Isn't this article advertisement by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)?

(edit: I have actually been thinking in similar terms as the article, but I do think the article is optimistic and utopian, as if a good intuition would be enough to prevent the very same forces from exploring the reform

This refers to the era of COBOL, or maybe Hypertalk, not LLMs.

so the point of this is to give more power to the algorithm (since it includes unintentional autoplays) and less power to the people who upload the videos?

If we discovered a civilization of moderately smart pandas living on a remote planet and dropped the AI technology onto them, what would happen to their civilization? And what's our motivation?

Most developers are paid more than 2x the median wage. For HN, that difference is probably 3x-5x or more. If class consciousness is on the rise, HN's readership is in the classes that the lower economic strata are going to be rising up against. If you have any illusions that the proletariat will welcome you with open arms for your claimed solidarity, think again or you might be in for a shock; specifically, a short, sharp shock.

why should it be straightforward to establish that?
