Could be the all the other costs go down when you get bigger which makes moderation look expensive.

But the fraud is shocking. Whenever I use Facebook I see two ads on the left that imitate UI elements from the site that point to an obvious scam. Watch YouTube? 3 scams in a row. And a politician who wants money. And a product I might want but I think it has to be a scam given the other ads. I can’t believe they aren’t in a place where the scams are lowering the effectiveness of the other advertising.

Was thinking the other day we should change the laws to make it easier to sue for damages for shoddy products and services, like you’d think an $800 phone that is supposedly the best there is would ring when people call you but no, it doesn’t.

@Cindy what are you saying, we love you

Here's another redline I've been thinking about (between center left and center right.)

The center-left believes that the precautionary principle is general. (Including Taleb, who's been its foremost advocate!)

The center-right's social compact has major carve-outs for AI, programming, engineering, and whatever billionaires and their fans are invested in. Systemic Fraud Tolerance is downstream of these carveouts--- which could well be the parsimonious explanation for these diseconomies of scale.

From TFA: lobster.rs -> healthily AI-skeptic, center left. HN, that-whose-political-stance-must-not-be-named

There's an odd one out, 3-D printing (replacing [trans]kepticism of biohacking). Seems like the people who want to regulate it tend to be center-right to right.

This threat of losing control of the means of production feels even more real than reproduction?
