I haven't tried this, because browser extension are blocked in the office, but I will when I'm home, and it's definitely worth a look. The idea idea is that the extension looks at the article you're reading, compares it to what else it can find on the same topic, and runs it through an analysis telling you what it adds that's new, what sort of wider analysis might be recommended, adjacent topics worth pursuing, etc. Here's an intro video. It's all relevant to me, of course, because I do the same thing to a limited extent here in my newsletter. As with everyone else in the world, I'm asking myself what people get from me that they can't get from a robot. I'm guessing it's my kindly demeanour and wry sense of humour. Via Intelligent Machines.
