Digg Is Back Again, but With a New Format and Focus on AI

It’s an aggregator of AI blowhards from Twitter 🤮

"Digg watches what 1,000 of the most thoughtful voices in AI are paying attention to, and ranks the stories they're pointing at by what's rising fastest," Rose said.

...

It also uses AI from services such as xAI, OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Gemini to "classify public accounts, summarize public posts and linked articles, describe public media, generate topic labels, score public content and power search." That would explain how Digg quantifies user sentiment into a percentage for its posts.

Focus on AI. AI apologists from Xitter. Powered by AI summarizers.

Barf.

Let me get this straight. They pulled it offline because it was overrun with bots, and legitimate users had no influence.

Their solution was to hand all influence over to a bot.

Genius. /s

AI:

No thanks

They also have a new URL. I assume this is because the old one still had SEO juice that bots wanted to slurp up.

Wow thats like... the exact opposite of a thing I would want to experience.

I guess good job on creating a business model as rage bait?

Dead on arrival. Such a s tupid concept yo rank contrnt based on tweets

Like, again again? Wasn't the first reboot already AI infested?

pass

They should have stuck it out with the Reddit clone. The AI focus is shit.

Dollar store reddit, now with extra AI crap? Oooooh..... Sounds fucking terrible!
