We need tech news sources which exclude AI

29•botfriendsarent•1h ago

Its now clear that we need to preserve tech press for non AI related things. Techmeme for example is now completely overrun with AI stories.

HN is getting closer to that every day.

If AI kickback deals, phony new model ratings, high RAM prices and your surprise at how you think you coded something with AI and it was AMAZING! even though it doesnt work is all there is count me out.

We need a filter on existing tech news sites or an alternative press.

I fully expected that to be a blank page :) Not too far off.

This topic is just naturally controversial — AI and the internet are so intertwined with it that there’s really no way to avoid the conversation.

And here’s a conversation.

You can also exclude github repos posted here that contain ai attribution. Filters are updated daily to catch exceptions.

I agree.

The worst part about it is like 80% of the conversation is motivated speech.

That's worse than the technology itself.

What do you mean by “motivated speech?”

Do you mean it’s puffery or scammy?

I haven't heard that exact expression before, but basically agenda-driven speech, for commercial or ideological persuasion or whatever. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivated_reasoning
