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.
Yeah, running it in a fully automatic mode is a big no no but I would love it if someone made a tool that can collect news for me in a nice and organised manner so I can go through them and post quality/interesting ones. When you talk about “x days since…” I assume you’re talking about what I do with titles of my posts, I already decided to do that only for articles/posts that are 7 days or older.
I think its a good habit to label older things. the landscape especially in AI change so fast.
If lemmy makes title character limit higher then I will start writing full dates but I’m not gonna do that now because there’s no space for that even though it’s only a few characters longer than what I do already.
Edit: I will edit all my previous posts too if they make titles longer
Oh no, that was basically a weekly post or something that said “X days since not went on a psychedelic trip and I had to moderate it.”
Edit: Though I’ll be honest, that Right to repair thing on my front page went way over the imagineray spammy line for me. But for all I know the right to repair entered my instance and got pulled in it’s entirety in about a couple of hours.
I must’ve missed it because I don;t understand the context lol
Didn’t miss it. It was a joke suggestion. Don’t worry about it. I could explain it, but considering it was a joke, I don’t think it adds much to the conversation.
If you don’t like that posts from a certain community are showing too much you have option to block/mute the community btw. And remember about this feature because I’m gonna send hundreds (potentially 1000+) of images on various of my subs once they permamently fix uploading images, including mecha artworks, monster artworks, anti car society posts and lots of antiwork posts too.
It was not personal, and I know that. I also know there’s a massive growth currently so I don’t let it bother me. I can be patient until things settle down in a couple of months or so, then I’ll weed out my wall from what I consider spam or not. I’m not letting this growth taint my view on communities I am potentially interested in. The only reason I said that was to give an example of what I think of as spam, not to be critical.
And I’m looking forward to artworks. Especially mecha ones. :)
I mean, I’m sending everything to my sublemmies so it can’t be considered spam, although I myself am annoyed at how hard it is to find posts from other sublemmies on local feed because half of post are mine lol.
