THE NEXT STEP

At some point in the last 6 or 7 months, I realized that the signal to noise ratio of internet information isn't acceptable to me anymore. But I'm not arrogant enough to believe that my definition of what constitutes signal and noise should be anyone else's. What I need is an intelligent adaptive filter. It doesn't really need to be self-aware of course, though if AI is going to arise, that's one of the areas I'd expect it to be born. For now, an intelligent internet agent just needs to be smart enough to know my personal preferences, filter the entire internet in accordance with those tastes, and keep pace with me as my tastes evolve over time. What could be simpler?


I'm totally down with this.
