I’ve spend a lot of time on r/singularity the past year but over that time i have seen it grow pretty disappointing.
The complexity of “The Singularity” means that some great articles, like those on nanoparticles, get overlooked and buried because they’re harder to understand than a ChatGPT meme (no offense to those, though).
Finding new, high-quality content to share on this topic isn’t easy either, especially with the influx of sensationalist articles. And if I do find a great article, chances are high that @Martineski has already posted it (good job, by the way).
So, here’s an idea: why don’t we get some futuristic help? There’s a bunch of websites that are generally posted here more frequently because there content is just more aligned with out interests (my guess). We could have an AI sift through the .rss feeds from these sites, pick out the best articles, post them here and even include a brief summary explaining why you, an interested singularity enjoyer should care.
This could help us find and understand the right content more easily, and kickstart more engaging discussions about the singularity and our future. It’s a proactive step to keep our community vibrant and informative. Thoughts?
Yes this post was partly made with help from ChatGPT.
i really like the idea of having one active post from the AI at the top which gets replaced regularly, it could have the AI summarise active threads saying things like ‘users seem to like the idea of AI Curated posts but some have reservations about it as they fear it’ll get spammy’ maybe even it’ll be able to gather some statistics ‘70% of replies were favourable to AI Curation however slightly over half of those in favour suggest it should happen in a limited capacity…’ that could be really interesting.
it could also do a round-up of related sites and news outlets in a section where it says things like 'this story has been written about widely in the media, these articles express a generally favourable approach while these draw a counter opinion. These articles are of note or contain extra details; wired.com ‘Should the singularity community on fmhy adopt AI Curation?’ contains a detailed discussion with @webghost0101 who proposed the idea, yahoo finance ‘singularity community to adopt AI Curation?’ raises an interesting point not made elsewhere [quote from article].
it might even help shame us users into being better community members ‘today there are 47 meme posts about the exact same topic. all of them are reposts and as of the last scan 0 people have said anything new or original.’
