You'd rather be surfing waves than social media.

We could spend hours describing what makes Murmel so great. We could tell you about its powerful aggregation and indexing algorithms. Or, we could speak at length about our mission to fight disinformation and fake news.

We value your time. That's why decided to give you a sneak peak instead.

All Murmel users have their own private home page showing results, tailored to their tastes and interests. Results will look something like the ones below.
When a result gets popular among the people one follows on Twitter, it will appear right at the top. Additionally, we take into account the recency of the shared content, therefore one only gets the most relevant information.
Not bad, heh? Have a look at the feed below.

The Harvest Will Come

joanwestenberg.com · Dec 06

I spent most of my twenties believing that purpose was something you found once and then held onto. A winning lottery ticket you kept in your wallet forever. The self-help industry reinforced this: find your passion. Discover your why. Land on the thing that makes you leap out of bed

Old Teslas Are Falling Apart

On Consumer Reports' latest ranking of used car reliability, Tesla came in dead last with a rating not even half of the top placed brand.

“CR’s tests focused on models that are between five to ten years old. Out of 26 tested brands, the two best are held by Lexus, with a score of 77, and Toyota, with a score of 73. Fellow Japanese automakers Mazda, Honda, and Acura round out the top five with scores between 58 and 53.

Things get dire when US carmakers enter the fray. All but one of the bottom ten brands in the list are American. The best of the worst was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.”

The right’s mental-health overdiagnosis bandwagon is rolling. Wes Streeting should not be on it | John Harris

theguardian.com · Dec 07

Thankfully, we now know more about conditions such as autism and ADHD. The health secretary must not be part of this attempt to turn back the clock, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Shared by @splendorr and 15 others.
Richard Michael Blaber (@rmblaber1956) · Dec 07

theguardian.com/commentisfree/. John Harris is absolutely right. The result of Wes Streeting's so-called "review" is a foregone conclusion, & WILL find that #mentalhealth conditions, #ADHD & #autism are over-diagnosed - because that is what the "review" is supposed to find, to "justify" the #Labour Government's #disability #benefit #cuts. The personnel selected to run it already believe that - as does Wes Streeting himself.

"Why is our health secretary picking over the number of diagnoses, when he could be focusing on why our systems of work, education and care are still so closed off to the people who get them?"

The ever-excellent John Harris dissects the nasty "overdiagnosis" trope, currently promoted by Wes Streeting and our nightmare Labour government. His style is calm and balanced, but I can feel the underlying rage.

John Harris is a good man.

Bag of words, have mercy on us

- Summary: Adam Mastroianni argues we misinterpret AI by anthropomorphizing it; instead, view LLMs as “bags of words” that regurgitate statistically relevant text. This metaphor explains their fluent yet erratic output, reveals where they’ll excel (well-documented topics) or fail (obscure or novel science), and strips them of fake social status. Treating AI as a tool, not a rival or sage, lets us use it for drudgery while recognizing that true breakthroughs—irrational, unprecedented, under-documented—still require imperfect human creativity.
