  I like a big jobs program, but I don’t have truck with this one

  I thought arytom did a ninja edit, not you. Maybe a federation issue, maybe I shouldn’t be dropping comments at 3am. We’ll never know!

  And yeah that’s basically what I’ve heard about proton.

  In the context of the unedited comment the horse’s mouth thing made sense, it just looked like a weird nitpick. I just saw the ninja edit - that was poor form - and I don’t support proton in any case. Additional caveat, my fuckin watch woke me up at 3 am, a couple hours ago, to congratulate me on three hours of sleep. I might be missing something.

  Hopefully that’s enough caveats.

  Right - I won’t call it a good thing to let people deskill on reading comprehension skills, but they’re donating their labour to a public benefit! I’m hardly going to scold them as if I was their professor.

  Speaking very generally, it’s still conceding an amount of human intelligence and there are problems with it that are worth talking about, but it’s a use of AI that at least defers to human judgment, and as long as users are still personally researching and writing their own edits I honestly don’t hate it. Much.

  It is largely unpleasant, deliberately unrewarding yet addictive, occasionally punished, politically slanted towards billionaires, and a privacy nightmare. If anything it’s a testament to the human desire for connection that we’ve used it this long.

  I feel like you never see anyone use maths language correctly anymore. The word is “one twentieth”.
