Regarding the 'no more training data' point.

I agree that text capabilities are maybe hitting the limit of available training data.

But, the big AI platforms are now being used by so many people for so many things that this becomes the new data source for new and different types of abilities.

Theres also the fact that the AI story means they've been able to fund huge data center builds and hardware innovation. This will lift the existing AI/ML applications (e.g. robotics, sensing) in themselves, as well as the fact that they can be integrated with the text models in probably really useful ways.

So I think, maybe text abilities are nearing the end, but intelligence and other interfaces with the real world still have a lot of space to grow.

Car share apps could have a camera and audio on mode.

- The inside of the car is surveilled and made available for both parties after the ride.

- The intent is made clear, that this is to capture a trace of any harassment or misconduct. Hopefully making this statement puts all parties on their best behaviour.

- Any failure to comply by the driver, camera blocked or audio muffled, then driver gets penalised.

Nah, disagree. I feel more free on this site than all the others so I back the name.

I think, if you have a saboteur, they're probably not part of your 'network'. The people you've endorsed probably won't have endorsed the saboteur, so the saboteurs activity should not effect your feed in any meaningful way. This is how trust works in real social circles.

Moderators clearly work but it's a shame it relies on single people doing a good thing. It's a shame the moderation can't be done by everyone all the time, unconsciously.

I always thought there was a space for a social media that has upvotes and followers and all that, with the intention of creating echo chambers and segregating users into their own groups and that sort of thing, but with the ability for anyone to go on a 'holiday' into the other echo chambers, to see what those other users experience.

Likes are not one dimensional. Likes flow from one person to another. If you like someones posts, you're more likely to enjoy the things they like. A network of endorsement emerges and the subgroups can become clear.

Thanks for the advice! Going to mull it all over for a while and discuss with my team mates.

Good point around engagement (or lack of) - if that is it, then closer mentoring could make things worse.

I am curious what the UK was like 20 years ago, can't say I was very aware around that time. Would love to hear your thoughts on how and why its gotten worse.

I think its easy to shit on the UK at the moment because we're in this period of relative decline. The point I was trying to make was that in absolute terms, it's still a great place with a lot of upsides, it just takes more work to realise it and even more work to be grateful despite of it all.

Going from 5 to 4 hurts, going from 3 to 4 feels good. Either way, you're still at 4. It's on the people of Britain to recognise that 4 is still OK, better than the 2 that many countries experience, and better than the 1 of fighting lions and being murdered by your fellow tribesman because he's bigger than you.

On the other hand, the UK is one of the safest countries in the world, is full of kind people, has a general abundance of food, gives workers a relatively large number of days off in a year, has a functioning police force and takes care of sick people and those who can't work for whatever reason.

Of course it is not perfect.

The people of Britain may not have huge bank accounts, but this is partly because they collectively spend their earnings on the worthwhile things mentioned above.
