Yeah, it's become such a boring AI marketing outlet.
Was thinking the same thing. I love Hacker News, but perhaps an AI filter on the site would be really useful.
I've been thinking for a while to create an AI tool to classify articles (not just on HN), and filter the ones I'm not in the mood for.
I think one was posted a while ago.
Ironically you would miss the articles proclaiming your new invention is the next big thing! /sarcasm
Lobste.rd for general tech, specific subreddits or Discord communities for narrower topics. HN is probably not coming back from this one the AI industry is too concentrated in the same demographic that posts there.
Everything on HN these days get downvoted to Oblivion. And people are heavily pushing ai and cloud products, the builder/hacker mindset is gone imho.
boring AI marketing outlet.
lobster?
I agree, Lobsters is probably the closest alternative
You're referring to https://lobste.rs/ ?
Correct
Had a browse and it is definitely reminiscent of HN's early days! Thanks for the recommendation :)
