When Reddit announced they would sell user-generated data to AI companies for training purposes, I went back to literally thousands of my old technical posts and inserted subtle nonsense in them.

They look legit, and a competent human being reading through them would very easily realize they're nonsense (you know, things like "Type taskmgr and kill systemd"). But AI doesn't, and I've already read AI-generated "help" pages containing some of the shit I seeded on Reddit.

So if you too want to debase AI, poison the well: it really does works.

I'm sure you won't if there's enough money to be made...

Today's TiVo is to TiVo of yesteryear what today's Sharper Image is to Sharper Image of yesteryear: a pointless company bearing the name of something great that used to exist for real.

How about if this one guys is 1 million times better off and he uses his insane wealth to install a raging fascist in the White House who ruins everybody's lives and threatens world peace?

I can easily do without the technological disruption this one guy, and all the other guys like him, bring about.

is fine if it doesn't create obscene inequalities and equally obscene psychopathic billionaires. If that's the cost of disruptive technology, I'm perfectly happy to hamper it.

I was about to say the same thing. It's really a sad statement on the state of processor development when the metric isn't an awe-inspiring number of operations per second but a depressingly high power consumption value.

Did you even watch it before running your mouth?

Someone should go to jail for this

Please, please call it MAGAputer.

and now, thanks to the collapse of the educational system and AI, we're boldly entering the age of vibe-reasoning.

What's RTO?

for when whoever designs the next flight augmentation feature with no redundancy finally does time in jail when the design kills people, unlike what happened with the MAX.

Redditors vs Youtubers.

Who will win? Will I have enough popcorn to watch this to the end?

I don't see ads on Facebook either, because I don't do Facebook.

If you pay, your data won't be used for advertising purposes. But rest assured it will be used some other way.

Because crucially, the one thing Facebook isn't saying is that paying will stop the data collection.

Of course, the best way to avoid Zuckerberg collecting your data is not patronizing any Zuckerberg site.
