Yes, the community equilibrium is entirely different. On WP editors have little compunction about editing categories; here, I know vaguely that tags can be added (although I didn’t know that you could refactor them or remove them), but I wouldn’t do so because there’s no particular norm to do so. Who am I go to about editing matto’s post’s tags to break down world-optimization into something more specific?
Tags could be useful, but they aren’t now, and so they stay being not useful, and it’s unrealistic to expect anyone to single-handedly fix that when there’s like 10 posts a day and approaching 12 years of backlog.
A GPT-3 proof-of-concept will certainly be interesting. If it works, it could bootstrap useful tags on larger corpuses like LW. (It might be expensive, but it’s only money, and a lot cheaper than the expert LWer time it’d take; and of course, if GPT-3 works well, then perhaps a rival model like GPT-J or T5 or Jurassic would be worth finetuning to cut costs.)
