MODERATORS
Why the fuck is this getting downvoted?!
One spammer. Not sure their motivations. Plus one from someone who is either the operator of the spam bot, or just randomly caught up in this by accident.
some fresh users think that downvoting posts makes them disappear off their feed. No fucking idea where they got that idea from.
Huh, weird.
How can they downvote multiple times?
Those are all different accounts, the number at the end of each is different
Time for new glasses 🤓
This reaction from creators and artists doesn’t surprise me at all.
Hopefully this leads to a larger divestment in LLMs.
Banning data harvesting of Australian Citizens would also be a good move.
This is excellent news.
The bubble will burst within the next 3 years and our creative heritage would not have been subsumed and given away.
3 years! No fuck that. I want affordable computer upgrades before then. If they don't crash and burn in 26 I will be very disappointed. Everyone call your super funds and ask them if they are exposed to this bubble. Let's start the divestment ball rolling.
