This is a filter for articles about AI, not articles written by AI. I'd actually use the latter.
As for the "no AI here" badge, people will soon just put it up themselves. Like llms.txt: you add it, and nobody checks.
There you go :) <a href="https://hnslop.nilsherzig.com/" rel="nofollow">https://hnslop.nilsherzig.com/</a><p>as an extension so you can continue to comment and use hn as usual
Submissions of articles written <i>by</i> AI should be flagged on the upstream HN, as should be comments written by AI.
to certain people, it's all one-in-the-same. the real motivations behind this are a kind of existential human narcissism, a kind of denial-based coping mechanism grounded in a world-view that this industrial-revolution-scale change on society is somehow a passing phase.
Without AI, using AI to accomplish it's goal. And built using AI.<p>My friends we are in the future.
It has filtered itself out!<p>"Show HN: Hacker News, Without AI" is front page on news.ycombinator.com, absent on unslop.news.
I love this so much because I hide every "Look at me, I use LLMs and it makes my toast" stories.
I actually like the look of this, I especially like being able to set a serif font instead of whatever default is on <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com">https://news.ycombinator.com</a>.
Yes please, take all the bleeding edge tech stories out of the aggregator I go to for bleeding edge tech stories.
The majority of links about "AI" are not really interesting. "New model released, people who want to avoid thinking can now avoid 7% more thinking according to NoThink benchmark". The top comment: "look at the SVG of a pelican they overfit the model on this time".
While I get what you are saying, from my perspective, there is no longer the same breadth of content on HN, with LLM related content taking up a significant portion of the top posts. Today is actually a pretty good day, with I think 7/30 being LLM related.<p>I just don't like having to dig through multiple pages of LLM posts to find other types of tech news. Even if I do read a few here or there, I can't filter them out to look for other stuff. There is other tech out there beyond AI.
Yes, bleeding edge tech story = tech story primarily focused on AI
I was unaware that technological progress stopped for everything but LLMs. All other types of technology have achieved their final forms. Wow.<p>Seriously though, every AI story feels the same lately. There's:<p>1. company wants or gets more compute
2. IPO
3. AI slop is bad
4. AI company executive says something batshit (often because IPO)<p>It's gotten pretty boring to read more than the headline for most of these.

Does "without AI" mean without posts <i>about</i> AI, or without posts <i>written by</i> AI?<p>I think this is the former, but I want the latter.
I'm the creator, and it is the former. I will consider spending some money on one of the available "AI detector" APIs and making a similar site for the latter. My main problem with them, though, is that I don't think they work very well and even if they work now, I imagine they'd be perpetually behind the newest models
links at the top e.g. show redirect to the regular site, i presume they are supposed to go to a filtered version
Kind of funny that currently the number 1 article is a Show HN for an AI vibe coded slop terminal program.
It is espically god for AI researchers like me, is there any other resource, if you knowe would love to explore it
It would be funny if this was vibe coded.
It is<p>> Ironically, this project was built with AI coding and uses AI to filter out articles about AI. Go figure.<p><a href="https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai</a>
"Made with &lt;3 by ..." Yea it is
hehe
Currently there is an article about feeling sad w.r.t. AI on the front page. <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49661506">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49661506</a> That one is filtered out too. Surely nobody is going to claim that it is slop?
I mean, that post /is/ entirely about AI.<p>The "I love AI" posts are just as bad as the "I hate AI" posts, and the same "this is my opinion on AI" posts are as bad as the onslaught of poorly-AI-vibed demo posts. Makes sense to filter them all out IMO.
This is the first attempt I've seen that seems to be working. I like that it's just a acting as a filter and the comment section is linked to the hackernews source. It's really satisfying to not see any Ai bs. I do like how hackernews is limited to 30 front page posts.
On the front page:<p><pre><code> Show HN: Hacker News, Without AI (unslop.news)
Hacker News with reduced priority for AI driven content (sprinklz.io)
Show HN: Hacker News, without AI (hcker.news)
</code></pre>
Three anti AI HN things on the front page at the same time. Two with the same title. This is spam.
Or maybe it reflects a genuine desire from some subset of regular HN readers? Is it spam when three different articles about the latest Anthropic model make the front page? Or the latest Apple product release?
But have you heard of <a href="https://unslop.news" rel="nofollow">https://unslop.news</a>? If you look at HN through that, the above AI-related spam disappears.
I think it's useful, and maybe an indication of something positive.
unslop.news IS slop btw: <a href="https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai</a>
