I have no moral qualms about tricking an LLM, but I would not be surprised if it gets called a violation of the CFAA in the near future.

I hope not. It would be a real shame to offload corporate responsibility onto their customers

Great for shareholders, though.

I wouldn’t necessarily read a lengthy blog post either just because some friend recommended it to me, and conversely I wouldn’t expect a friend to necessarily read it if I was recommending it without being prompted for recommendations. There needs to be some additional incentive and/or interest. Also, I’m reading this comment thread instead of TFA because I didn’t find the previous part I read that great. And I’m not…

I didn't provide much context but, 1) I've had deep conversations with these friends for years based on long articles or videos, and 2) I recommend maybe one or two long form items per year and they used to always review them without, "TLDR?" So my main concern here is that my experience may be a microcosm of the shallowing of discussions correlated with some people's increased use of AI. That worries me. It's more o…

Be aware that you do not overestimate one single data point. They also might be super busy right now etc.

Very interesting, I've thought in a completely different direction, towards human verification. "IRL KYC for friends" or something I always hit problems with it though. Let's say I can find someone I trust. Maybe it's me. Say I only enter online spaces, at least with intent of discussion, with those I've met in real life. Well, at some point, someone I've met face to face would be incentivized to maybe share a link t…

Proof of human is the natural first stop. Your solution shares its essence with a club, a WhatsApp group or interest group. It works, but you will still be at the mercy of the large communities and economies of thought that the members are a part of. That is the broader environment you are a part of. Everyone from FAANG firms, governments to game companies struggle to identify real people from bots. If your platform…

Darn it, pretty convincing. Thanks. Been wanting to talk about the frustrating, obvious problems with my naïve solution.

Has anyone done a decent job implementing those rule-based collections that you’ve seen already?

Not that I know of, I only managed to get this far in my analysis. I have a protocol that might work, but theres a huge gaping hole in the protocol.

I thought about your position again, and there is a large amount of merit to creating human to human connections, which is a significant component of your push.

As long as you don't want to "scale", or are trying to build it over the net, and do it in person, it avoids the issues of proof of life.

Agreed, correlation isn't causation but two people on the same day with the same response that had never responded like that before, so something I'm keeping a watch for...
