Introducing Trending Topics

Algorithmic collections of casts about topics people are talking about. They update a few times per day.

Mobile only to start. Update to the latest version of Warpcast from the your app store and restart your app 1-2x. 

Topics will appear on the search tab and in your feed while you're scrolling. 

We’re running this as an experiment in Warpcast for the next couple months.

> Are these channels?

Trending topics **are not** channels. They are collections casts about a popular topic identified by an AI-powered algorithm. Channels have no bearing on trending topics.

> Are the topics on the protocol?

The casts themselves are on the protocol but the categorization and feeds are generated by Warpcast. There are developer tools like @mbd that can provide this for your app.

this creates an interesting dilemma: a ‘large language model’ is a subset of ‘AI’, but if you abstract too deeply, you risk losing what’s novel about a trending topic—‘super bowl sunday’ becomes just ‘football.’ as you capture more content, you lose nuance; as you capture more nuance, you find less content—at least on the first pass.

how would you approach this problem, assuming a small LLM is generating the classification in just a few words?
