Optimize for positivity

One of the most transformational influence in my career (possibly unknown to him) had been my first intern mentor @abeirami and this kinda hits hard. It is easy to “dunk” on papers, and it is easier to kinda…be annoyed by them - but I guess, my point is, if you cannot help someone with the post/writing/critique, the content probably does not need to exist.

@linylinx @_akhaliq Optimize the "positivity" reward of your what you do rather than "engagingness" :-)

@linylinx @_akhaliq Doesn't allow reward hacking but the policy would generalize better over time!
