Eh, by that same argument, how would LLMs fair when the content of the work itself is about “Something made by a human”. A core fact about information, is that signal only exists in the right context. As an illustrative example: A string of

Yes. In the end what mattered truly was the expression. However - since we are humans - we also care about the artist. Creating something without the effort previous works involved, can and do affect the context and understanding of it. Hah

India is considering these bans. I suspect every country in the world is thinking of them. I work in safety, and you are right in that this comes up every year. The pressures have been building up and it’s coming to a head. However: 0) Tech

Reading the original research and stripping away the motives implied by the bot, the data is aligned with another interpretation. Namely that Meta is going with the flow and using the opportunity to push for regulation that impact its inter

Nah. These would be pseudo calories. Adults tend to forget that they gained their powers of reasoning by exercising them. Getting a summary, the way you described it, will be minus the effort required to think about it. This is great for

Tongue in cheek: Putting your finger in the socket 30 times before realizing it’s a bad idea yourself. Harms are a leading indicator of the limits of current reality.

For fuzzy second order effects you have fuzzy second order impacting laws. You increase disclosure norms, you increase monitoring and you ensure marketing and packaging norms that disclose the potential risks. You aren’t allowed to put up b

In the narrow definition of the term you are using, cigarette companies were found legally liable. The whole reason they got sued and regulated was because they hid the fact that they knew their product was causing cancer in its users. Th

I can get on board with it for sure. Theres a paper that studied the spread of misinformation online, back before COVID - they found that messages cascaded through more science and research oriented networks differently than they cascaded t

This is how bad journalism results in conspiracy theories. I looked at the original analysis and it was fraught with language that leads to specific conclusions. It was most certainly LLM aided, if not generated. I am not ascribing malice,

Right now, Tech is the bad guy across the world. Especially the moment you move outside of America. Tech has always been comparatively more attuned to US mores and voter sentiment. Everywhere else, I only see frustration and people trying t

Nope. TLDR: The macro forces are more than sufficient for this situation to occur. HN-goers are largely unaware of the scope of the Techlash globally. Voters want tech firms to be more responsive to their needs. Governments are beyond frust

It feels like an exercise in futility to ring the alarm on HN. This is happening in India, Australia and will happen everywhere in the world. Tech is now the “bad guy”. Voters are tired of tech firms and want tech firms to be held account

Eh… I am not sure if that translate to “I don’t know”. IDK would require the LLM to be aware of the frequency of cases seen in its own training. I can see this working as a risk ranking, which is certainly worth trying in its own right. Doe

These would be table stakes. They would only indicate that America is moving in another direction than currently. The rest of the world would then take a wait and watch approach. Besides, even getting to that point would need to mean that t

Size isnt a predictive metric for community. It’s great for ad revenue. The point being made is that communities maintain high signal to noise ratios by adding effort filters.

Eh - it IS what most users want. In the same way people want to be fit. There are 3 horsemen of Internet forums, one of them is topics with a low barrier to entry. At that point anyone can speak up, and their opinion takes up as much screen

Yes and no. In the most simple sense - Yes, it is the content that matters. In the more practical sense - cognitive and emotional resources are limited and our brains are not content agnostic. We have different behaviors, expectations and c

Concur. The data is not independent of the conclusions reached, and feels very Reddit research like - (à la Boston bombing). In this case they have named individuals and firms as well, without the degree of diligence that such call outs sho

I would hesitate with reading this and drawing any conclusions at all. The methodology appears to be LLM driven, and the contextual framing which the conclusions are couched in, drive conclusions to a specific direction. It does not clarify

I want to appreciate the fact that the investigation exists, and that someone has made it. However this is the kind of investigation that Reddit is famous for, which ends up causing more harm than good, like the Boston bombing investigation

I’ve moderated on Reddit before - a mass report bot on r/linux specifically for age verification is too strangely niche. Also automod doesn’t remove flagged posts, unless it has been set up to do it. It’s also very definitely ai genera

These changes aren’t being suggested in a vacuum. It’s perhaps unintentional, but your framing makes it seem that this is a baseless whimsy. At this point, it appears that we will be talking to bots more than humans. It’s a brave new world,

You don’t have a choice. We live with GenAI, and the human to bot ratio is now leaning in a different direction. The old norms are dead, because the old structures that held them up are gone. This idea that theres “more hoops - losing parti

This is all communication no? If people do not share the same context, then they will come up with different interpretations of the same content. In communities with more homogenous understanding of the context, people are able to get into
