Show HN: Spegel, a Terminal Browser That Uses LLMs to Rewrite Webpages

A step towards the future of ad-blocking maybe? Just rewrite every page?

Something tells me we'll see more ad-inserting

>Companies burning energy with llms to dynamically hide ads and bullshit on every pageload

>Individuals burning energy using personal llm internet condoms to strips ads and bullshit from every pageload

Eventually there will be a project where volunteers use llms to harvest the real internet and “launder” both the copyright and content into some kind of pre-processed distributed shadow internet where things are actual useable, while being just as wrong as the real internet.

What a future.

Many people were doing that at the turn of the century(!) with filtering proxies, more deterministically and with far less computing power. Some still do today.
