There is literally an input box to put terms you want to exclude...
The prompt asks for "filters out specific search terms", not "intelligently filter out any AI-related keywords." So yes, a good example of the power of vibe coding: the LLM built a tool according to the prompt.
Add the buzzword when you see a story you don't like. Or settle with it filtering 90% of the AI content and just don't click on whatever remains, I doubt you expect the top story to be interesting to you 100% of the time.
Our brain decodes info based on context and extrapolation
This submission we're commenting on could be about filtering out any data, not just AI stuff. Politics, crypto, AI etc. Or more minute like "Trump" "fracking" "bitcoin" etc.
In any of these scenarios, with a tool designed to filter out content based on limited context, when would you ever be perfectly satisfied?
would you like AI to help you build the perfect context-filter model?
Isn't it enough to bury yourself under the rock? - you want the fact of your having done so concealed from you also? But what about the fact of wanting that?
...Yes? This is how this tool is coded. Machines do what one codes them to do, not what one wants them to do. If you're interested in making a more intelligent tool you can do it. This tool does exactly what @simonw says it does.
A tool was offered that can accomplish what you want, with a very small amount of added effort on your part.
No, you do not have to "stay up to date on AI stories"—if you see one, add the keyword to the list and move on. There are not as many buzzwords as you seem to be implying, anyways.
If you are dissatisfied, you are welcome to build your own intelligent version (but I am not sure this will be straightforward without the use of AI).
Isn’t knocking out CUDA going to take out a significant chunk of GPGPU stuff with it? I can see wanting to avoid AI stuff, for sure, but I can’t imagine not wanting to hear anything about the high-bandwidth half of your computer…

So if I want a front page free of LLM "agents" but also want to view stories about secret agents it will do that, right?

The prompt was to exclude llm and ai by default though
the prompt was "default to "llm, ai"", which is exactly what it did. Nothing in the prompt about defaulting to other related terms

And that title didn't contain either of those words...what is the complaint again?

So I have to stay up to date on AI stories just to know what buzzwords I should filter so I don't see AI stories?
Sounds to me like you want a deeper version of this that uses AI instead of keywords to help filter out AI stories.

That's how any filtering service works
sounds like you need an AI to sort out and predict what you won't want to see ;)

How about a version with LLM integration that detects "AI" related stories in a more clever way? /s

If you're unable to discern that the word serves a purpose(emphasis) in that sentence, I literally don't know what to say to you.

It's bad enough to expect other people to change the way they communicate to make you feel better.
It's another thing entirely when the way they're communicating is accurate and correct.
But there literally is an input box.
I like this because things can stay permanently filtered. Just not across devices. But that wasn't one of the original requirements.
Also a great example of how software can be perfectly to spec and also completely broken.
llm, ai, cuda, agent, gpt.
Wish it returned more unfiltered items tho.

Sure, if that suits you it makes sense. Just happened to take out one piece I felt was ai-related at the time. I suppose mlx would have worked better.
