alt Hacker NewsGiven how worried everyone is about the AI slopocalypse where the internet is drowned in LLM-generated junk content maybe it's time for a resurgence of human curated directories like this one.

It was tried before (e.g. Dmoz) and it does not work after it becomes popular.
I'm thinking more like just taking all the text files from 80-90s and making a separate static, frozen in time internet.

Yup. Search engines will basically be dead. Anything you’d type into a search engine you will probably prompt from an LLM instead.
But hand curated human directories should in theory have a very high signal to noise ratio. Every link should take you to a quality site.
