A lot of banning for one, along with getting rid of most politics and off topic stuff.

Issue is we are seeing a ton of AI stuff getting posted so it's a losing battle.

I used to love HN. Lots of interesting stuff, great articles, novel projects. Now it feels like the frontpage is always around 70% LLM-related stuff. And not breakthrough research or projects, just "new Claude version X" and shit like that. Eternal September I guess?

Try this: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/462650-hacker-news-filter - works pretty well.

And once again, mandatory tags feature which you could either use to hide content or "subscribe" to would help here.

It's not, hence the "don't post AI slop as your comment" posting a few days back that had 1000+ comments.

Currently an unsolved problem - just stealthier on some platforms than others. Trigger the right topic on HN and the bots come out in-force together with humans sloppily copy/pasting LLM content.

Did you not see this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47282777

Look at how many updoots it has. Look at how many vacuous, enthusiastic replies it got. That post is especially egregious, but you see stuff like that on a lesser scale every day here, now. My favorite bit is when they go out of their way to shill specific plans/pricing, e.g.:

> You really NEED the $200 Claude MAX plan.
