Great example of the power of vibe coding. The first item is literally "Kiro: A new agentic IDE".
- raincole 1y agoThere is literally an input box to put terms you want to exclude... The prompt asks for "filters out specific search terms", not "intelligently filter out any AI-related keywords." So yes, a good example of the power of vibe coding: the LLM built a tool according to the prompt.
- FroshKiller 1y agoSo I have to stay up to date on AI stories just to know what buzzwords I should filter so I don't see AI stories?
- raincole 1y ago...Yes? This is how this tool is coded. Machines do what one codes them to do, not what one wants them to do. If you're interested in making a more intelligent tool you can do it. This tool does exactly what @simonw says it does.
- ChromaticPanic 1y agoThat's how any filtering service works
- simonw 1y agoSounds to me like you want a deeper version of this that uses AI instead of keywords to help filter out AI stories.
- shepherdjerred 1y agoAt a certain point it’s ironic
- tolerance 1y agoI think we're well past that stage. Using AI to escape AI. Does that count?
- voisin 1y agoI think there’s another step here: Using AI to build tools that use AI to escape AI. Eventually: using AI to build tools that use AI to escape AI using tools that use AI.
- tolerance 1y ago> using AI to build tools that use AI to escape AI using tools that use AI Few illustrations are so absurd yet feasible enough to depict as horrendous a reality as this.
- jwillp 1y agoClearly the US needs a constitutional amendment to preserve the right to keep and bear AI tools. Then we can arm the victims of AI tools with their own AI tools, for self-defense. If we're lucky, AI will send its AI thoughts and AI prayers in carefully calculated quantities.
- tolerance 1y agoBetter yet, such expressions would be categorized as tokens of condolence at no expense to the public. Subsidized by the arms manufacturers.

- aleksituk 1y agoLol, yup. See azath92 comment - https://www.hackernews.coffee/ https://www.hackernews.coffee/
- arcfour 1y agoA tool was offered that can accomplish what you want, with a very small amount of added effort on your part. No, you do not have to "stay up to date on AI stories"—if you see one, add the keyword to the list and move on. There are not as many buzzwords as you seem to be implying, anyways. If you are dissatisfied, you are welcome to build your own intelligent version (but I am not sure this will be straightforward without the use of AI).
- Reubachi 1y agoOur brain decodes info based on context and extrapolation This submission we're commenting on could be about filtering out any data, not just AI stuff. Politics, crypto, AI etc. Or more minute like "Trump" "fracking" "bitcoin" etc. In any of these scenarios, with a tool designed to filter out content based on limited context, when would you ever be perfectly satisfied? would you like AI to help you build the perfect context-filter model?
- bee_rider 1y agoAnd certainly in our anti-politics filter we’d want to include the filtering of stories that promote the extreme political position that tech is somehow detached from politics! (Especially Silicon Valley startup tech that owes so much to the local politics and economy of California). Which is to say, filtering politics out is absurd, one person’s extreme politics is another’s default view of the universe.
- lazide 1y agoIn a similar vein, I’ve had people assert (in all seriousness), their English had no discernible accent because they were American. It’s a similar kind of mindset.
- furyofantares 1y agoAdd the buzzword when you see a story you don't like. Or settle with it filtering 90% of the AI content and just don't click on whatever remains, I doubt you expect the top story to be interesting to you 100% of the time.
- sergiotapia 1y agosounds like you need an AI to sort out and predict what you won't want to see ;)
- throwanem 1y agoIsn't it enough to bury yourself under the rock? - you want the fact of your having done so concealed from you also? But what about the fact of wanting that?
- barbazoo 1y agoHow about a version with LLM integration that detects "AI" related stories in a more clever way? /s
- throwaway290 1y agoThe prompt was to exclude llm and ai by default though
- marcellus23 1y agothe prompt was "default to "llm, ai"", which is exactly what it did. Nothing in the prompt about defaulting to other related terms
- throwaway290 1y agoit's irony
- Tostino 1y agoAnd that title didn't contain either of those words...what is the complaint again?
- nice_byte 1y agobecause the point is literally to filter based on vibes not precise keywords
- Tostino 1y agoThat is not what the prompt I saw above asked for. It took him a few min. Write your own with a semantic based filter instead of a keyword based filter if that's what you want.
- ackfoobar 1y agoif all you want is word filtering in the title, you can simply write an adblock rule.
- dawnerd 1y agoBut how are you supposed to hype AI by using old tech like that?
- johnb231 1y ago[flagged]
- iLoveOncall 1y agoBut there literally is an input box.
- Dilettante_ 1y agoIf you're unable to discern that the word serves a purpose(emphasis) in that sentence, I literally don't know what to say to you.
- johnb231 1y agoOf course I can discern that. I think it sounds stupid and childish, and makes someone appear less intelligent. Overused and misused word. But this is now derailing the thread.
- hluska 1y agoI’m with you here - it’s a completely superfluous word that the young have adopted as some form of belonging ritual. It has no purpose, adds no emphasis and is just poor English masquerading as a statement.
- hluska 1y agoSuperfluous words serve no purpose, though your use of one here emphasizes your lack of maturity. If that’s your goal, good writing.
- lazide 1y agoIt used to be that literally had a meaningful definition - quite literally. Now it doesn’t (see #2) [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally] Not everyone has caught up.
- pc86 1y agoIt's bad enough to expect other people to change the way they communicate to make you feel better. It's another thing entirely when the way they're communicating is accurate and correct.
- MisterTea 1y ago> The prompt asks for "filters out specific search terms" So if I want a front page free of LLM "agents" but also want to view stories about secret agents it will do that, right?

- firesteelrain 1y agoI like this because things can stay permanently filtered. Just not across devices. But that wasn't one of the original requirements.
- aorloff 1y agoAlso a great example of how software can be perfectly to spec and also completely broken.
- savolai 1y agollm, ai, cuda, agent, gpt. Wish it returned more unfiltered items tho.
- bee_rider 1y agoIsn’t knocking out CUDA going to take out a significant chunk of GPGPU stuff with it? I can see wanting to avoid AI stuff, for sure, but I can’t imagine not wanting to hear anything about the high-bandwidth half of your computer…
- savolai 1y agoSure, if that suits you it makes sense. Just happened to take out one piece I felt was ai-related at the time. I suppose mlx would have worked better.
