24 alternatives to MAGA or Not? Political alignment scores for people and companies

I wanted a way for people to support companies and people that align with their political beliefs. Additionally, I think it can serve as a valuable, source-linked public ledger of who said and did what over time, especially as incentives change and people try to rewrite their positions. This is fully AI-coded, researched, and sourced. Additionally, AI helped develop the scoring system. The evidence gathering is done by a number of different agents through OpenRouter that gather and classify source-backed claims. The point of that is not to pretend bias disappears, but to avoid me manually…

    I'm sure you all saw the debate a few days ago, alongside all the tech influencoors giving their mid-takes about politics. Doesn't it get tiring? That's why I built mindfirewall a chrome extension that uses AI to filter out tweets. You'll never have to see politics, war, or negativity on your timeline again. In the future you'll be shocked you even allowed this stuff into your brain in the first place. Let me know what you think below, does it feel too much like censorship? would you use this?

    Hi HN, I'm Jacek, the solo founder behind this project (Lustra). The Problem: 95% of legislation goes unnoticed because raw legal texts are unreadable. Media coverage is optimized for outrage, not insight. The Solution. I built a digital public infrastructure that: 1. Ingests & Sterilizes: Parses raw bills (PDF/XML) from US & PL APIs. Uses LLMs (Vertex AI, temp=0, strict JSON) to strip political spin. 2. Civic Algorithm: The main feed isn't sorted by an editorial board. It's sorted by user votes ("Shadow Parliament"). What the community cares about rises to the top. 3. Civic Projects:…

    Hi everyone, I'm a developer building a tool to help automate social media post creation. Before I add more features, I'd love to get feedback from real marketers on whether this is actually useful. Would anyone be willing to try it out and share their honest thoughts? Keep in mind this is just an MVP and not a full blown website (yet), I am just testing to see if anyone would actually use it and then we would move on to making it truly functional and aesthetic. If anyone has actual questions instead of straight hating, feel free to dm me. Thank you! Check it out if you want.

    Friends, HNers , countrymen: tl;dr Employee Unions are dead (non-existent in tech). A collective where employees own shares in the company they work for should give a voice to the employees with the management. I am happy to launch Rank And File, a platform for employee activism. Think Institutional Investors but instead of suits, it is employees who own a large number of shares in their own company and act as a collective. R&F aims to provide a private forum for employees to discuss company policies and act as a platform where employees can connect with legal experts and activists who will…

    We are researchers from Johns Hopkins University who wanted to measure American attitudes toward specific AI regulations. So we ran a poll, with SurveyUSA as our partner, to collect the data from a nationally representative sample, and we built a data-explorer to share it. We included questions about where people trust or do not trust AI, and how they expect AI to alter power, inequality, and the meaningfulness of work. There is also a quiz to try, if (a) you want to locate your own AI attitudes relative to the population, or (b) if you're just one of those people who love taking quizzes.…

    Hey HN — I've been working on creating small games with LLMs for the past year or two and found that one thing they have been bad at generally is creating story worlds — they tend to generate clusters of similar characters that aren't intrinsically linked to each other. I was thinking about this and remembered the semi-famous alien invasion political compass meme: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalCompassMemes/comments/ktyq... I really liked how that format enforces the need to fill out all parts of the alignment chart, giving you a rich diversity of characters.…

    Ever wish you could get the best arguments for both sides of a debate? I built an AI-powered debate platform that pits language models against each other on controversial topics. Each AI is randomly assigned a side (pro/con). You vote before and after to see if you were persuaded. Most content today presents lopsided arguments. They provide strong points for one side, weak ones for the other. This project aims to surface the strongest arguments from both sides, using LLMs to simulate a fair debate. With enough usage, I want to use it to benchmark LLMs. My hypothesis is that randomly…

    Hey HN! My name is Paulo. I made this (free) web app https://www.joinoptimai.com to test, track, and iterate on AI prompts. It tests your prompts against datasets that you upload and layers that over a nice UI so you can flag AI responses & compare different prompt responses in a GitHub diff-like view. This can be used to show stakeholders how your AI response quality is iterating over time. Would love to hear your feedback. Thanks!

    I'm Arthur, and I wanted to share an MVP for Marqt.org, which lets you crowd-source the truth. John Stuart Mill said that "Truth emerges from the clash of ideas." In that spirit, Marqt brings two adversarial sides together to quantify truth and showcase the best arguments for each side. It is inspired by markets, where buyers and sellers discover a product's true price and update it dynamically. The ultimate aim is to build an open-source semantic knowledge base that represents the collective wisdom of humanity in real-time. If we can do this, I believe it can solve the problem of…

    It has: War Alliances Presidents Voting for community leaders No users and much more... I made this because I'm terminally online and I'm hyper interested in online communities, how they function, how they evolve and this is basically my bet in the direction that it's all going in. That bet is that online communities will evolve to require much stronger tools to enable mass collaboration, democratically elected leaders/moderators and the war thing is just for fun.

    Hi HN! I built this after seeing several references to Election Truth Alliance on social media, and after reading their analysis, I just couldn't get the problems I saw in it out of my head. So I downloaded the data, and rebuilt their full analysis from scratch. Their critical error is a simple misunderstanding of the Law of Large Numbers: values collected in large samples converge to the true probability in the sample distribution. (not to be confused with the Law of Very Large Numbers: which states that unlikely things happen given enough time. That confused me too) Technical Details: - No…

    Hey HN, I have been working on using the info-gathering and truth-seeking properties of the markets to get more honest reporting on all sort of things. The idea is to have a market game where people can wager a fake currency on what think is true and then, the citizen reviews the crowd-sourced information and makes a judgement about which position has the best case. It is crowd-sourced journalism with a market game. Please let me know what you think and my email is [email protected], if you have any questions.

    Hey HN, I'm a founder at Ovlo a supply chain company.I had a problem. After every batch of customer interviews/research/feedback sessions, I'd run ideas through an LLM to help me decide what we should build next. Except it was obvious to my cofounder I wasn't really validating anything. LLMs are incredibly good at agreeing with you in subtle ways, especially when you feed them context that already reflects your thoughts. I'd ask "Does this make sense?" and get a beautifully worded essay about why yes, obviously, this is the best thing ever. I was using AI as an echo chamber without…

    Hi HN, we're Jack and Daniel from Zep. We've built a visual exploration tool and AI assistant for analyzing Russian election interference in the run-up to next week's US elections. The Explorer uses Graphiti, Zep's open-source temporal Knowledge Graph library. Graphiti autonomously creates dynamic, temporally-aware knowledge graphs representing complex, evolving relationships between entities. To offer users a detailed view of Russian state operations and related topics, we populated the graph with over 50+ sources. These include US DOJ indictments, research by US and foreign governments,…

    I made a strategy game where you play the US or China through the AI race, 2026 to 2030, sixteen quarterly turns in the browser. One run takes about half an hour. At the start, the game seals two dice you never get to see. Inside: how hard alignment really is, and how fast takeoff compounds. You get eval reports, but only as ranges, and they flatter you most exactly when your systems are least aligned. At the end you get a debrief which shows what your evals said each quarter and also what was actually true. I lost every run I played myself so far. Every number in the game is source-backed…
