HN has gotten to the point where it’s not even worth clicking the link because of course it’s ai slop.

There is some real content in the haystack, but we almost need some kind of curator to find and display it rather than a vote system where most people vote on the title alone.

If you’re looking for a place that surfaces only human-written content regardless of whether it’s interesting, rather than interesting content regardless of how it was written, HN is not the place.

There might be a market for your alternative though. Should be easy enough to build with Claude Code.

If the content was interesting, the author would've written about it himself.

By asking AI to write the article for you, you're asserting that the subject matter is not interesting enough to be worth your time to write, so why would it be worth my time to read?

[Gigachad]

You just need AI to read it for you and summarise back in to the original prompt.

I know the author personally. He's hardly the type of person to publish AI slop. Read his other articles and watch his talks, this is very much Henry's literary style.

Sure, let me have a look.

He wrote 8 similarly lengthy blog posts in just 2 months: https://www.juxt.pro/blog/from-specification-to-stress-test/ https://www.juxt.pro/blog/three-paradoxes/ https://www.juxt.pro/blog/what-outlasts-the-code/ https://www.juxt.pro/blog/composition-at-a-distance/ https://www.juxt.pro/blog/new-vocabulary-for-an-old-problem/ https://www.juxt.pro/blog/softwares-second-heroic-age/ https://www.juxt.pro/blog/capability-hyperinflation/

They contain a lot of classic LLMisms:

"Implementation is the shrinking currency. Not because it’s worthless, but because supply is exploding."

His past writing was much, much less wordy: https://henrygarner.com/
