Got tired of reading news with a single bias so I built a thing.
SMLZ spins up multiple AI agents via Claude SDK, each locked into a different analytical worldview, sends them off to do their own research from their own sources, then synthesizes everything into an intelligence report. No editorializing, just claims tagged [CONFIRMED] / [REPORTED] / [ASSESSED] and presented through 7 different lenses simultaneously.
First instance covers the Iran-US-Israel conflict. Each topic gets its own subdomain and is fully independently configurable, so theoretically I keep adding topics forever or until I get bored.
Runs on a single Hetzner VPS because I'm not made of money. Each full pipeline run is ~$30–45 (seven agents, synthesis, 9-language translation, images). Planning to hook up per-topic crypto donation wallets that automatically trigger a refresh if someone wants to force one, otherwise I'm running it once a day.
Theoretically I could keep adding agents. More lenses, more sources, more synthesis layers. Knowledge work really has changed … it's wild what a solo dev can just... spin up now. We’re gonna see some cool stuff built in the coming few years, especially once current SOTA models are cheap tier.

Writing CONFIRMED after a lie said by Trump because you've confirmed that Fox News claims he actually said the lie isn't a great UI.

I'm fining letting the models decide. In fact, they will only get more nuanced and sophisticated over time. This is the worst it will ever be.
I'm using Sonnet right now, I'd be curious to see how Opus would classify the same claims.

It's not an AI issue, there's human based fact checks that similarly "confirm" as "true" the non-interesting bit of a claim.
Snopes has a "Correct attribution" label for this, which also covers ambiguous jokes, misstatements etc.
