Text is identical, this is not AI, more like a cheap autoposting script. If AI was actually used, it could generate wildly different text every time, it could even use what user said in some post as a context to suggest something to him. That would actually be the only reason to use AI here.
4chan’s /v/ is a great example of regular heavy astroturfing
If the site tries really hard, they can control serverside how many seconds of ad you watched to decide if you can access any content whatsoever. Something like this is already present on Twitch iirc. So in the endgame the only universal detection-proof solution I can imagine is AI/GPU based adblocker that will visually detect ads on your screen and overwrite them with something else without actually skipping.
I personally think this is more of a culture thing than anything related to UI. So yes, moderation is very important to that, features/design/UI/UX to lesser extent. Memes on Reddit are mostly posted to subreddits dedicated to memes, you can actually just not subscribe to those. You can also use “home” feed instead of “popular”, “explore”, “all” so that you don’t get random irrelevant meme subreddits tossed into your feed. Personally, my biggest problem with Reddit is non-transparent moderation. And sometimes even automoderation. Things just get removed automatically for mysterious reasons, then you go ask why. Then question also gets removed silently without any explanations. That’s how Reddit moderation is nowadays. Lemmyworld also has some moderation issues and drama going on, but the whole platform is inherently decentralized and you’re free to pick any other instance with different admins and moderation choices. I already started using few more to see how it goes and to ultimately stick with what I like best.
The only tree structured texting thing from back then that I remember is mailing list conversations. If you remember any names of old forums like that, it would be interesting to research. Maybe there are still screenshots or archived pages of those.
I believe old style means linear threads and other oldschool UI choices, not just look/aesthetics. That one has tree comment structure similar to all redditlikes, which (I believe) is relatively a recent invention? Have you seen comment trees like this few decades ago?
I’ve also had similar problem, but the trick is if you ask it for clarifications without it sounding like you imply them wrong, they might actually try to explain the reasoning without trying to change the answer.
Doomworld for new maps and mapsets for Doom 2 and Heretic.
It’s ok for internal admin panels and their backends as there are no security concerns in this case.
When consuming APIs you often want JSON in successful scenario. Which means, if you also have JSON in unsuccessful scenario it’s a bit more uniform, because you don’t have to deal with JSON in one case and plaintext response in other. Also, it sometimes can be useful to have additional details there like server’s stacktrace or some identifiers that help troubleshoot complex issues.
Definitely all those Udemy / Coursera / Whatever paid courses for “Data Science”, “AI” and whatever else is popular recently.
Well, something like this is actually quite popular in modular synthesizers community. They have one type of modules called “Clock generators” which generate gate/trigger signals for given BPM (Like 1/4 or 1/8 or 1/16 rhythmic pulses for 120 BPM for example) and another type of modules called “Bernoulli gates”, which basically allow to specify probability of input signal going to the output. Those beat-skipping metronomes with configured probabilities are then used to trigger notes or samples or whatever. Also, this is modular where you can modulate almost everything, including BPM itself, but that’s a different story… Stochastic music approaches like this are often called “alleatoric music”.
I think the big problem is the concept of state and corresponding geographical boundaries. If humanity could get rid of geographical binding of territories to states, it would stop all wars, and capitalism would work much better for everyone. Instead of states there could be some kind of unions and they could be represented in different geographical locations, and the infrastructure of any geographical location could be managed by cooperation of unions existing there.
