This is great, but I didn't realize that was a video at the top of the page; I think it needs the 'muted' attribute for it to autoplay.
Hey, dev on this project, thanks for the heads up! Fix should be there soon.

#22JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon testified before a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs hearing on September 22, 2022. Dimon mentioned that as the U.S. nears a potential default on its sovereign debt, markets could experience panic. ...[1]
He said that today, but in an interview with Bloomberg. The source article[2] just illustrates it with an archive photo from 2022, when he testified in a Senate hearing. Similarly, the Disney article[3] starts non-sensically The Disney+ logo was displayed on a TV screen in Paris on December 26, 2019. Disney shares decreased by 9%[...] (I don't think displaying the logo 4 years ago is to blame).
I suppose you should just stop parsing image subtitles. The two articles I checked were otherwise accurate.

#23I'm sceptical about how good you can make low-quality source material. If you've managed to train an AI to find the little nuggets of truth that the headline is based on, that's cool. But if the topic is relevant, there will be an article from a reputable source about it.
With the current advancements, is there finally a browser extension that just hides clickbait titles/thumbnails?

#25I'm generally excited about something I'm calling "English to English translation" - and this is a good example. Previously translation has focused on going between languages. I think there's just as much benefit to translating within a given language. * Translate corporate speak to plain English. * Translate passive aggressive to calm and peaceful. * Translate sensationalist to neutral (like the OP). * Translate imp…

TI have been thinking on similar lines. I have access to my own freelancers.
However, do you have any pointers to algos/libraries I should be using? My NLP skills are not great!

#26I need an alternative YouTube homepage that generate video suggestions without clickbait titles and thumbnails.
But how will you know what to click on without a goofy face with a shocked expression?

#28The most watched and read US news site has not a single submission on the front page [0]
Wonder if you can make Fox News boring too.

I've come around to there being legitimate usecases for this type of generative AI, but I don't think producing anything that's supposed to be "True" or "Correct" is one. I think the only useful usecases is for when you want to generate fiction.

The same concept applies to so many things
One time, local-dialect subtitles completely changed a movie experience for me
It was an American movie. Where I was, they usually watch movies with english audio and neutral Spanish subtitles
This time, instead of neutral Spanish, they used local Spanish with slang… wow, what a difference in the way the movie felt
Having local language and slang can convey meaning and emotions so much more effectively
