Do other developers dream of an 'AI Curated' forum?

Thanks @don86326. In addition to scientific uses of modeling, simulation, and prediction in public-policy forums, one can also consider building lateral connections between discussion forums and connecting participants to contextually similar past discussions.

This would enhance organizational memory, organizational learning, and collective intelligence.

In general, “AI × forums” are interesting topics. I’m thinking about refining these unfolding ideas and sharing them and some of these use cases with others interested in advancing AI, forums, Web technologies, and standards. There are, in these regards, some exciting discussions underway:

P.S.: With respect to cliodynamics, finding patterns in history, and the United States government, there exists a theory, The Strauss-Howe Generational Theory, which describes a historical pattern, a generational cycle. Former Vice President Al Gore, who graduated from Harvard University with Strauss, called their book, Generations: The History of America’s Future, 1584 to 2069, the most stimulating book on American history he had ever read, and even sent a copy to each member of Congress.

Hi Adam,

And in regard to your AI x forum incentive… tell me how I may help out.

I will put your links on my read-soon list.

These are great ideas.

I noted that there has already been some movement since our discussion ^^

This moves more in line with paid subscriptions.

I am interested in what restrictions ‘community notes’ have if any and what AI will be added and how transparent that will be in what it does… Also if it can be managed on a per thread basis ^^.

Moving thread moderation to users and then throttling what interactions can happen between ecosystems seems likely the way forward, ‘buy in’ to AI supported discussion as a side service?

Not sure how this will affect services like Wiki or smaller forums/non-profit forums though.

Personally I don’t use Social Media at all but how it all links up matters to everyone.

Likes for tokens? :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :strawberry:

@_j is so everywhere in this forum, and with deep knowledge, that I actually believed in the first few days, that he could maybe be a bot. :sweat_smile:

@don86326, with respect to the AI x forums initiatives and helping out, here are some updates:

  1. There were some recent mailing-list discussions about computer-aided and computer-automated moderation with respect to the Social Web, the Fediverse, and ActivityPub.
  2. During one discussion, somebody shared that the Attorney General of the State of Missouri was developing a regulation pertaining to “algorithmic freedom”: https://ago.mo.gov/attorney-general-bailey-promulgates-regulation-securing-algorithmic-freedom-for-social-media-users/. Based upon that information, ideas were discussed including that end-users could make decisions with respect to the algorithms or configurations thereof.
    1. This might have more pertained to recommender systems and algorithms for sorting feeds of content items, but could also be pertinent to AI moderation systems.
    2. Computer-aided and computer-automated forum moderation services could be configurable to administrators, moderators, and end-users.
    3. Modular plugin architectures and extension systems were discussed with respect to algorithms, in general.
  3. During a discussion in another thread, decentralized fact-checking approaches were discussed – including both P2P-based and blockchain-based techniques. In these regards, some are looking into uses of AI systems, e.g., LLMs, for decomposition, decontextualization, and deduplication (as explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry3R7k6x1Pg (19m10s)).
