  • That’s why you need to define the term. Here’s the first result I got when I searched for a definition of capitalism.

    An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development occurs through the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.

    Can commerce occur in other systems? Of course it can. It has, it does, it will continue to do so.





  • Sometimes people use FB to look up old acquaintances. I don’t, but it is a thing that one could do, and in fact many people do it.

    Probably this also depends how often you moved. For example, if you moved away at age 18 and then somewhere else at age 22 or whatever, and will never go back to where you once were, it’s probably not so interesting to keep track of the past jerks. But if you’re still in the same city or region, maybe you would care more.







  • That’s a good start, but where do you draw the line? If I use a template, is that AI? What if I am writing a letter based on that template and use a grammar checker to fix the grammar. Is that AI? And then I use the thesaurus to automatically beef up the vocabulary. Is that AI?

    In other words, you can’t say LLM and think it’s a clear proposition. LLMs have been around and used for various things for quite a while, and some of those things don’t feel unnatural.

    So I’m afraid we still have a definitional problem. And I don’t think it is easy to solve. There are so many interesting edge cases.

    Let’s consider an old one. Weather forecasting. Of course the forecasts are in a sense AI models. Or models, if you don’t want to say AI. Doesn’t matter. And then that information can be displayed in a table, automatically, on a website. That’s a script, not really AI, but hey, you could argue the whole system now counts as AI. So then let’s use an LLM to put it in paragraph form, the table is boring. I think Weather.com just did this recently and labeled it “AI forecast”, in fact. But is this really an LLM being used in a new way? Is this actually harmful when it’s essentially the same general process that we’ve had for decades? Of course it’s benign. But it is LLM, technically…

    Ignoring him is not working for you, or you wouldn’t be here. Either respond actively or distance yourself. If he’s a narcissist, the former might work. If he’s looking for a fight, the latter might work.

    And he was your dad. If he doesn’t act like a dad, though, he’ll become “the jackass who fathered me”. Which is sad.



  • Go look at YouTube, they are already doing it over there.

    And it’s horrible. Sometimes my comments are taken down automatically, but YouTube never tells me why, so I don’t know what I need to change, and it’s even hard to find out if my comments have been taken down. The fastest way is for me to write a comment and then wait 10 seconds and then try to edit it.

    You’re asking for something better but what’s your baseline? What are you measuring? What’s your metric? How would you know if it got better, and more importantly, how would we as a user base in general know if it got better?


  • The moderation impossibility theorem says that your idea will fail. Also, what do you think AI is? People are keen to say “AI”, but they’re incredibly tentative about providing any details.

    More importantly, what problem do you think you’re solving? We all agree that trolling and power tripping occur, but what specifically are you trying to address? I’m not sure you know, and this is really important.
