I don't yet have children but having grown up during the rise of social media, it's clear to me that the way it is used now by young children and teens has transformed even from when I was their age (approx 10 years ago). It worries me for when I myself have to manage their exposure to things like this. On one hand, I feel it would be in their best interests to be completely shielded from it as I personally feel it isn't beneficial for them on the whole at that age. However, it's undeniable

* AI suggests code that completely ignores existing patterns

* It recreates components we already have

* It modifies core architecture without understanding implications

* It forgets critical context from previous conversations

Show HN: A blocklist to remove spam and bad websites from search results

Hi HN!

I've been fed up with search results so much that I decided to make a giant blocklist to remove garbage links by using uBlacklist.

I browsed other blocklists and wasn't very satisfied from what exists now; the goal of this one is to be super organized and transparent, explaining why each site was blocked via issues. Contributions welcome!

Even though around 100 domains are blocked so far, I already noticed a big improvement in casual searches. You'd be surprised how some AI gene
