This is kind of blowing my mind, but I'm looking for people discussing the proposal here and can't quite find the valence that seems most potentially viral or self-perpetuating: There seems to be a really exciting incentive to share lots of links, to regularly hit a hotkey to add the current page to a link list, because there is a kind of graph traversal thing that can emerge, akin to recommendation engines spotify or youtube use, whereby your (anonymized) "like history" -- might be interesting to include some metadata, including when it was liked, how you arrived there, whatever -- will connect you with other people who have intersecting likes, and then blow open entire other leaves of search trees you didn't know you wanted. I have this feeling on the net recently where I feel like starved, it just feels so stale and bland, hard to find actually good content, going back to HN or Twitter or Reddit or whatever, these little linear "feeds" with discussions etc. I want a feeling of opening-up, branching, discovery, excitement. I feel like if a bunch of people shared their like histories in a pseudonymous fashion, you could see these fascinating interest clusters emerging and if there was a compelling UI for navigating them, it could really be self-perpetuating and awesome. Sort of like visualizations of LLM embeddings, showing regional clusters of information domains, but with a navigable, social aspect, and where because it's pseudo-anonymous you don't mind running AI recommendation engines on it for you and others. Does this exist? Should it? I would love something like this! |
