alt Hacker NewsHi Dan, you know how sometimes comments get moved elsewhere?
This is a huge ask, but any way we could get the comments organized in a "experience with model" vs. "meta commentary" fashion? The meta is overwhelming in this one.

We try to do that informally but of course the quantity is overwhelming. It's a natural place to experiment with AI classifiers, and we'll eventually get round to that.
So far, the top half of this thread seems to be about the current release - that's after some of the manual moderation I just mentioned. (Basically, we try to downweight generic subthreads until the top subthreads aren't generic any more. There's certainly a place for generic tangents in curious conversation, but they should be lower on the page, and tend to get upvoted a lot higher than that.)
If you (or anyone) sees a counterexample, i.e. a generic subthread in the top half of the thread, it would be interesting to see a link - we can treat the current case as a datapoint.
