

Just a few high level points about how this works. It works in multiple stages: 1. I apply a domain and keyword filter to the feed 2. The content of the remaining articles are run twice daily through a Modern Bert-based classifier fine-tuned to detect AI-related content (~8000 training examples)[0]. It also filters out Github repos that contain AI authorship. My backend scans: - Commit messages for agent attribution…

Funny how it uses AI

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.

Maybe use AI to filter the posts? :)

This feels like trying to do "Hacker News, without 'the Internet.'"

There is also the hide button under every post, which I’ve started using generously. It only takes a few seconds to clean up the front page to your taste

For Hacker News without AI, can I suggest the domain of news.ycombntor.com ?

I regret that I had but one upvote to give to this comment. Well played!

I'm mixed on that. Definitely topics I hide when I think people can't discuss them like adults, but sometimes even bad stories have some great discussions in them.

This is like; during a war, when you just want to read the news without anything about the war :D
