Help me out here. Is AI something prevalent on HN now? I check the site a lot but just browse headlines and visit some sites.

At the bottom of the linked site, it says "79 of 179 submissions survived the filter" so if only ~44% survived I'd say that counts as "prevalent" yeah.

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).

You can do a lot of this stuff w/ the feed builder on hcker.news.

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…

I think you should make it clear, that when you say "without AI" you mean AI-related content, because some people in the comments seem to think that this is about AI-generated content.

It does not have a license so it cannot be used though.

I will throw an MIT license on it rn! edit: https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai?tab=MIT-1-ov-file

I like the idea, but have a couple problems:

* It filters out things that are clearly not AI related (like the one titled ' Mind-altering drugs played key role in rise of Andean civilization ') - or maybe it's just slow to update (that post was 3 hours ago)

* No ability to go to the next page

* Order is often different than on HN, even account for the missing posts. It's mostly the same, but not quite, which always throws me for a loop to see if something else is missing.
