The crucial line:

> But again, there’s nothing to stop this. These subreddits can’t only fill themselves with joke articles to screw up a site like this, even if this one specific example is good for a laugh.

Most threads will be normal conversations, and reddit (and other discussion sites) can serve as a simple way of summarizing and generating news for 'free'.

I'm thinking that HN too could serve as a source for tech related news, couldn't it? Summarize the target article, then join it up with summaries/sentiments of the top comments in the thread. I didn't say I'm doing it, but if I could think of it, someone's probably way ahead of me already and has tried it.

Anon because I know startups working on that exist and should not talk about it

Information wants to be free; right now it’s a browser plugin that reads DOM and allows tagging; that human work is fed into a training system

The idea started as make Twitter community notes it’s own thing as browser plug-in and then expanded into model training to look like a user browsing the web and read DOM

Not hitting an API, so no fees yes? It’s the user making the interaction choice

Rate limits are going to be the only defense against AI trained to look like doom scrollers
