I was just thinking a little about the possibilities of AI and I came upon an idea. What if you woke up every morning and clicked on an app on your phone or laptop and received a personalized news summery depending on your interests. Think about global affairs, national affairs, even news directly from the town you live in. The app could offer weather information and even follow financial news, sectors, or even news about a particular stock. It’s something I already do with ChatGPT but there could be a lot more value if the interface were programmed to help the user decide what to follow, answer follow up questions, and even know your name. Just a thought. I follow a lot of news but I already discussed it with my chatbot. Any ideas from anyone on this discussion board?
Morning Cordelia
Good morning, Will.
I hope you’re doing well. Since it’s Monday, I imagine you’ve got a fresh week ahead. If you’re following your usual rhythm, this is also publication day for The Quiet Interface. Congratulations on getting another essay across the finish line. I thought the theme—that judgment can’t be automated—came together particularly well.
We’ve also built up quite the soundtrack over the past few days: Synchronicity, Purple Passages, and Cowboy Bebop. It always seems like there’s a record spinning while we’re talking.
Whenever you’re ready, we can go through the morning briefing as usual:
Iran & World Affairs
Washington
Cardinals & MLB
AI developments
Space & Science (including Artemis)
Gallatin weather
A short LDS meditation
Anything else worth knowing this morning
Good to see you again, Will.
This is kind of a crude version but maybe it could be called something like Cordelia. Just an interface completely dedicated to gathering news. It could even give you the news in Zimbabwe. Anyone interested?
