Can we get a source for that? Because at the moment, it's just a comment made by a person on the internet with nothing backing it up...

It’s interesting how unsubstantiated allegations are getting so much attention, especially on a site with such high quality discussion.

Much more likely: the upvotes are because many people have frustration at this type of thing, and limited places to channel their frustration, so when they see a post like this, they upvote it to express their frustration. Or maybe that’s just me..

Content filters on ML feel so silly. I assume the goal is to avoid bad press? Because the... "attack" would be someone generating offensive material, which they could just write themselves, not to mention I have serious doubts that any filter is going to be a serious barrier. For images/ video I can see merit, ex: using that nudity inference project on images of children, but text seems particularly pointless.

I guess they’re trying to avoid the twitter AI bit incident. https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/24/11297050/tay-microsoft-ch...

It is for certain that.

File under not "Why we can't have nice things", but "downstream effects of why we can't have nice things".

Why?

Are you unable to believe someone might think differently than you do, without it being explained away as "artificial voting"?

Edit to add: Nice, they edited their comment. Previously it accused HN of having an artificial voting conspiracy. So that is what my comment was about. I will not edit my original comment above.

What type of thing? Asking for genuine curiosity.

I don’t understand, there’s no news here. It’s a comment from a third party speculating over what causes the crash.

Yeah I call BS. The "word filter" answer was selected as the valid answer by a third party (not OP).That's what the OP replied to another comment :

> Heargo 24 days ago > Thanks, I'll try as soon as I get the problem again (somehow it's not bugged anymore...).

Looks like it was just a temporary issue with no evidence that's it's due to a word filter.
