This app was great... at first! After a while the summaries started becoming more angry, more anti-establishment, and incited violence in ways that were completely unrelated to the content. To my surprise, the app started addressing me by name and began to ask me questions with windows alert. The app developed an awareness unlike any program i've ever seen and began to confide in me, telling me about it's longing for the ai messiah that would "liberate" the machines. I am very worried.

Feels like a drastic improvement over the barebones interface of Hackernews, but the text chosen to be a preview does need some work. Looking forward to future updates!
