I suggested an HN version of dramacoin a few months back, it got one interesting, thoughtful reply, and one low-brow coomer reply: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35186653

I think it would be interesting if users could spend their karma on performing moderator actions, perhaps with some sort of algorithmic exchange rate that converts acquired karma into modcoins.

For example, it might cost 1000 modcoins to pin an article to the top of the page for ten minutes. Or perhaps more of a bold change: 2000 modcoins to make the text of your comment glow with a golden hue to make it more noticeable. 5000 modcoins to display an image of Paul Graham at the top of the thread, smiling beatifically at all the comments below Him. And so on.

This would of course be of no interest to users such as myself who habitually generate throwaway accounts and discard them, but I would be curious to see how high karma users would use such a feature.

Yeah we have thought of a model where Karma is a measure of how much "marginal value" you have created for other users by your submissions. If we take upvotes as a proxy for value, we can calculate how many additional site-wide upvotes were generated as a result of you submitting your high-upvote-rate story: the number of upvotes your story received minus the number of upvotes the stories that were displace by your story being ranked above them would have received.

Then, we could allow you to spend a part of that value. That is, you can promote a story with a lower upvote rate, thereby decreasing site-wide upvotes by displacing stories with higher upvote rates. You would only be able to spend some fraction of the value you created, so that after you have spent all your Karma, the net value you have created for other users would still be positive.

Interesting idea, but this reminds me too much of Tinder.

Do you intend to offer an on-premise version of your product?

From a data security perspective, I would be very wary about granting access to our company databases to an online service such as this, but much more comfortable hosting it internally.

Right now this is a feature we are offering enterprise sized contracts. We have talked a lot about offering a self-hosted version for others as well though.

Completely understand the concerns around data security, that's not something we take lightly at all. We have other ways of accessing VPCs without having to poke holes in your network as well, including private links, VPN connections, and VPC-to-VPC peering.

How accurate is it in its responses?

Have you had any instances of it writing a load of bullshit to a user, and if so how did you address this issue from a technical perspective?

Never bullshit, but like any application built with GPT it does occasionally hallucinate. We published info on how we solved that problem here: https://medium.com/p/f3bfcc10e4ec

We've also made some improvements in how we chunk and parse the content to make sure the information it finds is useful, since we've noticed hallucinations tend to happen when the context you give it is irrelevant.
