The Rebooted version of the social site Dig AI-exposed content is aimed at bringing back the consciousness of the old web at a time when the voices of true people are threatening to overwhelm the traditional social media platforms.
It presents the opportunity to create a social site for the AI era, where online communities create content and manage people who are given a bigger part for the success of a platform, the founders of the Dig think.
A web 2.0-age news sum giant, Dig was once Value $ 175 million At its height in the 21st, and now its original founder Kevin Rose and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian are being given a new life. Two people have recently tied the pair Declare a new vision for DigWhich will concentrate on discovering and enable the community, as the primary internet has allowed for once.
Talking in the Journal of Wall Street The future of all things On Thursday, the conference, the founders gave more insights on how the founders were planning to achieve that goal by reboot.
Initially, the problems they faced in the days before the two social media touched the Ohanian, remembering how he chose to resign about the company’s views on the hateful speech of the Reddit from the board of Reddit to resign to the society and business.
For example, the company was giving a permission Reddit on forum call He said that “R/Watchplide” was to continue to manage the Christian mass shooting, which caught the attention of the media, he said. It’s then that Reddit Decided to adjust its policies Violence on the platform and around the gore.
After Reddit went to Ohanian Venture Capital Farm found seven seven sixWhere he says that he has focused on creating a business that is more “standard”. He said he sees Dig as another step in that direction.
He is reflected in the first days of machine learning, where the technology was often used for the rewards that people were concerned about “the most vague, kind of Franz-yi strange”, “he said.
“Sometimes it may be good, but often it presses the really strange agendas and and it doesn’t even enter the whole bot and AI that is pushing these agendas,” said Rose.
With Dig, the founder is not AI or Bots, not to create a new community by focusing on serving the real people, they said.
The Ohanian referencedly said “I have subscribed to ‘dead internet theory’ for a long time Concept Most of what we see online is not made by real humans, but bot. Ten years ago, it was a conspiracy theory, but it changed with the rise of AI, he said. “Perhaps in the last few years – since we have passed the Turing Test – [the dead internet theory] A very practical thing. “
“I think the average person has no idea how much content they take on social media, if it is not a full bot, is a man using AI to make that content, manipulate and avoid the loop.”
To solve the rise of the bots, the founder is looking at the new technology such as Zero (Alias Z. Proofs), a protocol used in cryptography that can be used to prove something on a platform. They are imagining the community where administrators can turn the dials, so to speak, verify that any poster is allowed before allowing them to join their conversation.
“The Earth is about to be flooded with AI agents,” Rose mentioned, and it could infiltrate in communities where people are trying to establish a true human connection. Something like this has happened recently on Reddit, where Researchers secretly used AI Bots to pose as a real human being AI to a forum to check how AI can affect human opinion.
“We’re going to live in a world where the content we are seeing is in the vast, most sizes, some size or form, AI-made, and if the reason you come to a place is for a pure human connection, it is a horrible user experience, and it is not with humans or masked with humans,” said Ohanian, “Ohanian.
He explained that there are several ways to see if social sites are a person. For example, if someone has owned their device for a long time, it can add more weight to their comments, he advised.
Rose said that the site can also provide different levels of services, depending on which one is based on how many people can be.
If you have signed up with a Throw-Aoor email address and use a VPN, for example, you will only be able to get recommendations or to be involved in some simple ways. Or if you were anonymously and very quickly typed in a comment, the site asked you to take an additional step to prove your humanity – such as verifying your phone number or even if your supplied number is disposable, Rose told you to charge a little fee.
“We are about to be these layers based on how you want to be involved in the actual network and interact,” he confirmed.
However, the founder emphasized that they were not opposed. They use AI to assist in the region like the restraint of the site, with the D-Asclating situation where someone starts to cause disturbance to cause trouble
In addition to verifying people, the founder imagines a service where moderators and manufacturers benefit financially from their efforts. “I believe that the days of unpaid restraint by the public, all the heavy lifting for the creation of many million people-I think these people are keeping their lives and souls in these communities, and it is ridiculous to me not to compensate for them in any way.
As an example, how did he indicate Reddit “Wallstreetbates” has traded the term Which is the name of one of the forums created by the Reddit user. Instead, Rose thinks that any organization should assist these national creators who add the value of a community, do not try to own their work like Reddit.
With the experience of advanced user and a combination of a model that gives the Creator the power to cash their work, the founders think the dig itself will benefit. Ohanian said, “I want to believe that the business model that will make the dig a success.
