When there's an organic-looking decline that seems like a good sign, but the sudden sharp drops seem likely a sign of "corporate oversight" and not an actual improvement.

This seems contradictory. On the one hand you're saying that these works are wrongly locked behind paywalls, but on the other you're saying that scraping them is an "assault on the cornerstones of our public knowledge." Is this information supposed to be freely viewable or not?

IMO the ideal solution would be the one Wikimedia uses, which is to make the information available in an easily-downloadable archive file. That lets anyone who wants the whole thing to have it without having to "hammer" the servers. Meanwhile the servers can be protected by standard load-balancing and DDOS prevention systems.

How do you do that without screening calls through the AI.

You don't, which is why they're planning to try using AI to do it.

I honestly don't understand why you're asking. It's like there's an article about how a transportation company is investigating the use of teleporters to improve their delivery time and someone's responding with "but how will they do that without teleportation?"

Did you read the article? The reason they're looking into this is because they're not able to run an excellent human 911 service, they can't hire enough people to handle the volume of non-emergency calls that are coming to the emergency line.

It's the Register, ranty articles written like a teenager is kind of their brand.

Damned illegal alien criminals. They're not sending their best.

On the one hand, I hate seeing people scammed.

On the other hand, it's nice that they have less money to spend on political donations.

That's what the test will ultimately determine.

And next community over there's yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, who continuously illustrate the capricious and hateful nature of many human moderators.

I say give AI a chance at it and see what happens. If it works, great. If it doesn't, people will just go elsewhere.

Unlikely. AI is cheaper than humans, that's the whole point. And you have no idea how well it'll be able to do the job. Neither do they, which is why they're planning a test first.

The problem with that kind of thing is always "who decides what's hate-filled and false?" If there was a Federal government mechanism for that in the United States it would now be in the hands of Trump and the Republicans.

What is the point in posting an article when nobody's going to address the contents of it?
