How do you quantify capability though? In coding or math there's an easy way to validate the output. That makes it easy to judge capability. But for many cognitive tasks the output is either subjective, not quantifiable, or requires deterministic results. No validation can tell you if an essay is good. Or if an argument will be persuasive to a specific audience. Or that the statistics an LLM pulled from a data source are accurate.

So how does an LLM learn to outperform humans when its output in a large number of tasks can't be validated? These sorts of tasks are a large part of cognitive work and intelligence to me.

Hey InboxReads creator here. I've been facing the same problem with other newsletters submitted to the site so I think you're right that spammers are scraping directories.

I've added a bunch of mitigations but found that they're faking the referrer when subscribing to newsletters and not even going through the site anymore.

Captchas do solve it though!

But I'm just as baffled at their endgame as you are.

Haha you're right it was a necessity back in the day. The look was pretty cool though!

Yes exactly! And native support creates an expectation that every website and app will in turn support dark mode, when some don't or there are glitches it negatively impacts the overall experience.

And you're completely right about email. Seems like many email clients force email content into dark mode, even images and it's such a pain to handle.

I agree with you about the importance of great user experiences and there should be no limit on how much work is put into that. My post was more about dark mode being seen as a necessity for a great user experience. There's little evidence for its benefits and the time spent implementing and maintaining it could be spent on improving all the other issues you mention.
