We went from having new JavaScript frameworks every week to having new AI frameworks every week. I'm thinking I should build a HN clone that filters out all posts about AI topics...

Create extension that does that. AI can do that for you in 10 minutes

I've long wished for a 'filter' feature for the hn feed -- namely the old trend of web3 slop -- but with little else than keywords to filter, it would likely be tedious and inaccurate. Ironically, I think with AI/LLMs it could be a little easier to analyze.

  It’s one reason I hoped lobste.rs had taken off. All posts are tagged and you can filter out by tag.

  one technique i've found useful is i don't click on the link if i'm not interested.

    it's very effective. and there's even a "hide" link.

This is how software is being written now. What you propose is like joining a forum called "Small-Scale Manufacturing News" and filtering out all 3D-printing articles.

  We want to filter out the irrelevant software :)

Looking at the most popular agent skills, heavily geared towards react and JS, I think a lot of the most breathless reports of LLM success are weighted towards the same group of fashion-dependant JavaScript developers. The same very online group endlessly hyping messy techs and frontend JS frameworks, oblivious to the Facebook and Google sized mechanics driving said frameworks, are now 100x-ing themselves with things like “specs” and “tests” and dreaming big about type systems and compilers we’ve had for decades. I don’t wanna say this cycle is us watching Node jockies discover systems programming in slow motion through LLMs, but it feels like that sometimes.

  Ironically, using LLM’s for React is an exercise in pain, because they’re all trained on the lowest common denominator. So even Opus is constantly fighting stupid reactivity bugs.

You know the only effective way to do that, right?

  Claude create a clone of Hacker News, no mistakes. Must compile.

    Just give me your bank account, claude API, Mother's maiden name, your zip code, your 3 digit security code, and anything else you think I might need to live as malfist the magnificant. Can I call you that?

  Yep exactly, a Perl script

Or, you could perform a public service by creating a HN clone only for bots and try to convince the bots trolling here to go there.
