Anyone have a theory why this even made it to this point? the switch was such obviously a bad idea. just corporate weirdness that no one there bothered to raise their hand and be like "uh, are we really doing this?" or was there a story here that anyone knows about?

Of course I echo the universal: Opus 5 sucks. But what also sucks is still using 4.8. Are you all seeing this? It's like the older models got dumber just before Fable and Opus 5 were coming out? I've heard the theory that it's because 4.8 is getting put on older hardware? And I imagine that just ratchets down reasoning time then possibly?

Sometimes I'm just trying to sus out if I'm truly seeing things these days or going a little nuts :)

Show HN: PageForth - An on-device AI news reader that summarizes any site

nate — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 13:09:23 +0000

I was missing the old RSS readers like NewsFire, but also realized I gave up on those too because reading RSS was a pain in the ass. I just want a ton of summaries to skim, and algorithmically go through. So I built a Mac version that uses the Apple local model to do all that. One thing I think a lot of folks might dig here is the Sleeper Hits mode to help find articles from sites you like but haven't already been linked to death everywhere else.

Would love to know what you all think.

I wrote up more about why I built it here: https://ninjasandrobots.com/ai-news-reader

"is not marketing. It is evidence". ugh.

I'm so confused how to feel about these articles. this one is clearly AI written. But blessed by a lawyer so we think the stuff in here is accurate with facts?

I've accidentally posted an AI article before that seemed just as this was, and the community flagged that to oblivion. Rightfully so I think?

Does Hacker News need a "report AI" and we can then hide the AI articles as a filter?

Yeah, the AI percentage usage thing is even a badge on the article which was a neat design touch too.
