If you check the newest submissions right now (https://news.ycombinator.com/newest), ten out of 30 are already dead, some only sent five minutes ago.On the second page, it s 9. On the third, 11.It seems unlikely that many people are downvoting them so quickly, and for most I can t see why they should be dead.I know that there s websites known to publish only AI slop which are probably blacklisted here, but it seems unlikely that a third of the submissions are about them.There s some automatic AI filter now?How does it work, and are people assumed to check all recent dead posts and vouch for them if they don t deserve to be dead?I imagine that the wide majority of users assume there s a good reason for something to be dead, and ignore it rather than performing that check.
