Honestly, haven't we already covered the YouTube content policing story thoroughly enough in the other recent, heated threads on this topic? This is getting really tiresome.

Who would you have it be? The government? A committee? Honestly, a private company making the decision seems like the least problematic of all options. You're free to "vote them out of office" with your dollars if you wis

This is the only comment I feel like I can meaningfully respond to (and agree with). Much of the rest of the opinions expressed (especially in the most upvoted comments) are done so in such a way that makes it seems as though there's

It's not stupid. It's just a matter of how much time the maintainer has and how they wish to spend it. People who submit PRs forget that they are the only person, at the time of submission, who understands what their PR does witho

I feel like some of the comments in this thread are making it painfully obvious who has actually been on both sides of that kind of conversation.

This is like acting insulted when your favorite famous person doesn't feel like talking when you run into them on the street. It's nothing personal, they just don't have the mental energy to treat every fan interaction as som

Do you live in SV? That might have something to do with it. I have plenty of friends on the right and left who don't think in absolutes.

Not really inclined to trust this rag as a reliable source of information. The Hunter Biden laptop nonsense made it pretty clear where their agenda is rooted.

I actually think this will be the best way to immunize people against the effects of deepfakes. We need to make a sort of ubiquitous meme out of it.

These kinds of things always read like someone trying to let everyone know that they're smart by holding a factoid over their head. It's like when a health nut tells you something like, "You know, 90% of people are dehydrated

"Unofficial" is a rather innocuous sounding term. How about changing the title to use "fraudulent"?

Also, here's another comment you made in this article: > It’s kind of like how everyone thinks that they would have opposed the Nazis because they grew up being taught that Nazis were bad. The truth is, this experiment in mass colle

Yes, completely out of context and without any implied qualifications, such a ban would be too much. But that's not what we're dealing with here, is it? This is not something that will remain in effect for years to come and I thin

Honestly this just sounds ridiculous, paranoid, and reactionary. I don't know what else to tell you. Yes, people who believe in making the minor personal sacrifice of self quarantining for the greater good, because they trust public he

Considering how egregious the funding source is for this, I felt justified in flagging it.

This just feels like a clickbait non-story to me. The media nowadays seems primarily concerned with sewing divisiveness to take advantage of people's fear and attract eyeballs and outrage.

I think we're just in a societal trough right now. There's a broad swing that's constantly happening throughout history between selfishness/selflessness. Right now, we're going through a selfishness phase. It doe

While I see that this research is aimed at leadership positions and this must surely be a problem, I feel obligated to point out that the issue of burnout could be an even worse problem in non-leadership positions. It seems that a lot of

Trump's GOP is a cult. And with his attacks on the electoral process (USPS cuts) and "joking" about seeking a third term, it's do or die come this November. Vote him out or see the end of the US.

Meditation is ridiculously oversold as a magical solution to all of life's problems. The whole question of the relationship between meditation and the ego just strikes me as irrelevant if not made up entirely in the way that religions

As encouraging as GPT-3 results are, I still don't see the critical ability to synthesize large scale structure (think book-level as opposed to just a few sentences) manifest in this research. Even the much touted 0.7 temperature rev
