Considering they don’t pay moderators, I don’t think they do.

Because they want to replace the complexities and pitfalls of human relationships with something compliant that they can fuck without it asking for anything in return.

Yep, and a lot of reddit is thinly veiled shitposts, bots, and uncredited karma whoring reposts of stolen content (the commercial AI companies should feel right at home here). Some of them are to anger the self righteous redditors who come to PC police anyone who dares speak against the far left zeitgeist. But most importantly, so, so many of them are just for the lols.

The scariest part is that those drawn out, apparently accurate but actual nonsense posts/comments, is how many of them end up near the top, with massive numbers of votes from those who think “well that sounds reasonable,” but know nothing of the subject itself.

Semi-related: I really loved the shitposts where the guy would tell an elaborate story, and end it with his dad beating the shit out of him with jumper cables. Now that’s quality reddit content.

There are many, many, many things posted as fact over the years on reddit that are not only untrue, but dangerous or even deadly in the case of some of the most idiotic advice given. I wish good luck telling them all apart to the poor 3rd world contractors the big commercial AI companies exploituse to “train” their stochastic parrots.

Since half or more of reddit is now bots and shills, I don’t imagine the training data is going to be great. That’s fine, Gemini already sucks, so it’ll be hard to make it worse.

If it breaks, you can just sell them more 🤷‍♂️

Surprisingly? Not sure.

The AI is what was fed into it 😂

Good, so let’s train crappy AI on posts by crappier AI, which was trained by posts from even crappier AI before it.

You could easily make a minor change that negates every single other fact.

Yeah it’s started inserting “totally not advertisements” like “take a left in 300 feet, past the McDonald’s”. More enshittification.

Couldn’t have said it better.

But I am a stick!

Literally downvoted for the truth about the cuts. They’re still above 2020 head counts.

However, there is still a huge shortage of tech workers. Just because huge companies do layoffs doesn’t mean the overall hiring demand is down. Those handful of companies aren’t the entire economy.

I am a stick.

It’s Slaughterbots. It’s on YouTube.

Payouts for the deaths would just be a cost of doing business.
