Moderation is good, indeed it's very hard to upload anything other than a cat picture. Descriptions are also on point.
One suggestion: Please fix the voting system, at first I was excited how well my cat does but turns out it's stupidly easy to cheat and for me - it defeats the purpose. Also, I would love a leaderboard of the best cat pictures out there.
I feel like our AI overlords could come up with captions that are less pablum. Need to turn up the edgy dial or something. The cheezburger internet cat phenomenon wasn't just pictures of cats, there was real humor.
I'm still chuckling about that "roast user based on their HN profile and comment history" bot. I know it works.
why, it just helps with the training data the more images they get so why limit it? plus, dupes are like the cops asking the same question multiple times to see if the results change
To be fair to the site, anyone can upload and it looks like those AI photos are recent submissions (may even be a HN user). If you scroll just 3 rows down it's all dumb fluffballs
This project was intended for just friends and family so the implementation was quite naive (obviously...lol). The project is just using OpenAI's omni-moderation-latest model for content moderation, and a simple prompt for cat detection using gpt-4o-mini.
Thanks to everyone who shared pics of their cats <3
you need a .com if you want exclusively boomers and gen x-ers to find your website by a search engine after they forget where they previously found your website /s
Great idea, love it.

Ignoring all the AI submissions, this is a lovely little site. Reminds me of the early 2010's internet
Reminds me of I Can Has Cheezburger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Can_Has_Cheezburger%3F

They should also reject duplicates and probably rate limit uploads...

Too much generative AI. No thanks
Lol, someone's generating images from this thread.

For a moment I wondered whether it was the old joke site onlycat5.com
Are you the author? Are you filtering the uploads before they are visible?
The uploads do not appear to be filtered by a human. The AI was pretty easy to persuade.
not the author but was told uploads are filtered before visible
what are they filtering for then, because there's plenty of non-cat images up there making fun of the AI while the AI happily accepts it

Amazing… Best cat site since Bonsai Kitten. Excellent use of modern AI to support human joy!
Need more filtering when uploads. Otherwise, peoples are going to start uploading po*ns.
There's an AI system checking for cat content in the submissions. I assume it's told not to accept lewd photos, but who knows.
Awesome. Just finished submitting my chunky cat there!
thanks for sharing your chunky cat <3
Get rid of the AI and you’ve got a great site
I’m impressed. I tried to upload lots of non-cats and it didn’t work.
you need a .com if you want exclusively boomers and gen x-ers to find your website by a search engine after they forget where they previously found your website /s
I saw your upload (or the one you're referencing), thanks for the rapid ruin if you did that
not aware of what you are referencing, only talking about the gg tld
