"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Yeah, but now spez allows a full invasion -- and AI moderation dropping banhammers on "violent" users -- so that he would then sell off the data to anyone willing to pay him millions.
Can confirm.
One of my more ridiculous bans from reddit was "advocating violence" by joking about mosquitoes getting cancer.
Said I would slap someone for jump-scaring me on a video of a jump scare prank where someone was slapped. Permabanned. Even tried to appeal.
I got banned from a forum because someone was being racist and I called them out on it. HE IS STILL THERE.
I have used Reddit for nearly 15 years, and never once received a ban/suspension, until this past year when I've received 3, all triggered by AI moderation.
Not that I'm distraught over them, but it is annoying because I use Reddit specifically for niche sports communities that just don't exist on Lemmy.
And even those communities are full of bots, so I can only imagine what the mainstream subreddits look like now.
Yeah, he is a gigantic piece of shit. And he turned Reddit into a gigantic piece of shit.
Thats why Lenny exists
Spez ruined Reddit, and then gave AI the chance!
