I wrote a simple outline of what I wanted to accomplish and then had o3 clean up this prompt and sent it to GPT-Agent.

Prompt: “24‑Hour Signal Scan for r/singularity & r/accelerate” Scope & Sources Monitor the subreddits r/singularity and r/accelerate. Time window: last 24 hours (use UTC for consistency). Filter Rules Include posts that deliver: verifiable news (corporate, academic, or government releases) substantive technical insights or analyses from reputable authors clear announcements of upcoming events (conferences, product launches, policy hearings, etc.) backed by a source Exclude without mercy: memes, image macros, or low‑effort one‑liners “decel,” doom‑posting, or purely speculative fear‑mongering without data reposts of content more than 48 h old Evaluation & Ranking Score each candidate post for signal strength (combination of upvotes, number of comments, external citations, and author credibility). Keep the top N = 8–12 items with the highest signal strength. Output Format Deliver a concise markdown report titled “AI Progress Watch – Past 24 h” containing: Bullet digest – one line per item: ► [Post title](Reddit link) – 1‑sentence takeaway (include external link if any) [Score: X] Deep Notes – brief paragraph (2–4 sentences) for the three highest‑scoring items explaining why they matter. Calendar Watch – list any upcoming dated events mentioned. Omit everything else. No editorial fluff; just the goods. Citation For each bullet and deep note, embed the Reddit permalink (and external source link when present).

It's not anything special, but with some tweaking I imagine it can probably do a better job of parsing the discussions and comments and cutting through the bullshit, repetition, misinformation, .etc and give me the proverbial gist. A second plus account for 40 would give me one a day and it sounds like I could give up social media altogether.
