Get this extension for Firefox.

I'm tired of reading about AI stuff on Hacker News, so I wrote this browser extension to automatically hide AI-related submissions. When the HN front page loads, it will automatically click the "Hide" link for every submission with a title containing an AI-related keyword. A count of the number of stories hidden will be shown in the page header next to your username.

If you want to go dig the stories back up after they've been hidden, you can use the Hidden link in your HN profile to find all the AI stories that were hidden.

This isn't a statement about whether AI is good or bad. I just want to read about other things instead.

I've only tested it on Firefox, but it's pretty simple so it will probably work in other browsers, too.
