Yes! If anything both, the supply of veterans and the ratio of judgement capacity to generated content, will only go down with time. So where are the new veterans going to be coming from? You can’t spin up experienced workers overnight. Es

Privacy is losing ground, despite people understanding the stakes. Privacy advocacy is losing the battle, because it is being framed as a choice between privacy and the status quo, and people vehemently dislike the status quo.

I’ve seen Roblox invest and conduct child safety research for several years now. Maybe they are expanding into other industries, but the safety focus predates that.

Subreddits get banned for egregious shit. Reddit stays on the side of letting subs up, rather than banning. Reddit has made it harder for mods to find out which subs you are active in, so that you can’t be banned for activity in subs that a

How? By that method you could compare a pebble to the moon and say you were extrapolating. The only way you would do that is if you didn’t understand the shape/limits of the structures being compared.

I’d scope it down further than cognition. Cost of generation has been reduced, and is highly subsidized currently. Cost of verification has effectively not changed. I’d say as a rule of thumb: verification is the tough part. Our brains don’

Rate of generation/Rate of verification is a proxy for signal to noise ratios, just for work. That ratio has changed, and verification is the hard part. Verification is the point of all markets (and a decent part of human civ as well

Yes and no. At the scale of these firms, it is an issue of incentives, more than it is personal responsibility. I know that many of the people who worked in safety flagged issues. I know NGOs and victims reached out to people in the firm ov

Not quite. The difference is in rate of generation. Today, the ratio of good data to slop has dropped. Previously, you couldn't mass produce websites and have content ready to go at a click. So you had better hit ratios before, and you
