I’ve been experimenting with a project that might be interesting to people here.

I built a live political/news radar that scans a group of Reddit communities every 5 minutes and stores the latest posts in a PostgreSQL database. The idea is to track the flow of online conversation in near real time across places like worldnews, geopolitics, conspiracy, Conservative, Liberal, and several Middle East subs.

The part I find most interesting is the second layer: every hour, an AI model looks at the latest wave of posts and generates a short “snapshot of the world” based on what people are talking about.

So it works like this:

Reddit discussions update every 5 minutes

→ posts are collected into a live archive

→ OpenAI's latest GPT-5.4 generates an hourly summary of the current conversation

The thought experiment is whether this kind of system can surface signals early: •	rising geopolitical tension •	narrative shifts across ideological groups •	topics that are spreading before mainstream coverage fully locks in

It’s free, no ads, no signup.

I’m curious whether people here think Reddit conversations can function as an early-warning system.

My AI based (latest model) says: A ground war is imminent. Get your bets in? Can Reddit predict political events? Built a tool to test the idea. A political radar "tool" that updates every 5 minutes and an AI snapshot of the world every hour.
