That already fell apart, they gave up after the site got overrun with bots. Coincidentally, they were planning to use “AI” to run parts of the site, including moderation

Well clearly nothing could go wrong with that, right? …right?

I just visited digg.com and got redirected to digg.com/tech. The article titles are

• AI
• Sabine Hossenfelder (the clickbait Eric Weinstein wannabe) and AI
• Sandisk… And AI
• AI
• AI
• AI
• Business podcast about AI
• Bug in app purchased by OpenAI

And the content appears to be AI-generated summaries of Twitter conversations. Phenomenal.

An older version of the website just redirected to digg.com/ai ("AI news, before it trends”, and the archived copy seems to have an ironically oversized Twitter logo).

Poor Digg. If they’d only come around a year or two earlier, they could’ve made bank selling NFTs.
