Dear NotHereToPlayGames! My post above is about Microsoft's topic:" Why are MSN comments so overly censored?" - so Not about our MSFN...
0 -
In MiniBrowser, DcBrowser and in 360Chrome forks, for DeepL Translator and DeepL Write to work, you must manually allow deepl.com in your uBlock (so s.deepl.com and www2.deepl.com scripts are allowed), otherwise you will get the irremovable warning window (in English or in your language):
"Please change your browser DeepL no longer supports Internet Explorer, so it may not work properly in this browser. For the best experience, please open DeepL in Microsoft Edge or any modern browser. Or Download DeepL for Windows Cancel Open in Microsoft Edge"
PS.
..and allow scripts too...

Thank you @UCyborg for this technical explanation.

I feel exactly the same about this MAJOR issue.
MSN comment threads are a total joke. Completely unfit for purpose.The pathetic algorithm simply does not work.
Today I have been forbidden to post a number of words on comment threads. I knew exactly which words I wasn't allowed to use in those instances by using a process of elimination and deleting certain words before trying again.
Here are some words which MSN would not allow me to use:
"You"
"Your"
"You're""You" - with a question mark after it.
"Digging"
The phrase: "May I ask?"
"puzzled"
"hard"
"difficult"
"wife""discontinued"
I mean, SERIOUSLY? ALL of these words were disallowed and ALL of those words were used in a polite manner in context with conversations.
We can't even have a conversation with any other community members to ask one another questions because this stupid system does not permit using the word "you" followed by a question mark 90% of the time.What is the point in offering a community interactive comment section to the MSN community when we can't even engage with one another?
And yes, Laurie is right. The links you provided to contact MSN are invalid and only send us back to the main page. Everything is just a total farce with MSN.I await your reply to this.
Thanks."

I don't mean to be negative but I genuinely believe you (and everyone else, including me) are wasting your time here.
I have sent so many complaints to MSN and have never heard any feedback once.
They are utterly useless."

In a nostalgic trip down memory lane, YouTube channel Nobel Tech has created a video showcasing the evolution of the infamous "This Program is Not Responding" Windows error message over the years.
The video starts with the prompt in Windows 2000 and takes viewers on a journey through time, ending with the message that shows up in the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system, Windows 11...

The real risks of OpenAI's GPT-4: https://betanews.com/2023/04/05/the-real-risks-of-openais-gpt-4/
By Tom Heys - Published 1 day ago
Excerpt from this article:
"The risks listed:
*Hallucinations (as defined in the document)
*Automation bias (defined as "overreliance" in the document)
*Susceptibility to jailbreaks (referenced in the document)
*Bias reinforcement (referenced in the document as sycophancy)
*Scalability (alluded to in the document)
Hallucinations
"[GPT-4] maintains a tendency to make up facts, to double-down on incorrect information, and to perform tasks incorrectly."
As a probabilistic LLM, GPT-4 lacks the ability to assess the factual or logical basis of its output. To avoid potential errors, expert human review and critical thinking skills are necessary. Additionally, GPT-4 has shown a level of persistence in its mistakes that previous models did not exhibit. It cannot be guaranteed that tasks requested of it will be completed accurately.
Ultimately, this risk of the model hallucinating is foundational to many, if not all, of the additional risks in the list. For example, the authors draw a direct line to automation bias, saying that "hallucinations can become more dangerous as models become more truthful, as users build trust in the model when it provides truthful information in areas where they have some familiarity."

etc etc... these comments are here, but not showing, not displayed, so why? I'm not the developer, so maybe someone will respond...
In other articles in Betanews website, the comments section works fine because the comments are generated using disqus.com (with betanews.disqus.com, referrer.disqus.com, realtime.services.disqus.com) and disquscdn.com (with a.disquscdn.com, c.disquscdn.com) - as seen in my uBlock... So why are all the Disqus scripts etc. not generated on this article page? I think I have an answer: these 135 comments are simply CENSORED by the site itself, probably on Microsoft's "advice"... and what do you think now?

But padlock is OK... or I'm wrong about the cause of the lack of comments. Maybe someone could kindly correct what I just said?

Machine Learning Expert Calls for Bombing Data Centers to Stop Rise of AI
He says that after AGI, "literally everyone on Earth will die."
/ Artificial Intelligence/ Agi/ Eliezer Yudkowsky/ Machine Learning
Image by Getty / Futurism
One of the world's loudest artificial intelligence critics has issued a stark call to not only put a pause on AI but to militantly put an end to it — before it ends us instead.
In an op-ed for Time magazine, machine learning researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky, who has for more than two decades been warning about the dystopian future that will come when we achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), is once again ringing the alarm bells.
Yudkowsky said that while he lauds the signatories of the Future of Life Institute's recent open letter — which include SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and onetime presidential candidate Andrew Yang — calling for a six-month pause on AI advancement to take stock, he himself didn't sign it because it doesn't go far enough.
"I refrained from signing because I think the letter is understating the seriousness of the situation," the ML researcher wrote, "and asking for too little to solve it."
As a longtime researcher into AGI, Yudkowsky says that he's less concerned about "human-competitive" AI than "what happens after."
"Key thresholds there may not be obvious," he wrote, "we definitely can’t calculate in advance what happens when, and it currently seems imaginable that a research lab would cross critical lines without noticing."
Once criticized in Bloomberg for being an AI "doomer," Yudkowsky says he's not the only person "steeped in these issues" who believes that "the most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI, under anything remotely like the current circumstances, is that literally everyone on Earth will die."
He has the receipts to back it up, too, citing an expert survey in which a bunch of the respondents were deeply concerned about the "existential risks" posed by AI.
These risks aren't, Yudkowsky wrote in Time, just remote possibilities.
"It’s not that you can’t, in principle, survive creating something much smarter than you," he mused, "it’s that it would require precision and preparation and new scientific insights, and probably not having AI systems composed of giant inscrutable arrays of fractional numbers."
There is, to Yudkowsky's mind, but one solution to the impending existential threat of a "hostile" superhuman AGI: "just shut it all down," by any means necessary....
