What's especially frustrating is that the posts about AI are also disproportionately written by AI.

Either cynical click-sploitation or extreme hypocrisy.

For me the biggest loss was the explore tabs on github, particularly the trending repositories. You used to be able to go there and find a trendy project or two.

Nowadays, either it is something with an outstanding presentation like copyparty, or it's all just AI and AI serving schlock.

It doesn't have to be that way. Filter it out! https://hcker.news/?ai=exclude
