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.

You’re making passive income from disability, a pension system that no longer exists, and owning 3 houses you didn’t pay for based off of programs no longer available to anyone starting out now. While collecting “market rate” rent (which conveniently always increases).

The disability, I’m fine with. My buddy had the same thing from the Marines and he more than earned the 100% rating, as I’m sure you and your wife did.

However, this whole thing where you’re talking about with retiring off of passive income… that was a LOT of words to say:

I’m a landlord

I really wish you would have said this first, because your long winded story about houses and “passive income streams” gives me the impression that you know the house-related part all boils down to being a landlord, and I get the impression you buried that fact to obfuscate it. You’re making money from other people’s work, in the form of the rent they pay to you (minus a small fee to the property managers), while doing literally no work yourself, as you explicitly explained.

It’s Slaughterbots. It’s on YouTube.

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

• 2 unskippable pre rolls that advertise drugs to treat the causes of the emergency condition
• 5 minute long explanation of the creator’s life story
• 1 minute long subscription beg
• 2 extended sponsor breaks with awkward segues
• first 30 seconds of content
• patient is dead

Well, you can make it social with a large drill bit through the stall walls.
