Why I built a heavily moderated news site for AI professionals

I am sick of reading the nineteenth post of someone building a wrapper around ChatGPT and calling it an innovation.

Sadly, this kinda of ML news dominates HackerNews and Reddit. So in good old Hacker fashion, I did build my own site for it: https://news.aiapipro.com/

  What is different?

I am paying a freelancer to content moderate the site and also have an auto-moderator bot in place, to keep the site as clean as possible and deliver actual technical news, no marketing spam.

  Are there any users so far?

A few people already use the site on a daily basis, and with this Show HN, I hope to get more people on board, as in the end, the best source for good news is experts discover during their daily stroll around the internet.

The human posts are augmented with a few RSS feeds, which you can find (and contribute to) here: https://github.com/aiapipro/news_ai_api_pro_bots/blob/main/rss_feeds.json

  Doesn't something like this already exist?

The only things that somewhat came close were these closed, hand-curated weekly AI newsletters, but they are also flooded with ads, and you can't discuss the articles.

It would be awesome if you gave it a try and liked it. I hope that together we are able to build up a highly technical community.
