Digg tries again, this time as an aggregator of news about AI (di.gg)

From techcrunch:

This time around, the site is focused on ranking news - specifically, AI news. In an email to beta testers, the company said the site’s goal is to “track the most influential voices in a space” and to surface the news that’s actually worth “paying attention to.” AI is the area it’s testing this idea with, but if successful, Digg will expand to include other topics.

It scrapes x.com and uses that to decide what's newsworthy.

It’s absolute shit. Used to love Digg, listen to Diggnation, etc, but this is absolute shit.
