Robert Scoble reposted Quinten Farmer @quintendf · 9h My favorite personal use of AI so far: I live in a small community, and - sadly, but not surprisingly - our local newspaper died many years ago. This makes it difficult to keep up with local politics: it's all buried in county commissioner meeting minutes, zoom recordings from the historical preservation district, etc. But a lot of this stuff has a major impact on our life, and the best version of me would pay close attention... So now each week Claude does an exhaustive check for me - everything down to the local fire district meetings - and writes me a local newspaper. Is it a perfect replacement for local journalism? Absolutely not. Does it help me be more informed about a community I care deeply about? 100%.

Tweet from Quinten Farmer describing a personal use of Claude: having it compile local government/civic meeting information into a weekly 'local newspaper' since his town's real newspaper shut down.
