The actual research paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.18030
Also it pointed to where it is on github which I think means its possible to just tell chatgpt to tell me how to run this on my PC and then play with it, looks like you can just toss in anthropic/openai/etc api keys and go on your way with a POSIX controlled ai managed by any os https://github.com/kehao95/quine
Oooh I just realized you could probably schedule it to fetch content for yourself, if a web browser lets you use it via api. This would be like the chatgpt feature that is basically scheduled prompting but since this lets you mess with real hardware and software you can have a shell command that lets you fetch a “web surf internet rabbit hole”
This would be the way to avoid algorithmic nonsense because you can specify or have it infer your values based on content on your PC and it would do the job of an algorithm but with asuch or as little control as you want and not be beholden to any platforms
