News Minimalist uses AI (ChatGPT-4) to read the top 1000 news every day and rank them by significance on a scale from 0 to 10. Significance is estimated based on seven factors: scale (how many people the event affected); magnitude (how big was the effect); potential (how likely it is that the event will cause bigger events); novelty (how unexpected or unique was the event); immediacy (how close in time is the event); actionability (how likely it is that a reader can act on the news for personal benefit);

positivity (how positive is the event [used to fix media negativity bias]); credibility (how credible is the source). The results are posted on the main page.

No blind trust, no propaganda—just a bullshit detector for the modern age.
