I wouldn't normally comment on something like this because it's not the sort of application that I would use. As I am frequently reminded by others here on HN, I am not representative of the majority. But since you seem to want more input, here's mine: The problem is a fascinating one, and one that I (like most) have struggled with for many years. That said, I won't use an external filtering service (AI-based or not) because then all I'm doing is allowing someone else to shape my informational world. Instead, what I've done is to be more aggressive and conscious about doing that filtering myself. I severely limit the amount of attention that I pay to things that I can't affect and that I have little inherent interest in. I read my news through RSS, using an RSS aggregator that allows me to choose sources and set filters that determine what specific items what do or do not make it into my aggregated news feed. I've become extremely pleased with using Kagi for searches, in large part because I can tell Kagi what sites I want to hear less from and what sites I want to hear more from, and in part because I can actually find what I'm looking for with it. That sort of thing. In short, to deal with information overload it's necessary to reduce the amount of information you take in, and the only person I trust to decide what is important for me to see is myself. |
