Actually I do use BERT-like models to keep up with other news. My intelligent agent YOShInOn ingests about 3000 articles a day, clusters them, ranks them and presents me with 300 diverse and high scoring articles. The articles I submit to HN, Mastodon, Tildes, etc. we’re all chosen by the two of us working together.
What can it do with the plugins? Summarise what is being said on Hacker news? I'd prob not find it that useful and end up just going to HN anyway.
