Rather than an AI algorithm which needs to learn my personality or needs me to learn its personality, so I can direct it better, I would prefer to have a social network leveraging RSS reader. One which understands that I have already mentally delegated the cognitive load for various topics to people I know, who I accept as knowing more than me on those topics. I'm going to need to ask them later if some story is BS or not anyway, why not put that process in the RSS readers?
Posts user A has read and liked would trickle though the social graph out to other users who have delegated to user A in on the related topics (or delegated to someone who delegated to A, etc). Sort of distributing the job previously done by a newspaper's editors out to the people I know and already trust in those sections/topics.

Google Reader has "sort by magic", which basically does that by ordering posts by how much it thinks you want to read them.
