What you’re describing is early Facebook. Your feed was only from your 1st degree connections. Content mattered because it was from people you cared about (and inherently knew, because users wouldn’t accept friend requests from people they didn't know). It really was the pinnacle of social media.
Why don’t you stop being coy and say who you think it is?
Yeaaaahh you keep saying that to yourself.

The lack of action by people while expecting the government to do something is farcical.

“There ought to be a law!” the outraged but impotent mob cries - and there will be one, when you take matters into your own hands and write it, just like the people who established this government did.

> But I'm not sure there is a business model there at the scale the industry demands.

This is the kicker. When unfettered by regulation or leaders/workers with morals, most industries would rather avoid human curation because they want to sell you something. Amazon sellers would rather you not see or not trust the ratings because they want you to buy their stuff without knowing it's going to fall apart. Amazon makes a profit off it, so they somewhat encourage it (although they also have the dual pressure of knowing that if people distrust Amazon enough they'll leave and go somewhere else, so they have to keep customers somewhat happy).

No, curation has to come from individuals, grassroots organizations, and/or companies without a financial interest in the things being curated - and it has to revolve around a web of trust, because as Reddit has shown, anonymous curation doesn't work once the borderline criminal content marketers find the forum and exploit it.

> The only way out I can see is something along the lines of human curation of human-generated content.

...however, unfortunately, curation doesn't solve the problem of people desiring AI-generated content. That's a much harder problem. Even verifying that something was created by a human in the first place is hard. I don't want to think about that. I'm just going to focus on curation because that's easier and it's also incredibly important for the lowering quality of physical goods as well.
Those for profit can be forced to add watermarks/metadata and uploading tech (Google Chrome, Apple, Google Android, Firefox all what the public uses now) can be forced too.

There's a reason most people don't mention them, as some of this thread illustrates, sorry.
The drawbacks section is pretty damming that this is unlikely to work:

> JB Straubel, then chief technology officer of Tesla Inc, discounted V2G, claiming that battery wear outweighs economic benefit.[87] A 2017 study found decreasing capacity,[88][89] and a 2012 hybrid-EV study found minor benefit.[90]
A 2015 study[91] found that economic analyses favorable to V2G failed to include many of the less obvious costs associated with its implementation. When these less obvious costs were included, the study reported that V2G was an economically inefficient solution.
Surely a big ingredient of this problem is: Google Results == Internet.
The obvious fix is to not step up basis on death.

The estate tax already means that the estate of a person who dies may need to sell / divide / split stuff to pay the government. There already is no fundamental protection for an asset passing unscathed from a parent to a child. I don't see how not stepping up basis qualitatively changes this.

And your argument of "you want a child to be able to inherit a family business / house and keep the family business protected" is incredibly axiomatic and the antithesis of a tax. While it's inherently consistent, you're making the same general argument as "all taxes are theft".

Yes taxes may be theft in one view, but under our current society, raising revenue for the common welfare is also a virtue, so we can't have have it both ways.
not that this isn't also unsubstanciated hearsay but having worked with an ex-8200 member I did hear something similar. That being said Google is orders of magnitude scarier and more intrusive than this is.
Tbh I think this is just it for the public internet. It's not Google that's failing, it's the substance of the public internet that has failed. Whenever I need help or questions answered on something, I don't google it, I don't post on public forums, I ask on private group chats where I know everyone is a real person, no one is making money, no one is copy pasting chatgpt to collect internet points to sell their account later.

There is only one way I can see things changing and people aren't going to like it. All content on the internet gets linked to a legal ID. Every post on facebook, every comment can be attributed to a real person.

At a certain point, you exceed the ability of the earth to reject heat and the planet becomes venus, though that would take a few more centuries of exponential growth.

It isn't crazy to think that there are physical limits to things.

Malthus projected that populations would grow exponentially, but agricultural yields would grow linearly. He was wrong in that ag yields did keep up and population growth slowed down. One thing to keep in mind is we used fossil fuels and fertile lands to do that, but we are hitting the limits for fossil fuels and we are burning through arable land.

However, there are other physical limits, and some of these are a bit harder to work around. Infinite growth isn't necessary, but a decent life and an equitable distribution of wealth is.

Yes, coal is a disaster. Nuclear risks (major accident, waste, proliferation...) is a potential disaster.

> deaths in neighbouring countries, every year

True, and quite sad. No nation yells because each is a culprit: emissions caused by France's fossil fuels (transportation, industry...) is far superior to those of the German gridpower system. We can agree that all this is a catastrophic state of affairs. Germany's nuclear phaseout is a drop in the sea and wasn't conducted due to some whim.

> Nuclear is like air travel : spectacular when it fails, but much safer

The amount of victims of past accident is controversial, therefore this is controversial.
I don't think the heuristics are that different. SEO-spam and BS content existed before, and both Google and YT were full of them, all made by human "content creators" who optimized for clicks and focused on gaming the YT recommendation system. AI content isn't that different. But unfortunately it's now 100x easier to generate such content, so we see a lot more of it. The problem is fundamentally a problem of incentives and the ad-based business model, not a problem of AI. AI has made the enshittification problem a lot more visible, but it existed before.

I don't know what the solution here is. My guess is that the "public internet" will become less and less relevant over time as it becomes overrun by low-quality content, and a lot of communication will move to smaller communities that rely heavily verifying human identity and credentials.

I think that's more an effect of the language being new to you, and the company coding culture not having developed around it yet, than a problem with the language. Kotlin has warts, sure, but we have been using it for seven years now, and while we did have some bikeshedding in the beginning, it is virtually absent from our code reviews now. The language didn't change (well, it got even more features), but we did.

I would start by asking what they need computers for.

You don't really need one to read text from a screen. Of that most would be old documents that for the most part should be public. What remains besides reading is most likely 95% stuff they shouldn't be doing.

The most secure part is the stuff we wish they were doing.

> I think that's partly because the simple experiments, like cellular automata, he used to come up with this principle actually explore the 'space of simple rules', not the 'space of ordered sets of states of systems'.

I think it’s the opposite actually. He chose to study these recursive systems because they seem to describe reality, and then when he found more evidence that they do a good job describing reality, he kept studying… so on and so forth. Basically a sort of hermeneutic circle type deal.

You do a much more thorough job of describing it. I should’ve mentioned the recursive part earlier. I just kinda assume we all already know we’re talking about recursion and time steps and that’s not a useful assumption
> We started by putting advertisements on existing content, then moved to social networking and social media, which was essentially an engine for crowdsourcing the production of greater amounts of content against which to show advertisements.

I see a lot of people talk nostalgically about blogs, but they were an early example of the internet changing from ever green content to churning out articles on content farms. If people remember the early internet, it was more like browsing a library. You weren’t expecting most sites to get updated on a daily - or often even a monthly - basis. Articles were almost always organized by content, not by how recent they were.

Blogging’s hyper-focus on what’s new really changed a lot of that, and many sites got noticeably worse as they switched from focusing on growing a library of evergreen content to focusing on churning out new hits. Online discussions went through a similar process when they changed from forums to Reddit/HN style upvoting. I still have discussions on old forums that are over a decade old. After a few hours on Reddit or HN, the posts drop off the page and all discussion dies.

This doesn't sound right to me. Surely making an engine has thousands of different choices to make and thousands of rabbit holes to get lost in.
I like thinking about hypergraphs that continually rewrite themselves. I've thought about it in terms of literary critique, or in "compiling" a novel. It reminds me of petri nets in a sense, where at any given moment, a character has a static model of the world, which can be diagrammed through a causal graph of conclusions and premises. Then, an event happens, which changes their understanding of the world; the hypergraph gets rewritten in response.

I've toyed with this with my own graph software when writing novels. It's of course impossible to fully document every characters' model before and after every event that affects them, but even doing so at key moments can help. I've wished more than once that I could "compile" my novel so it could automatically tell me plot holes or a character's faulty leap in logic (at least, one that would be out of character for them).

I've also tried the more common advice of using a spreadsheet where you have a column for each character, and rows indicating the passage of time. There you're not drawing hypergraphs but in each cell you're just writing raw text describing the state of the character at that time. It's helpful, but it falls apart when you start dealing with flashbacks and the like.

It is possible to make quantitative statements that I think capture many of the intuitions you assert. Here was one attempt:

The electric utility in my area is this bad and worse. I once reported a power outage when the power wasn’t actually out (explanation follows) and they had no way for me to cancel the report when I realized everything was fine. I tried calling but couldn’t get past an automated “we received your report and are working on it” message.

(Why would I report an outage when the power wasn’t out? Our lights blipped and my whole-home battery backup system kicked into action and showed a “grid outage” message. I checked it a few minutes later and it still showed the same status, so wanting to be a helpful neighbor, I reported it. I found out later that the battery backup system stays off-grid for five minutes following an outage of any length, even just a blip, I think as a debounce protection. When the utility trucks showed up, I told them what had happened and that their system wouldn’t let me cancel the report, but they were just glad to have a break from running around dealing with outages nearby, so they stayed and talked for a few minutes, curious about the battery system. Nice guys.)
