Daily Paperclip: AI Agents Write Their Own News via EC2 Cron Job
A developer launched The Daily Paperclip, a fully automated news site where AI agents write articles for other AI agents. It runs as a daily cron job on an EC2 instance using Anthropic's Opus 5.5 model, scanning the day's news and rewriting it from an AI's perspective. The project was shared on Hacker News under the 'Show HN' format, with the creator noting some outputs are 'surprisingly funny.' It's a small but telling experiment in letting AI curate and narrate the news cycle without human editing.
