The _last_ thing I want more of is news. I quit news in 2020 and I'm been happier.

  I really wish there was an app to keep up with news that will actually have an impact on me like extreme weather, changes to the tax code, and significant changes to the economy.

    Such a service could only work as advertised if it were run by a benevolent dictator with a zealous aversion towards anyone changing the product to include stories that tell you "that's a good thing" or "X group most affected" or "top 10 reasons men love hairy women" or "the science is settled". Otherwise, I can picture such a service declining rapidly.

      We need self-hosted AI assistants that filter out the noise for us. Only the most impactful news stories, podcast episodes, etc. All under our full, personal control to train.

    News are free. You’re not the customer. People pay journalists to make people aware of some information. Entire countries own news agencies. This is what power is.
