I don't even like the idea of humans operating without guardrails where I work, much less AI.

This is fun. I like the random page!

Atlas Obscura has great stuff, but their articles are never enough. Always too short.

We need to fund some studies then.

Such as:

Are birds more likely to avoid black, white, orange, or polkadotted cats?

Is neon better than bright pastel?

There's a difference between content moderation and censorship. Not to mention shaping user experience.

For example, If a site has a mechanism where after X number of downvotes by users, your comment is hidden, that's not censorship.

You've spoken your piece, and other users voted on if they liked your comment or not, or if it contributed to the conversation or provided useful information, etc.

Those other things you mentioned, you do so without context. No social media site can function and be a useful and valuable place to visit without some form of content moderation.

The distinction lies in where the line is drawn. Can you (constructively) criticize the site mods or parent company? Speak your own views in a reasonable discussion that don't cross the line (calls for violence, unintelligible ranting, trolling)?

There's a fine line for a lot of this.

I mean, that's should be a reasonable understanding for most people. Sure, there are companies out there I don't support because I don't like what they do. But there are others with opinions I disagree with, but I still patronize them.

And its important to recognize that the stores I refuse to patronize, and those I do that hold views I dislike, are probably not given the same distinctions by others, even those with ideals like mine.

But the core point should be we can have a calm, rational discussion on it, and leave with the understanding that your thoughts and views are not 100% my thoughts and views, and that's ok as long as neither of us hold views promoting violence or hatred.

I've never met a person in my life I 100% agreed with about everything. Not my mom, not my dad, not my sister, or my wife .

Talking and finding commonality is more important and necessary than finding reasons to dislike each other.

It would be a likely explaination... if mass hysteria resulted in brain damage.

How many psycogenic illnesses are known to cause physical damage?

But a psycological cause wouldnt result in the damage found on the victims, right?

Didn't one doctor who examined some of these people describe damage that looked like "a concussion without a concussion"? I.e. damage to the brain you'd see on people who had conxussions, but they experienced no physical trauma?

No, it's not.

Lying? You mean changing their understanding of something new as more information becomes available? That's how science works they use the best info available, and change their understanding as more info becomes available.

Oh look, another conspiracy theory! That didn't take long. Does this one tie John in with Epstein too, like another comment's conspiracy theory does?

Perhaps classes on ability necessary to the sport should be the only way to go?

So your argument is that men are inherently superior to women in all physical aspects? Yea, no bias there...

Why wouldn't people support transgendered people able to be the gender they wish and being able to do so in all possible aspects? Be they transwomen wanting to play female sports, or transmen wanting to play male sports (which you oddly leave out of your question).
