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

thanks for the your thoughts, and i will also keep working on making it faster.
Here's how mine looks using my method:

Oh no! Anyway...
here is the demo (best viewed on desktop): https://sprinklz.io/demo/hackerNews
as well as the main site: https://sprinklz.io
where you can build and save arbitrary feeds.
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.

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 and invest only in rich kids from other countries.
I personally want something entirely new - new admins.
Also a HN user (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=maurycy)
Same shit
This is a system which pretends to be open, but in reality, one needs to dance to some unwritten rules to some unknown users for unclear time. Meh...
Basically the hurdle is disproportionately absurd to the reward in this particular case.
I think we might be getting close to an era where some people section off areas of land or the internet and ban AI and humanoid robots in that area. I know there are a lot of people who want that.
The problem is that AI is getting better and better at impersonating humans.
Eventually you may see a convergence, where the New Luddite Zoos are just more constrained variations of the normal Human Zoos. Enforced by superhuman AI.
I don't think thats a common position on this site. It'd be more accurate to say that people want balanced content.
I use AI quite a lot in my work, but a ton of AI content is just thinly-veiled marketing and not particularly interesting, IMO.
So basically we'll end up with a version of the amish that are stuck in the early 2000s instead of the 1800s.
