Fucking delusional on this writer’s part. It was far more than dozens and a lot of those people were power users with an outsized influence on the community.
I personally moderated two 150-250k user subs. Stepped down from both and wiped all my posts and comments and have not contributed a single thing since.
The specifics of this article aside, I am so not looking forward to the continued proliferation of AI based bullshit on the internet/public discourse/the media/etc. It’s gonna get so so much worse, we’re just scratching the surface right now. The validity of any photo or video will be destroyed and nothing will be trustworthy anymore. This is great news for fascists who thrive in a world where the truth is unknowable and meaningless.

I didn’t say either was good/better/whatever. Regardless of who’s doing it, if the news forums here just start posting full text articles like crazy, eventually the instance will get smacked down for it.
Posting a shit ton of full text news articles is gonna get the instance DCMA’d
Yeah I thought that was a pretty obvious attempt to ease people into it. So this news doesn’t come as a shock. If anything I’m surprised it took this long.
*unless you’re not a customer
Yeah unfortunately not quite what I’m looking for, but cool to see they’re there
I hope they get absolutely railed by lawsuits
I just hope the platform will expand into more niche content over time. The big topics seem to be news, politics, and some specific tech subjects. Would love to see arts/crafts/hobby related stuff take hold here as well.
That said, I do think a lot of the discussion happening here is pretty high quality and the place does seem to be improving over time. Time will tell. Hopefully more people wake up to the fact that reddit is not gonna hold up on the long term. I expect them to go IPO crazy this coming year and I don’t think a lot of the core users are going to like it.
100%. I usually post the gif of that but I was on my phone at the time
Whole lot of overthinking potatoes in this thread
That’s a shame
Yeah the salaries in Europe do not jive at all with the housing prices in major metros. At least in the US a STEM job is probably gonna pay north of 6 figures if you’re in a decent metro area. I live in the EU now and if I switched from freelancing for American clients to working a full time job here I would be taking a major pay cut to do it. The pay is god awful but rent is fairly comparable to where I used to live on the US west coast.
I’m honestly totally ignorant to whether they can be grown indoors at scale outside of their normal growing region, but that’s a good point to bring up.
Also helps ensure the drugs are clean. The US marijuana legalization process has absolutely not been perfect but the regime of testing for pesticides and mold is very effective.
If cocaine were legal and regulated you wouldn’t be hearing all these stories of people dying of fentanyl overdoses from doing shitty cut coke.
Your comment assumes everyone agrees ChatGPT or other LMMs/etc are a net benefit to society.
I’m on the fence about it myself.
They’re all special in their own way. Each one of god’s little miracles.
Yeah they jacked up prices and realized that while they may be losing customers, they’re still making more money. They’d need to take a tangible financial hit to stop this shit.
This same basic math is going right now at every other company that decided to opportunistically price gouge us.
