Even though they call it pass, this can really be used for a ton of things. Neat addition to the ecosystem, I never would have thought of putting it in the hands of normal users.
Re:Only 2.6% of the most visited websites have fully valid HTML on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @10:19AM (#49272791)
I would def argue this is a feature of the net ( that people from all walks of browsers can see mostly the same thing ) and not a bug.
Re:Apple Is the King of AI and Nobody Knows It on Saturday July 25, 2026 @05:59PM (#49052040)
I submitted this ( I am not the author ) because I thought it was interesting take, I honestly didn't think it was AI, maybe AI polished, but not AI. Was surprised when it was flagged and I saw over on HN Removals . Ran through Claude and got this back:

"Overall, my honest read: this feels like a human-written opinion piece (possibly AI-assisted for polish/editing, which is extremely common now), not a fully AI-generated article. The specific personal history ("I've been saying this in group chats for months"), the running joke about being right before everyone else, and the reader engagement in the comments (with the author replying) all point to a real person with a strong personality behind it — though I can't rule out that Claude or another model helped tighten the prose."

It is interesting that everyone was so very certain it was AI written. Just read your comment about it being Claude based, now I am trying to figure out if Claude is trying to recuse itself in some way by giving me those results.

Still feel like the point it interesting and going to keep diving into it and I am surprised it was flagged. May have to up my reading on Removals more and more.

I KVM between a bunch of boxes and I have a Doio KB16 for Claude and I love it. I get the reasoning for the product. Price is..... interesting.

"A separate strand of research frames resistance to AI itself as an identity-protective response, where workers push back against the technology because it threatens how they understand who they are."

Great read.
