Ask HN: There is too much content. How can we synthesize it?
Would it be possible to:
- extract semantics
- use canonical entities
- break down complex arguments
- merge duplicates
- quantify agreement, engagement, support, views, likes, shares
- ignore spam
- ignore false information
- ignore outdated information
I waste too much time reading the same information twice, mentally keeping count of recommendations/opinions, reading outdated/debunked information, filtering out irrelevant content, consuming more new content/conversation than old (but still relevant) ones, etc. I waste even more time repeating things others or myself have already expressed before.
Finding the right content today is a lottery. I would like to talk about how we can change that.
