Show HN: I built a $3/yr AI workflow to stop doomscrolling Twitter for tech news
I’ve always had a simple but annoying problem: I want to stay updated on the latest open-source projects and tech trends, but I really don’t want to rely on scrolling Twitter to get them anymore. The signal-to-noise ratio is getting worse. To find a few genuinely valuable projects, most of my time is wasted on meaningless noise, outrage bait, and ads. I tried various aggregators and subscription feeds, but I still ended up having to click through and filter things manually. The core issue wasn't solved. So I built a small automated workflow called TechDistill. The goal is simple: Stop browsing the feeds entirely, and just get a curated result every day. Now, this pipeline generates four Markdown files daily: One overall Overview, to quickly catch up on what's worth paying attention to today. Three Source-specific reports (GitHub Trending, Hugging Face, Product Hunt) with more complete details. My daily routine looks like this: I scan the overview first to quickly judge if there's anyth

Help me launch Obsolete: a book aimed at building a new movement for AI reform
I wrote a book! It’s called Obsolete: The AI Industry's Trillion-Dollar Race to Replace You—and How to Stop It, and it’ll be available in May if you preorder through my publisher (OR Books+The Nation). With it, I took on a dual mission: get anyone up to speed on the state of AI and its risks (especially skeptics and lefties) AND write something people working in the space will enjoy and learn from. An unbiased panel of early reviewers (i.e. people I know) think it succeeds. For instance, here’s a review from a skeptical friend: It felt like I was being drawn into this profound vision I had managed to keep out of my head for years… I feel this deep, visceral distrust of AI companies, and chatbots, for reasons that you were able to lay out in various places. I think I came to this like a very non-SF, non-tech, ‘normie’ who is reacting with their gut to seeing the proliferation of ai... But I also had never directly faced the story of AI, how the tech worked, and whether my skepticism w

ChatGPT has a new $100 per month Pro subscription
OpenAI has announced a new version of its ChatGPT Pro subscription that costs $100 per month. The new Pro tier offers "5x more" usage of its Codex coding tool than the $20 per month Plus subscription and "is best for longer, high-effort Codex sessions," OpenAI says. The company is introducing the new tier as it tries to win over users from Anthropic and its popular Claude Code tool. ChatGPT's $100 per month option will directly compete with Anthropic's "Max" tier for Claude, which costs the same price. It also offers a middle ground between the $20 per month Plus tier and the $200 version of the Pro tier. (Yes, there are now two tiers of " … Read the full story at The Verge.

Goodbye, Llama? Meta launches new proprietary AI model Muse Spark — first since Superintelligence Labs' formation
Meta has been one of the most interesting companies of the generative AI era — initially gaining a loyal and huge following of users for the release of its mostly open source Llama family of large language models (LLMs) beginning in early 2023 but coming to screeching halt last year after Llama 4 debuted to mixed reviews and ultimately, admissions of gaming benchmarks. That bumpy rollout of Llama 4 apparently spurred Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg to totally overhaul Meta's AI operations in the summer of 2025, forming a new internal division, Metal Superintelligence Labs (MSL) which he recruited 29-year-old former Scale AI co-founder and CEO Alexandr Wang to lead as Chief AI Officer. Now, today, Meta is showing us the fruits of that effort: Muse Spark, a new proprietary model that Wang says (posting on rival social network X, used more often by the machine learning community) is "the most powerful model that meta has released," and has "support for tool-use, visual chain of thou

OpenAI introduces ChatGPT Pro $100 tier with 5X usage limits for Codex compared to Plus
OpenAI is making moves to try and court more developers and vibe coders (those who build software using AI models and natural language) away from rivals like Anthropic. Today, the firm arguably most synonymous with the generative AI boom announced it will begin offering a new, more mid-range subscription tier — a $100 ChatGPT Pro plan — which joins its free, Go ($8 monthly), Plus ($20 monthly) and existing Pro ($200 monthly) plans for individuals using ChatGPT and related OpenAI products. OpenAI also currently offers Edu, Business ($25 per user monthly, formerly known as Team) and Enterprise (variably priced) plans for organizations in said sectors. Why offer a $100 monthly ChatGPT Pro plan? So why introduce a new $100 ChatGPT Pro plan, then? The big selling point from OpenAI is that the new plan offers five times greater usage limits on Codex, the company's agentic vibe coding application/harness (the name is shared by both, as well as a lineup of coding-specific language gmodels),
