You are joking, but I honestly would like it to get a personalized weekly collection of articles, a wiki lemma, a comic or two and some reviews delivered as PDF or on paper.

The crux being that it's personalized. It could use my Pocket, RSS reader, reddit/hn voting habits, even my bookmarks db as inspiration. I don't know or care, as long as it manages to deliver me a week's worth every week. Filled with content that I'm going to like 90% of the time, i'd love it and pay for it. I'd even accept ads every few pages.

This is what Google promised, and I hope the near future of AI is able to deliver on.
From what I understand and from what I know of Google (or any big tech), this won't be a "weekly" digest, but rather a constant barrage of "personalized" attention seeking push notifications. Breaking news! Something you should comment on! This movie is trending, watch it now! Your friends have read this book, why haven't you!? Kinda stuff.

What I envisioned, is truly slow paced. Like the "old" in depth weekly magazines. Or journals. Something that I have a week to go through, and that doesn't get stale if I don't.

Maybe I should make it myself (though I guess that's my impulsive ADD brain tricking me into yet another hare chase)
