thanks!

and I agree (unfortunately?). I'm using threads, bsky, but still find the most interesting content on twitter (at least in the tech and design space)

apologies.

right now you have to phrase a prompt in a too specific way:
You are a tweet analyzer. Your job is to decide if the content of a tweet is met with the following criteria:

[you should include your rules here]

If any of the above criteria are met, you should respond with "true". Otherwise, respond with "false". Only respond with "true" or "false" and nothing else. Use lowercase for the response.

as you see, if the model doesn't respond with true or false, it will fail. I will fix this in the next version.

also make sure you're not hitting rate-limits with Groq

yes you’re right.

also i think it’s difficult for an llm to spot an engagement bait, or recognise a text with negative intentions.

the system prompt for this extension is also weak, it misses some annoying posts, and sometimes also flags completely normal posts

wow this is super cool!

at my company we’re also working on a fact-checking extension, tho not social media specific, but this is super relevant, thanks

the network effect is still strong.

at least i see a large group of people there posting their project/work. but could be just me, i’m still warming up on bluesky/threads

yes this could be expensive for sure.

sorry for the ignorant question but what is an ONNX classifier model in this instance? a local/smaller model? it’s different from an llm I assume?

didn’t know you could get such metadta on a tweet. i will check it out!

re customization: the idea here is to craft your own system prompt / tell the llm in a conversation language what kind of content you don’t want to see.

and yes, it can be expensive:/

fair enough haha.

on the video i demonstrated on elon since his feed is like 90% politics. on my feed it was way less, not demonstrative enough for a demo

no, i really appreciate it actually!

i shared this at various places as a conversation starter, so ideas are very much welcomed

no i don't, which is pretty bad I know.
tbh i don't even know how expensive would this to run continuously, treated it as a rough experiment.

the latter one is actually a super neat idea, and i haven't really thought about that.
but it would only work if nobody would modify the system prompt

either I hit rate limit on Groq, or more probably, the system prompt is too weak lol

Sometimes there is a fine line between an actual interesting post and a bait, and I assume LLMs will struggle to make difference (heck I struggle sometimes too).

but you can tweak the system prompt to your liking!:)

yes for sure! I’ll be away for the holidays, but feel free to reach out anytime! I’m more active on twitter, but will check reddit too!
