As I said elsewhere in this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48522679) it applies the same to any religion. We've banned countless accounts over the years for flamewar against Judaism (since that seems to be the one you're asking about) and are not playing favorites.
I realize it's hard to see bad comments failing to get moderated and not feel like the moderators must have a secret agenda about the topic you feel strongly about. But this actually has a completely different explanation: we don't see everything. We can't read even 10% of what gets posted to Hacker News, and we mostly don't read the threads in sequential order—it's physically impossible.
In other words, if you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at [email protected].
As usual, terrible quality moderation. This post doesn’t cause flame wars and you missed like a dozen in this very thread that were posted before this comment.
As for missing other cases of religious flamewar, you may be right, because (as I just explained at ttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48524299) we miss most of what gets posted to HN. We rely on readers to bring the worst posts to our attention.
But I'd need to see specific links to be able to say anything specific, and readers would also need to see specific links in order to make up their own minds whether your assessment is accurate.
But they have such great AI generated insights on their AI stories:
"Many users praise Zhipu for open-sourcing GLM-5.2 under MIT with a 1M context window as a major step for accessible AI, while others respond with insults and anti-Chinese hostility."
I mean, it reads almost like an abstract of papers I've recently seen, with a similar info-cramming approach (somewhat like an editorial-SEO keyword bloat).
That's disappointing to hear, I remember the reboot news and thought they had a pretty solid team behind it. I guess gaining traction proved too difficult.
I actually found some of it useful. I saw some page where it helpfully pulled tweets from well known people relating to some story. So it’s not just some slop, or that’s how it looked to me.
which is hilarious because i was excited when i heard Digg was coming back. Many platforms are having a difficult time with bots, mass thread manipulation, etc. I'd be interested in a platform which attempted to fix that problem. I thought that was "so obvious" that i figured it was going to exactly be Digg's play. .. nope, just another AI play, as if we are missing those these days.
No idea if zero AI/bots is even possible, but at least an attempt would have me interested. A platform like Reddit/Digg of old, offering human connection, features aimed at less toxicity, etc.
It sounds like you got bitten by the dynamic I wrote about here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48467726: that is, using an LLM to process text for a limited reason (such as to improve its English) and then finding that the LLM left lots of other fingerprints, causing readers to perceive the entire thing as genai. We're seeing a ton of this right now!
In case it's helpful, here's something I've been saying when replying to emails:
We understand that our non-native English speaking users are in a special position with all of this, and we sympathize - but we don't have an easy way to treat posts differently on that basis. What we're telling such users is to please write in your own voice and don't worry about any mistakes, because those are rapidly becoming signs of authenticity at this point!
