The tool also filters GitHub repositories for signs of AI authorship. The announcement cites multiple HN threads requesting such a filter.", "body_md": "Hi folks,\n\nI've noticed that a lot of people here seem exhausted by the amount of AI news on the front page. I shared hcker.news here a year ago and it has since gained a ton of filtering features, including a dedicated AI filter, so I figured I should tell more people about it.\n\nThe filter works in three passes:\n\n1. Known AI-related keywords and domains are filtered automatically. 2. An agent reviews the remaining articles and removes those it identifies as AI-related. 3. I make the call on uncertain cases.\n\nYou can also exclude GitHub repos posted to HN that show signs of AI authorship. The filter checks:\n\n- Commit messages for agent attribution - Contributors for known coding agents - Repository files for agent instructions and configs\n\nPeople here have been asking for some version of this for a while:\n\n- Ask HN: Has anyone built \"HN front page, with all AI stories filtrered out\"?\n\n- [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48940479](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48940479)\n\n- We need tech news sources which exclude AI - [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48713041](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48713041)\n\n- Ask HN: Another \"Hacker News\" with less AI and more human-focused hacking news? - [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48834961](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48834961)\n\n- And many more: 47672065, 48039702, 48202486, 48935613, 49037377, 48417916, 47522856, 47857461\n\nNo filter will be perfect, but this is as good as it gets. lmk what you think. Cheers.\n\nMore links:\nOriginal Show HN: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44075353](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44075353)\n\nIf you *only* want AI stories: [https://hcker.news/?view=frontpage&ai=include](https://hcker.news/?view=frontpage&ai=include)\n\nRSS: [https://hcker.news/feeds/atom?period=day&ai=exclude](https://hcker.news/feeds/atom?period=day&ai=exclude)\n\nA github-only non-AI feed: [https://hcker.news/?ai=exclude&include_domains=github.com](https://hcker.news/?ai=exclude&include_domains=github.com)\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49159018](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49159018)\n\nPoints: 2\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-hacker-news-without-the-ai-stories", "canonical_source": "https://hcker.news/?view=frontpage&ai=exclude", "published_at": "2026-08-03 17:39:56+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-03 17:52:37.970938+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools"], "entities": ["Hacker News", "hcker.news", "GitHub"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-hacker-news-without-the-ai-stories", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-hacker-news-without-the-ai-stories.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-hacker-news-without-the-ai-stories.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-hacker-news-without-the-ai-stories.jsonld"}}
