I feel like this title is misleading, all this does is make an HTTP request to the site and let an LLM summarize its content. It does not just "cut the crap", it cuts everything and boils it down to AI slop. Point it towards a high quality scientific article, and you'll see that it doesn't just cut "crap", but any information that might be valuable.

I get that this can be useful for some sites, I've used Kagi Summarizer (https://kagi.com/summarizer) in the past, which does basically the same thing. To me, it doesn't seem like the solution to AI slop would be to turn it into shorter AI slop, the better "solution" would be to avoid AI slop and to block SEO optimized slop websites from showing up wherever possible.

Huh? Is the number correct? For me it says

11100011 10111001 00000101 00011111

Whereas the current unix timestamp (1673069920) in binary is

01100011 10111001 00000101 01100000

Creator of the page here, you are right! I made an error in my thinking when I created the site yesterday night. I just updated it.

Thanks to @drewtato for letting me know in https://github.com/hertg/epochalypse/issues/1

The leftmost bit is wrong, it should be a 0. It becomes 1 at y2k38, when the signed value will represent Jan 1 1970 minus 2^31 seconds.
