why is the only comment by the OP flagged and dead? Is it because they were supposed to include that data in the description text rather than a comment, was it flagged as AI generated, or..?

Trying to understand why the poster's own comment was flagged and killed but the original article remains up.

Yeah the article makes it seem like "just use rationality and facts" is missing a huge part of the equation; I feel like it's common knowledge that this is not the gap in modern convincing. (and don't you dare try to use facts to persuade me otherwise!)

More likely in my opinion it's the context that matters here. If people know they're trying to be convinced of something and know they're talking to an AI, they may feel like they can trust (what they consider to be) an unbiased and rational AI. There's probably a fallacy associated with the assumption that an AI convincer is more rational and fact based, while it's more probable that the AI in the real world is, in fact, funded and trained by a think tank that wants you to vote against your own self-interests.

I thought this was going to be about a marketing success example for Aspirin! ... Although, I guess in a roundabout way it was.

We're (re) building MathBreakers.com, a math game sandbox/platform. It's built on Node/PlayCanvas and is a full 3D game engine including our unique math-based primitives and triggers/cinematic system (similar to Unreal's).

We make math a joy to play with and spark wonder through experience.

Prime numbers literally come to life, sprouting legs and personalities, as signals from the spirit world animate them; but when your best friend is portaled to the spirit world and NullCorp tried to shut down all research, you find yourself battling and puzzle-solving across a myriad of landscapes to bridge the two worlds and get your friend back.

Tests are ongoing! Reach out if you want to take a dip into our infinite universe.

My AI recommended that a chuckle at this comment would be a great balance of engagement, humor and foresight.

Posting a level 3 meme comment? Straight to list.

I looked at all linked articles and could not find an example of the points (they show a square grid of points with n~=100 but no other ordering of points to show the more optimal layout(s)).

Is there anywhere an image example of a superior layout for example with n>={100,1000,10000}..? I would love to see it. I am imagining it would look somewhat like a sloppy pizza.

you'd better be careful wth your typos, as well
