Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not exactly. It's possible to identify anti-social comments. You just have to define what's considered anti-social, either from a human nature perspective or a cultural one. For example, if we go the human nature route, then any comment - no matter how inflammatory - is fair game as long as the goal of the comment is to "help the tribe" in some sense. That's kind of like political speech. So, you could faithfully arg…

Can you give an example of an anti-social comment? Something specific would be helpful.

By human nature, anti-social would be anything that's meant to be destructive to, or an attack on "the tribe" or a member of the tribe. So, some examples:

- "Orange people are useless."

- "Fuck you, you piece of shit."

- " voters are idiots."

- "We should take away the rights of ."

The more sophisticated the comment the more difficult it is to tell whether it's overall anti-social or not, but we can at least identify parts of a comment that are anti-social and flag them as such.

The main issue would be people trying to get around the AI's ability to recognize it by obfuscation.

I truly think we're hitting a tipping point with privacy. Am optimistic as you on point (1).

I'm feeling the opposite way, would you like to share what makes you optimistic about it?

Nothing particularly interesting outside of AI. But, a lot of interesting new products enabled by the integration of GPT-3, maybe even in the crypto scene. For example, there have always been ideas floating around about creating a blockchain based repository of scientific knowledge or social media or whatever. The main blockers for ideas like that were always content moderation at scale: how do you know that what som…

Which means that, since those models cannot verify the correctness of facts, they will accept anything created by... those models.

Delphi. The VB designer. You mean something like that hasn't been done yet on the web side?

Regarding code generation from design, this space is more or less as old as designing webpages itself. Even early versions of Adobe Photoshop already included the slice functionality which you could then export as HTML. This part has always been reasonably easy. The real problem is how do you keep your changing design in sync with your changing code and I'm yet to see anyone solve that problem well.

I think everyone focuses on the major trends. But there are important background/side trends.

As people realize the drawbacks of silos and the benefit of more intentionally crafted data, Linked Data and other network relative data schemes will become more popular, in addition to their uses for AI systems (which should be the biggest "site" of them all, and something LD is created for).

I would characterize AI as 80% accurate so far. But getting one in five things wrong is not good enough for many tasks. Human/machine oriented data formats like Linked Data will help close this gap, as contributed by projects like Wikidata and increasingly smaller scale apps through better defined SEO (schema.org), for example. Breakthroughs in easily working with Linked Data at day to day levels would be helpful here, right now libraries even for specific domains are very nuts and bolts compared to ORM libraries. For common querying, perhaps GraphQL with network schemas will start to gain mainstream popularity.

We should also see breakthroughs in open standards data carrier formats, like decentralized wallets and credentials. These will have have significant impact because they are essentially like free-floating sites that interact with any site.
