Show HN: Hacker News with AI stories filtered out

35 points - today at 5:39 PM


Hi folks,

I've noticed that a lot of people here seem exhausted by the amount of AI news on the front page. I shared hcker.news here a year ago and it has since gained a ton of filtering features, including a dedicated AI filter, so I figured I should tell more people about it.

The filter works in three passes:

  1. Known AI-related keywords and domains are filtered automatically.
  2. An agent reviews the remaining articles and removes those it identifies as AI-related.
  3. I make the call on uncertain cases.
You can also exclude GitHub repos posted to HN that show signs of AI authorship. The filter checks:

  - Commit messages for agent attribution
  - Contributors for known coding agents
  - Repository files for agent instructions and configs

No filter will be perfect, but this is as good as it gets. lmk what you think. Cheers.

I don't normally read the front page, more /newest

Any chance of implementing that?

Your site works with my Firefox auto-pager, which is really nice for archiving posts for later search.

I also built a browser extension to do this client-side. It just auto-clicks the Hide links for any story with an AI-related term. Source & Firefox add-on link here: https://github.com/ColdPie1/enough-ai-on-hn
