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

Gen Z’s love-hate relationship with AI
Gen Z is increasingly disillusioned with AI - just not enough to stop using it. A new Gallup report released this week, based on responses from nearly 1,600 people ages 14 to 29 across the US, suggests the hype is wearing off for the digital-native generation as AI becomes more embedded in school and work. Enthusiasm is falling and resentment is growing, even as many young people feel they still need to use the technology. Gallup's poll, conducted in February and March this year, found Gen Z's feelings on AI have cooled significantly since last year. Only 18 percent said they were hopeful about the technology and 22 percent said they wer … Read the full story at The Verge.
