I don’t mean to overly uncharitable to OPs work but the “AI” stuff jumped out at me too. Especially in the context of their previous post about building a “web3” Reddit alternative:

Now that “web3” isn’t in vogue that’s de-emphasised and AI is emphasised instead. I’m wary of anything that chases buzzwords to this degree.

That's because all the web3 grifters jumped ship to AI when the future of crypto became clear.

I didn't even say "AI" in the post, I said ML. And the ideas I proposed are basic ML 101 stuff. Nothing revolutionary, just basic common sense features that would drastically improve Reddit if implemented. Do you have any objections to the actual ideas proposed, or you just want to ad hominem?

Yea I built this last yea when the term "web3" was still in vogue. I agree that buzzwords tend to be overused and especially "web3", but in any case I'd appreciate if you'd actually address the ideas proposed instead of focusing on the terminology.

For every hype there’s an equal and opposite reaction to the hype. Proposing ML to sort comments is a totally valid suggestion, but might be difficult to get right
