RE: Programming Diary #40: Spotlight on reliability, security, and fairness in the Thoth project
It would be interesting to see what would happen if the Steemit team ran Thoth as a curator of the month with their own account and stake for a few months. ;-)
I hadn't considered that. Definitely worth an application as it's different from the Status Quo which is what the platform most definitely needs!
Although - the perception that the Steemit stake is a delegation service is perhaps a step too far.
Of the four active ones that I knew at the time, I see that three are still active with posting now.
It's interesting - none receive much in the way of interaction at the moment.
Yeah, after years of near-zero engagement, I'm sure they see it mostly as a link-dropping platform at this point. skycorridors used to reply to comments on her posts here, but I think the last time I left a comment to her it went unanswered.
OTOH, last I knew (years ago), Hive whales were actively downvoting her.... so I guess it could be worse. ;-)
It might be, although they could set their own rewards to zero if they wanted to offset that criticism. (that wouldn't be my recommendation, though)
My guess is that the JS announcement back in January pertained to a Tron-developed LLM that was going to be connected to Steem, and based on his subsequent post a week or so later, I guess it was a disappointment. Assuming that's right, and if they ever get that model up to snuff, Thoth could provide a good way to showcase it. If they use the OpenAI format for their API, it's probably easy enough to plug in to their model.

I read the comments of the proposal to connect Steemit, Hive and Blurt on Hive and there are similar complaints there about an inactive user base. On the surface, Hive looks more active than Steemit but in reality, it appears to be a similar story to us where most content just gets ignored (presumably there's a lot of cross-posting so this probably isn't surprising). They also have the self-destructive tendency of just downvoting for fun, rather than for a purpose.
It wouldn't surprise me if we never discover what JS was really referring to in that tweet.

I think you're right, but I keep hoping...
