If I'm moderating all comments before they're published on the website, what's the problem? I mean, I've got a simple tech blog. I'm not going to publish random drive-by comments. …

This is an honest question. Why does a blog need to shutdown? If they moderate every comment before it is published on the website, what's the problem? I ask because I've got a UK-…

I have to say that this thread is very frustrating to read. I see @lazide is engaging with you in good faith and providing high effort, thoughtful answers. There's a lot of statist…

But nobody in this thread thought it (simplifying assumptions) stopped. You seem to be making an assumption that someone thought that and then posting long explanations that nobody…

If you take something as ordinary as “behavior tree”, 9+ consecutive words don’t surprise me. Many definitions across literature often look very alike. > behavior trees, the system…

I looked at the cited examples but none of them look like “plagiarism”. They look like ordinary sentences and if I had to write them myself, I would come up with similar wordings t…

I'm sorry this happened. This is my digital nightmare scenario! It is disturbing how much of our digital and physical life (utility accounts, medical insurance, etc. etc.) are tied…

You may be right. I barely use the "flag" link myself so I could be wrong about its true purpose is.

> OpenAI hyping their latest model as more "thoughtful" and "safer" and whatever other bogus criteria they claim to boost their valuation. If this is true, it's a valid criticism. …

I'd strongly suggest addressing the points I've made rather than resorting to a lazy dismissal like I "sound like a generated account." It's a non-argument and contributes nothing.…
