Starting from a basic spaced repetition system, ContentMold projects will explore innovative review methods based on browsing-oriented learning, interleaving long form sources, and user-centric reinforcement learning. By bridging curated feeds, learning pathways, and scheduled review, users take control of their information diet and turn passive doom-scrolling into active learning.

This is only Act One, however. Once interfaces like this become popular, incentives will exist to create content specifically for this kind of practice. Discussions that center around explicit ontologies can be more concise, and build more concensus. There are many similar projects and initiatives in this direction already, and we have every intension of integrating, building bridges, and joining forces.

Many hard questions remain. How can information discovery sustain itself without resorting to the Yellow Pages business model? How can creators' content and original words be prioritized over the genAI content which was trained on their work, or trivially regurgitates it? How can the existing network effects of the advertising-funded platforms be overcome? How can the commodity value of content be realized on platforms that don't surveil and advertise?

For more imagination of the direction I'm looking see The Content Ecosystem I Want.
