Baldur’s Gate intensifies
They must be accepting bribes arguments from taxi companies, or want to give the bike contract to this guy’s nephew.
it would likely skew left due to the nature of tech companies
What do tech companies have to do with it? TikTok is controlled by the Chinese government, which is about as far right as you can get.
I think the entire concept is damaging, regardless of who is on there. It’s all one giant marketing engine. People aren’t making those videos because they love it. They’re making those videos because they’re hoping to become financially successful doing it, which means selling out and shilling for products, which happens all the time in those videos. It’s a less obvious form of advertising, and it has a strong sway over people.
primarily though, even if they did work, that didn’t make him say all the crazy shit.
He had to say crazy shit because of the covid treatment that the deep state forced on him when he got covid.
Neato! Are they like regular corgis, but just grey?
Cute pupper. He does look quite different than the posted dog though. Is it the same breed?
This must be AI
“Give me a photorealistic picture of a wolf combined with a corgi, and give it a silly sounding name”
You just toss the cat into the litter box after setting it up and they’re like “this is fucking rad, dude! Thanks! Now leave me alone to do my bidness”.
That bunny has a better living space than I did all through college.
I have the keywords politics, trump, Biden, Harris, Republican, Democrat, Israel, Palestine, and a bunch of other shit blocked, and I still see way more of it than I’d like. The amount of political content is fucking staggering, and you cannot block it all. I know, I’ve been trying for a year now.
Musk himself said there are way more bots than he thought when he was trying to weasel out of buying the site. That was before AI that could solve recaptchas, and respond like a human. Imagine how many bots there are now.
What does he care if a bunch of people that he thinks are losers hate him? He’s sitting on his private yacht, anchored just off his private country club, and eating lobster in the hot tub. He’s a major world player now. He doesn’t give a fuck what reddit users think of him.
What do you think he would learn? He got like $190 million dollars in compensation last year, broke the protest, and only lost a small fraction of users. He doesn’t view the site with the same love that we did. It’s just a business to him, and he’s just a soulless executive.
Spez and his executives do resent the users. He’s on record making statements which make it clear that he sees the user’s resistance to monetization as a roadblock between him and his money. The fact that people built all of the content on the entire site for free, doesn’t matter to him. He actively hates them for not behaving in a way that gets him more money.
And AI. AI is a wet dream to a company like Reddit, Facebook, or Twitter. They can keep the appearance of an active and popular site indefinitely, stealing money from advertisers years before they catch on.
Very well said, and it was the trust violation which finally pushed me off of Facebook and Reddit. Reddit as we know it is dead, it’s obvious to anyone who used to use it. But AI is here, and it’s going to continue pumping semi-believable posts and replies for years, making it look as if the site is still booming. But the posts are vapid, devoid of soul, and almost always written with an ulterior motive to sell something or some idea. The Dead Internet is here.
Walt is always freaking out about something. Dude was way too high strung.
Pics that go hard.
