I'm a user of the original Digg (and many of its iterations, including plastic.com).<p>This whole approach seems tone deaf:<p>> A.I. will also play a larger part in making Digg more accessible to users, Mr. Rose said. For instance, he said, a community of science-fiction enthusiasts could have their discussions translated into Klingon, the language used by the “Star Trek” alien race of the same name. A.I. tools can also help reduce spam, misinformation and harassment, he said."<p>Like nearly everything these days, this sounds like they raised money based almost solely on the premise that "AI will fix everything." They don't seem to understand that humans doing things is what makes all of this interesting to humans. I remember a BBS door that translated english to klingon. It was cool then because someone built it, but the fun was always doing it ourselves.<p>And is there any precedent for AI moderation at scale? It's another example of a LLM wrapper with no moat.<p>Finally, the attention to moderators seems like a swing at Reddit. But are there people dumb enough to fall for that trick again (don't answer that lol)?<p>At some point we need to realize that these VC driven "ideas" are all just content honeypots for AI training and do our own thing.
