I’m sure you know this and have heard it, but for the newbies you have to change your order to get more content. Switch between hot, top 6 hours, top 12 hours, subscribed new and overall new. In that order for me. I rarely get to overall new because it’s not addictive.

Same, I didn’t have a 3rd party app either. When it was super apparent that it was mostly bots, I used the exit of so many people to add to it. It was the best move I could have made.

Maybe? Didn’t seem like a sales job at the time, more like a warning. You could be right though.

I wish I could find the article. It was researchers and they were freaked out just as much as anyone else. It’s like slightly over chance that it “thought,” not some huge revolutionary leap.

I read an article that it can “think” in small chunks. They don’t know how much though. This was also months ago, it’s probably expanded by now.

Isn’t that the “new math” everyone was talking about?

Support Wikipedia! They’re awesome and are our backbone.

As a final step, the authors conducted a survey of 880 American adults recruited through the online survey platform Prolific and found that the content in the post-adoption period maintained the same level of persuasiveness as the pre-AI period. According to the authors, immediate action should be taken to mitigate the influence of AI-assisted propaganda campaigns.

There already is one that’s been going on a couple of years: https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]

And is on Ketamine and probably cocaine.

Is this something on their radar yet? I would think it would be easier to do it here because you could have separate accounts on many instances with even the same email.

I couldn’t find it going over all’s history, but I did find this fucking funny one. Musk is desperate and over-leveraged. The double finger “gun” is hilarious.

I like “Hot” and “Top Six Hours” myself. “Scaled” and “New” aren’t bad if you’re looking for more content.

They’re here, but they’re obvious when they post so they get buried. I’ve seen them make their own posts with built in upvotes, but real people just ignore it. It’s not that huge of a problem yet. I’m sure it will be when they build up enough accounts, that’s the only way they can get any traction at all.

Or even better- force people on reddit to make mandatory posts praising billionaires

I’m pretty sure they already have bots that do that.

Are you on VPN? If not, they have your IP address. They probably have a device signature as well.

I agree. I think the bad place had a warning page if it was deleted for violent or abusive content. Otherwise, it stayed up. Again, it might be different now though, I haven’t been there in years now.

Instance Mods and admins can’t just disappear people and communities without a trace, and trolls can’t make up stories of unfair moderation without bringing receipts and their old account name.

That actually isn’t true, they can disappear it for normal users. I’ve had things disappear at LW and when I called it out, the shitty admin dude went after me. Also, if you delete a thread, it disappears. That’s the one thing the bad place did correct up until I left, it might be different now though. They kept the threads up even if they shut down the thread. Now, it just disappears.

It’s more of a paint program, and it’s great if you have a pen and tablet. I haven’t tried out gimp for while, but it was more of a photoshop alternative at that time. I think Apple’s version of Krita would be Procreate, but Krita is free.

Krita.org does a nice job of showing off their work and so does Blender

They’re not flashy, but they definitely make me want to download them and check them out.
