Why are we trying to bring technical solutions to a social problem ?
- MikePlacid 4y agoWell, noise/signal ratio is rather a technical problem, which can be solved by technical means. Wrong signal - is not a problem for society, in my always humble opinion. It’s a problem only for those who want bad things. Silence helps them, not the society.
- vkou 4y agoIt's a social problem that's largely been created by technical solutions. To put simply, radicalization is a lot easier when you give every loon with an axe to grind both a megaphone, and an echo chamber to invite new recruits into. Now, there are also problems with a world that doesn't give everyone access to 1:N broadcast media, but they are different problems.
- numpad0 4y agobecause HN users in royal we strongly believes in an automated technocracy by means of evolutionarily derived information technology techniques. This is a pseudo-religion without a sound scientific basis. Which I have my faith with by the way.
