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 think that at some point I will be doing weekly posts with curated by me posts where you can click on each topic and you will be redirected to the post with the article or paper where you can discuss it. The weekly post will be pinned and will have links to previous posts with curated news. I want to do it because the more people start posting the more average quality of the posts will go down and it will be harder to find more interesting ones.
Edit: I’m open to ideas on how to improve this sublemmy and protect it from worsening.
Edit2: Actually, I may start doing it as soon as we hit our first week of posts to get good at doing it before more people join so I don’t have to learn in front of many people lol.
