Slow but necessary My interest in HN has decreased since it feels every other news is about AI However I'll use the other links provided here, as it takes 10s to display

I like AI and AI news, but can't stand the endless Anslopic Claude ads.

All this site ever talks about is Claude. It's so annoying. We'd use it if it was good (it's not).

Does this use AI to determine whether content is about AI?

you could look for the substring "AI" in the title and get 95% of the way there.

That would miss a lot of posts.

Here's how mine looks using my method:

When people ask for alternatives, I think they mean a different admin/investor behind the scenes too. Reddit and HN share the same investors. Unslop.news is still HN content and users. Lobsters is like invite-only HN - maybe even more insufferable than this place in that regard. People want something new, not the same corrupt people like Garry Tan and PG all the time. I'm sick of YC and HN - they are barely technical…

Hard disagree with lobste.rs being worse than HN

Maybe check out Mastodon, Matrix, (new) Freenet, etc.

Can you just do reduced priority for Anthropic?

When people complain about the incessant Claude glazing in posts and comments totally dominating the content of the site - it always gets twisted into “people don’t like AI”

But really we are just sick of the fucking Claude ads. It’s non-stop. Should be illegal how much those fuckers advertise.
