- Digg has re-launched with a new focus on aggregating news and information about artificial intelligence (AI).
- Digg’s CEO, Kevin Rose, stated that the internet has more noise than ever, and Digg aims to filter and present the most valuable information.
- The new AI-focused Digg website follows around 1,000 prominent figures in AI research, investment, and media.
- Key individuals followed include figures like Elon Musk, Sam Altman from OpenAI, and Jeffrey Dean from Google DeepMind, among others.
- As of now, the site is located at di.gg, operating in alpha mode; a move back to digg.com is planned but timing for additional verticals is not disclosed.
- Previous attempts at Digg’s return in 2023 failed due to bot attacks, highlighting the challenges Digg is aiming to address this time around.
- Kevin Rose has rejoined Digg full-time, with a vision in partnership with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian to restore the early web’s spirit of discovery.
