Using AI To Filter RSS Feeds
holden writes "According to a blog post, AideRSS has moved from closed to open beta. I've been using AideRSS over the past few weeks to filter my RSS feeds (including Slashdot and Reddit) and I've been quite impressed. They talk a bit about how the filtering system works, which apparently tracks a mixture of things, from pick-up in other blogs, to some clustering technology."
I have too many RSS feeds to read through (but thats in part because I try and read the digg rss feed... ugh...)
If only they could get the AI to do the work I'm missing out when I'm reading RSS feeds.
The secret sauce tastes like teen spirit.
I suppose in these modern days when natural resources are being rapidly depleted by overpopulation and overconsumption, there had to come a time when we would start running out of intelligence... of course I wouldn't know because I'm a little short on it myself...
however
It is pleasing to see that scientists around the world have started to produce artificial intelligence to make up for the loss of natural intelligence, but I think that like everything else, perhaps it is also equally important that we conserve and recycle the little natural intelligence we have left and refine our methods to efficiently extract and use that intelligence to, uh, do something or other, but do it efficiently and without any needless waste. Yes, that's my point.
And to that end I see this Artificial Intelligence RSS Feed Filter as a great marvelous invention, because you see, it combines the old and the new, it uses artificial intelligence to extract natural intelligence efficiently and use it for something in a wonderful postmodern fashion. Now, modern invention assists the primitive natural.
Now, all we need is to have a massive SETI like project running this AI RSS Filler Feeder to search for signs of intelligence on slashdot. Oh, oh, cross my fingers, I hope my post makes it pass the filter...
