If only n-gate were still publishing their own weekly HN summaries still. The humor was a much needed filter to keep me from getting too serious about things.

what was n-gate? I have a pet theory that humor will be the actual litmus test for AGI.

I would like to see HN discussion summaries, of what HN comments section brain talk about.

Definitely, it would be great to figure out how to summarize the discussions and work them into the UX. Anyone please send PRs with ideas around how this might work!

FYI, here is the current prompt prefix we prepend to the story text before sending to GPT-3. Any suggested alternatives? Will try them based on points here. "Provide a detailed summary of the following web page, including what type of content it is (e.g. news article, essay, technical report, blog post, product documentation, content marketing, etc). If there is anything controversial please highlight the controversy…

Browsing through the summaries, GPT-3 seems pretty good at capturing “controversial” aspect of the stories, which is quite impressive.

Do separate channel with delay to processing HN posts from 8 to 24 hours, and maybe link to first channel in posts.

What would you like to see as a summary of the discussions? Sentiment analysis? Summarize each discussion as one sentence? Summarize the overall unique perspectives? Any more ideas?

It would be great if hacker news can integrate this feature in the main news so people can read the summary without leaving the page.

yeah, one of the biggest issues on HN is that folks comment without reading the story article. Perhaps this sort of summary of the story article can help drive a higher quality engagement.
