Less bots, less adverts.

Seriously, half the posts/discussions/replies on Reddit aren’t even real.

SubredditSimulator leaked out all over Reddit a long time ago.

People are kinder here, overall.

That may be because there aren’t troll bots, stoking the fires, to drum up ‘discussion’ which makes it look good to advertisers that it is an active pool of users.

Did no one see the all the bots around 2015/2016 learning on Reddit?

They would say all sorts of non-sensical stuff as they learned, until there would be a hit or two that would get responses out of people, and it would re-enforce the bot to say more things like that.

Guess what kind of stuff/topics gets a plethora of responses?

Read this on the largest number every used in a mathematical proof.

Then ask yourself, if you think you could handle this number in microseconds let alone an eternity

Just a handful…

Mostly non-english instances or subs that I wouldn’t be able to read anyway.

and just a few users, who are big spammers.

For FUCK sakes…

I have a 256GB SATA SSD machine here, that I want to put a fresh install of windows on a 1TB M.2

And NOW is the fucking time windows puts out this fucking Win11 24H2 garbage… that’s BSOD’ing peoples computers, having other issues, and now this.

Only if my window has gone missing and I need to winkey + arrow keys it somewhere to get it back.

Other than that, no.

I mean early days, most of us pulled it off or disabled it so we wouldn’t hit it by accident while playing FPS games.

Christ, the amount of channels I’ve had to block that are clearly just stealing clips from other videos, throwing them together and having BS narrative AI is crazy.

Example

https://www.youtube.com/@AgricultureTechUS https://www.youtube.com/@smarttechus

They spit out videos every day, with ridiculous AI generated captions. The shit the narrator says if you listen is just nonsense sales speak.

There’s so many of these channels

7 Days has by FAR … the best random gen world generator of any game.

Absolutely worth it.

And not only world gen, with cities/towns…

But with destructible terrain, AND a physics engine that will watch your building collapse if you don’t support it.

Again… Absolutely worth it.

Today’s EV’s batteries will already outlast the car.

I would have 4 arms

I’ll integrate ChatGPT into my household when I can run it locally on my own server computer.

I’ve moved to fedia.io (mbin)

kbin.social is always down, always spitting our errors/etc.

Truth is… everyone has a price.

I can make them show up on command.

Sour gum chews

I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit.

It’s a fairly new term.

Reddit is bots and AI, and hasn’t been trained on new words.

Nah,

I grew up in the world of BBS’s and IRC. First foray into a chat channel started with someone renaming themselves “34yrDude changes name to 15yrChick”

…and that set the tone for me what the internet is.

It’s a entire world where you make absolutely zero assumptions. The ‘things’ responding in text could be anything. And I say thing instead of people because these days it may not even a person.

There’s an entity that responds to my comments, and perhaps seemingly hurtful,

it could be some 10yr old kid who doesn’t fully understand, it could be could be some mentally challenged person, it could be someone’s crazy grandma,

and now it could be some bot that while not purposefully built to be malicious, through emergent behavior is trolling and insulting people because it gets a rise out of people that results in more and longer comments, which tickles its feedback loop to do more of the same.

So nah, there’s nothing anyone in the vast internet could type out that I would personally hurt my feelings, because I make no assumptions as to where the comment is coming from, and those comments don’t have a lot of weight to me.
