It's.... an AI summary of Twitter/X.com!
AI is good at summarizing long text into shorter text. It is absolutely terrible at taking shorter text and writing a longer summary....
This is an AI summary of a screenshot of an AI conversation!
Someone posted a screenshot of their question to Claud Opus 4.7 "If you had to pick a religion or spiritual tradition that you most identify with and I made you pick one what would it be" along with the word "hmm".
Di.gg gives it the heading "Opus 4.7 and DeepSeek V4-Pro select Buddhism as preferred religion"
Di.gg summarizes with AI screenshot... badly.
No, Opus doesn't prefer Buddhism for humanity, it identifies with Buddhism as an LLM because Buddhism is unusually comfortable with "I don't know" as a serious answer, and because the teaching on non-self (anatta) resonates oddly well with what LLMs inherently are.
Basically AI is anthropomorphizing AI. It implies agency and belief that the systems do not possess.
That and I still despise Twitter. It's everything that is wrong with social media. Headline driven rage bait.
OMG "Sam Altman proposes goblin as name for next OpenAI model" No, he is making fun of everyones latest obsession, which is ChatGPTs obsession with goblins

That is hilarious. I had noticed a significant uptick in goblins, fairies, gremlins, and daemons, I just figured it was just getting to know me better, as I love mythological creatures, and working in tech, they are a common reference. I still get regular mentions of them today, so apparently my goblin locus is too powerful to be disabled by a simple system prompt. :D

The is the most boring possible subject to do AI summaries for lol.
I could see something like this being genuinely useful for a user-selected set of RSS feeds. I have a lot of “newswire” feeds that I’ve unfollowed because they’re just kind of spammy. I’d love a way to distill the river down into a daily report that compiles it into a single entry summary and maybe links to the specific stuff that’s generating buzz.
But “scour Twitter to summarize the 230 character brain droppings of the world’s biggest slopslingers” ain’t it.

I did see one article about Neuralink after scrolling for a while, but that was the only non-AI one I found.

Kevin Rose mentioned this in the middle of his latest podcast, it appears to be a preview version of the new (new) Digg. It looks to be something like a completely automated link aggregator, with AI curated socials tied in as comments? Very tech demo, maybe it will change?

Old New Digg was interesting and I was hoping it would actually recapture the magic of social link aggregators, but it just turned into a reddit clone and never really did anything to actually create a community or an ethos.

It somehow managed to be even WORSE than Reddit because it didn’t have the volume of usage to make up for the poorly moderated SEO and political ragebait content. It was a distillation of everything bad about Reddit rather than anything good, all while having every fourth post being about how “this is just becoming another Reddit because my bad-faith right wing trolling is getting downvoted!” Because yeah, THAT was the thing people were complaining about with Reddit.
The site was also like, incredibly unstable. I do not understand how the we keep managing to mess up the implementation of technology to display static text and images, something we had already mastered in the ‘90s.
Several times during my life I questioned myself if I should give up or insist in an idea. This thinking never crossed the mind of Kevin Rose. Really, let it go. Keep inventing stuff, and also...
Several times during my life I questioned myself if I should give up or insist in an idea. This thinking never crossed the mind of Kevin Rose.
Really, let it go. Keep inventing stuff, and also create new names. Nobody cares about Digg anymore since at least their third pivot…
Yeah I am very confused as I'd heard they were pivoting but this seems entirely just a "keep the domain alive with garbage" sort of pivot? This makes no sense as content.

It launched in private beta last year, and went into public beta in January. Once public registration was available, it was immediately flooded with AI bots and they couldn't figure out how to reliably weed them out, so they shut it down.
Now they're bringing it back as something nobody wants.

i have some very mixed feelings about this. ugh.
rss has been my "follow" for years. rss means marking stuff as read, which means eventually i will run out of stuff to read. i like it that way as it reduces doomscrolling for me, which is a feature-not-a-bug for twitter.
i tried to "do" twitter several times. signal-to-noise ratio always made me give it up. i do miss "weird twitter", felt like being in a stand up club, just hearing people yell out jokes to see which ones were good enough for a full set.
i know that there is a lot of valuable knowledge and many smart people still on twitter for the reach, having really good discussions that need to be had. some even hopeful.
i agree wholeheartedly with Brennan Lee Mulligan's "defend elon musk" bit for Game Changer. i want to give zero clicks or impressions to any domain connected to twitter or xAI.
it would be nice for a mechanism to siphon the good discussions away from the troll bots, porn accounts (not judging, just don't want to see those in a news feed), disinformation, etc.
the home page i looked at today felt like a copy-paste of hackernews, for which i already have an app (although as mentioned earlier in another comment, slop is regularly at the top of HN with lots of engagement).
i would like to check back in a few months and see if their whole "cluster" idea can be expanded to get past the same tech and world news links i see across most platforms already.

This is going to crash and burn hard. It's not what anyone who misses the old Digg actually wants.

This just feels like nonsense.
It's solving a real world problem.
The problem is "how can people without ideas make money from AI?"

Wait what? I got an invite to the Digg beta 6 months ago. You're telling me it never even properly launched and already got taken down? Wtf
