Since all the talk about LLMs and “AI” started, I’ve been hoping that someone would create a news app that is essentially self-hosted RSS server (like FreshRSS) + a personally trained LLM that would only serve me news it has learned I’m interested in. For example, I don’t care about sports or celebrities and almost never want to see news about those topics. Conversely, I want news relevant to my geographical area, my area of work, and my hobby interests, etc.
Considering these can be run on consumer hardware, I think we’re at the point where someone with the know-how just needs to connect the two.
I wonder if the news preferences could be loaded into a Modalfile so it can persist - as I understand it, this would be the only way preferences would survive separate chat sessions.
I love RSS but I have to be extremely choosy about which feeds I subscribe to because it can quickly become overwhelming given the number of articles posted daily.
