Digg's new app is basic, but a great start

  Rich guys make a Reddit mee-too, wearing the clothes of a long-dead website.

  It has no unique content, is not the center forum of any community, no untapped niche to fill.

    If you are going to use a platform by American criminal types (Ross’ last roject was a “NFT collection” pump and dump called Moonbirds)

    Where is decent/good tech journalism these days?

  I’m a Digg groundbreaker, just because I wanted to see what the hubbub was about.

  It’s definitely not a Reddit rip off, in fact Lemmy is closer to a “Reddit ripoff” than dig.

  That said it is definitely being auto moderated by AI and they’re absolutely using AI all over the place but saying it’s “human at the core and tech at the edges”

  If you’re on Digg it’s possible to be in regular contact with the devs and they kind of dance around how much AI agents are being used.

  That said the AI tldr is actually really cool only because of how horribly it butchers some articles and you get to read wild stuff like JD Vance shooting Trump in the face for peeing the bed because the AI read the ads also.

    Wasn’t reddit the digg ripoff?

    IIRC digg was the old reddit until it collapsed for being shitty.

      There were a handful of aggregates but Reddit was less user focused than Digg was.

      Reddit didn’t have comments initially, just voting news stories and topics. Comments killed Reddit by blowing it up for the masses

    “because AI reads that ads also” is fucking funny

    You’d think summarizing just the article is something a LLM could do. Ah well

    Funny stuff, this how you know they have zero respect for their users.

    Do you have any invites left? I’d love one if you do.

  Another Reddit with AI builtin.

    I was wondering, is there anything preventing AI to train on the content on Lemmy ?

      Difficult, even if your instance blocks it, copies of it are all over the place.
