    "Digg watches what 1,000 of the most thoughtful voices in AI are paying attention to, and ranks the stories they're pointing at by what's rising fastest," Rose said.

    ...

    It also uses AI from services such as xAI, OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Gemini to "classify public accounts, summarize public posts and linked articles, describe public media, generate topic labels, score public content and power search." That would explain how Digg quantifies user sentiment into a percentage for its posts.

    Focus on AI. AI apologists from Xitter. Powered by AI summarizers.

    Barf.

    Let me get this straight. They pulled it offline because it was overrun with bots, and legitimate users had no influence.

    Their solution was to hand all influence over to a bot.

    Genius. /s

    They also have a new URL. I assume this is because the old one still had SEO juice that bots wanted to slurp up.
