Elon Musk has a very bad idea for a website rating journalists
- mlb_hn 8y agoIt makes sense that something like that is needed. Right now, the media is essentially throwing the bones - there isn't really a way to evaluate much less track what's been correct and incorrect over time, so there's no justification on why one system of interpreting the world is any better than any other. Of course, as the article points out, evaluation is hard. I don't think there's enough of the guts of how this sort of program would work to really call it 'bad' though. (potentially assuming tracking user votes, running in conjunction with something like doc2vec would lead to some cool results for understanding splits in beliefs).
