Why I made this forum!

Hello all!
I am launching this forum in hopes of creating a helpful community to discuss AI, development and agents. There are many issues in the existing spaces (Reddit and Hackernews) and I hoping that this being owned by a solo developer can avoid some / all of them, some of these include:

We will have a 0 tolerance policy for using AI to post here. If I suspect you of using AI I will permanently ban your GitHub from the forum (which is the only way to sign in).

Big tech influence- I am not affiliated with any big tech companies / VCs. I am using the hackernews algorithm to rank the posts (rank = points / (age_hours + 2) ^ 1.8). Happy to answer any questions on that. My only goal is to have positive engagement and an active community. I monetize via the ads you see on the sides of the site, I will update here if that ever changes.

Price Per Token is currently at 1.5-2k daily visitors. We will need a bit more to have a very active community, but traffic is growing and I plan on contributing here daily. If there is anything I can do to make this better feel free to reply here.

This is a really cool idea! I think there’s definitely room for a smaller, more intentional space around AI/dev. Reddit and Hacker News can feel pretty noisy now, so something more curated by a single owner is interesting. I'll be following along

There's so much AI news everyday with new models dropping, acquisitions, open source models, etc. I hope this forum can help in us making the most informed decisions. Curious how others are engaging with AI tools everyday and staying up to date on things
