Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you know if there is a way of pointing any of the hackernews phone apps to your site instead of the official one?

I don't personally use those apps so I'm not sure, but if they're open source I'm confident you could easily update them to work with my site. In case it's useful, here's the source code https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai

Huh, perhaps there is a project to be done to consume the HN firehose and serve it AT Proto style from the firehose. HN mobile clients can then pick the feed they want. AI? No AI? Politics? No politics? Frameworks? No frameworks? Choose your own HN post feed adventure. Read replica esq consumption, writes (comments, posts, votes) go to the primary data store (HN).

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

“Keep Calm and Carry On”?

TIL it was rare in the actual wartime (WWII) and only became popular in 2000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keep_Calm_and_Carry_On

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

People were actually complaining specifically about OpenAI/Anthropic glazing and the countless influencer comments and posts here every hour.

And it's getting twisted into "People want HN without AI."

But that was never the case. I mean some surely do. But the blow-up this morning was specific to Anthropic ads to the point there's basically no information on this website that isn't related to Anthropic or OpenAI.

If it was announced some rando kid made a LLM in PHP or something, sure share it! If it was announced someone actually made something cool with AI (lol) then share it!

But Claude 24/7 aint it. It's at least extremely boring!

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

I like AI just hate Claude and Anslopic ads 24/7

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.

nvm sorry, just read the "how this works" comment from OP. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49660301

OPs solution does more than keyword filtering. But its still about filtering out "content about ai" not filtering out "ai written content".
