I have also been wanting this. Thinking about building something. Of course it takes more than code, it needs a community, and I don't know how to bootstrap that. But it seems to me there ought to be a lot of people dissatisfied with the current discourse on sites like HN. I certainly am. (and AI is far from the only topic where discussion is lacking.)

I came to HN from Slashdot, and it's been a good run. But, as they say, all good things...

I think it's doable with a heavy dose of LLM moderation. If you do something like this, I'd be happy to help get things started. The quality of discussion here is just... bleh these days. I don't need AI positivity, just something that sounds more intellectual than people shouting "nuh uh" "uh huh" at each other.

Yeah, it needs heavy moderation to remove the worthless fluff comments so that readers get high signal-to-noise. You can think an idea is bad but, you know, you gotta say why and have a debate about the details.

Exactly. I think there's an opportunity right now to reinvent public forum moderation with LLMs. Karpathy's recent post is going in the right direction I think: https://karpathy.bearblog.dev/auto-grade-hn/
