RE: Curating the Internet: Science and technology digest for January 19, 2020

Regarding bot speech, it's basically just automating paid shilling, which long ago has effected most of the harm being laid at the feet of bots today. Most of the solution has long ago been prevented, so corruption could fruit verdantly. The bulk of the solution is to not politicize things that don't need fixing, or should not be handled en masse because people are sovereign. Politics is simply deeply overstepping it's proper bounds, and long has, because power makes it possible to do, and profitable.

As to bored students, given that public education is basically indoctrinating kids to become obedient servants of a ruling class, it doesn't take AI to diagnose boredom. The problem is the duplicitous purpose of public school, government, and the ongoing deprivation of free people of their social function and purpose. I'd love to see a bot/AI undertake that job.

Thanks!
