Hacker News filter removes AI news
A developer has presented hcker.news, a modified version of Hacker News that filters out AI-related stories through three steps: automatic keyword filtering, AI-agent review, and manual evaluation. The tool can also exclude GitHub repositories showing signs of AI-authorship.
WHY IT MATTERS
Many Hacker News readers have been overwhelmed by AI coverage, and the tool addresses demand for curating content based on interests. It illustrates both how AI news dominates tech discourse and how automation (via AI agents) is itself used to manage the volume.
