Anyways, I'd like to say we are kind of agreeing. Not sure what caused that aggression. I do think of things in a product sense, but that is the byproduct (no pun intended) of my learning environment. If we are talking about philosophy, I should definitely read up some more. But, the capital T truth understandings majorly came from my observations of David Foster Wallace's book "This is Water". I will expand on it and circle back to improve my writing so it communicates my thoughts better.

I said I don't... And I said it's not to find it, but to essentially provide the reader with the data points to do so on their own. Like I said in the OP: I feel a definitive score is toxic. But, if it were to simply display the variables to look out for it can help make a objective decision yourself

Yeah that is completely understandable.

I guess it's less of the standard "AI" that you may think of that simply just thinks of something and outputs something. But, has multiple preprocessing steps prior to detection and then post. So for instance, parsing an article by its sentences and analyzing the subjective statements such as "I feel great about XYZ", would be flagged, while searching for statements that either back up such Claims with Data. Such as in the standard format of "Claim, Lead-in, Data, Warrant" in writing for example. Then, checking the data source recursively until it finds it is infact valid. Now this "validity" is threatening, because yeah that can be controlled. But, there can definitely be transparent and community led approaches to adjust what source is considered valid. Without resources an initial solution would be, creating a Person graph of these sources authors and/or mapping against a database of verifiable research repos such as JSTOR, finding linked papers mentioning the same anecdotes, or simply following a trail of links, until the link hit's a trusted domain.

Then there is also the variable if all the sources were heavily weighted onto one side of the equation, where the topic can clearly have valid devil advocates/arguments. This is where bias can come in. Post processing would be finding possible "anti-arguments" to the claims and warrants (if available in there store of verifiable sources). The point is not to force a point, but to open the reader's paradigm

I see how using "fact-checking" in my OP was pretty negative/controversial. But, there's no sense of control of what is "morally right" or what is the "Capital T truth" trying to be imposed on my part as a computer scientist. I strongly agree that computer ethics need to be a focus. Seeing your perspective was a great take to keep in mind. But, the passion is mostly driven by the black-and-white culture of online opinions, hence your point about agenda.

I guess it would only help for reading articles if anything. Or a comment that has a tone for informing such as "Actually, this is so and so because of so and so". But, I see your point.

[–] pexavc 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That is true. I am immediately thinking that creating an export of that data of some kind would be possible. But, it would require lemmy to understand this map or other apps as well. There could be a standard created of profile preferences in the future hopefully.

[–] pexavc 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that was an interesting shift in perspective. Good point

[–] pexavc 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah that is true, technology being the facilitator for teaching is still a shortcut. And a shortcut still kind of hurts the critical thinking.

Would it be alright if a client app handled this logic? Where you can sort communities organize communities in a folder like interface to customize your "all" feed?

I remember we had to build an obj-c wrapper for FB's calls like these because of these crashes, that basically ignored the stall and continued the user's session regardless

[–] pexavc 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks! I will let you know when the testflight is ready

[–] pexavc 1 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, definitely can try the font sizes. It should also make things dynamically resize properly to your taste

Since it's Native SwiftUI, it won't be cross platform initially. But, I can either try myself to maneuver into Kotlin effectively or someone can replicate it to Android with the open-source repo I'll publish with it/
