Absolutely agree. I loved DMOZ and was a faithful volunteer for several years. Maybe the time has past and it would be too ripe for gaming the system. Finding dedicated volunteers that "stick to the mission" would be the key. Not sure how possible that is in today's world. Back then we didn't really think about providing this free labor to some company. We were just grateful that someone was hosting such a thing and we had the chance to contribute.
- gremlinsinc 4y agoI think it'd be fun/cool to start a DMOZ, that basically uses a crawler that runs every page of a site through gpt-3 to get the top 10 categories the site belongs to, and figure a way to basically do what DMOZ did via human editors with ai, it'd still allow for human overrides and suggestions etc, but wouldn't require or rely on it.
