  • You don't have to welcome them, just don't tell people they're not welcome.

    Besides which, they didn't say they support profits over human welfare. They said that corporations will always maximise profits.

    Yes, they could have delivered this pearl of wisdom in a more digestible tone, but what they said is true nevertheless.

    Its a bit silly to think that a company would leave potential profits on the table.

  • Sure, but it's also "stupid" for governments not to take a tougher line with them.

  • Don't do that.

    It's fine to not like comments and commenters, but telling people they're not welcome is something else.

    The fediverse is already pretty homogenous, we could do with some dissenting opinion honestly.

  • On the contrary.

    We are in agreement that what's happening is not malice, but incompetence and greed.

  • Its nonsensical.

    If the billionaire class wanted everyone dead they wouldn't do it with measles

  • Of course we have them, but the ratio will increase as user numbers rise.

    Federation does not protect us from these issues in any way. In fact it's very susceptible to misinformation through federation.

  • More users also increases the appeal for bots, purveyors of misinformation, trolls, and assholes generally.

  • Yes but more users doesn't necessarily make a spoon collecting community more viable.

    Am easier pathway is to encourage existing users to visit this type of community.

    Additionally, consider carefully whether the fediverse can support a spoon collecting community, or perhaps you should just post about spoon collecting in the general "cutlery collecting" community.

  • More users is not necessarily more better.

    ... but I do agree there are very few active communities.

    The focus should be on making the fediverse the best it can be, rather than focusing on attracting users.

  • Well, what were the US objectives?

    I guess everyone stopped talking about Epstein so maybe that was the win.

  • The lot of them are creepy and weird.

  • You seem to have misunderstood, and the article you linked doesn't contradict what I've said.

    Wealthy, sophisticated LLM developers would not have been scraping old reddit. They would pay reddit for API access.

    Shutting down old reddit closes the door on back yard developers, not OpenAI.

    Additionally, when you run a prompt in a chatbot, it doesn't scurry away and scrape old reddit and then formulate an answer. The scraping of content is going on while the model is being developed.

  • OpenAI would not have been scraping old ui?

    Also most reddit content has long since been injested. No need to visit your http site anymore

  • It depends on the software / configuration / script.

    In any sane set up, if the user fails to navigate the menu n times you get dumped to an operator. 0 or * or # aren't special hacks, you just need invalid navigation.

    I imagine what you have noticed is that increasingly there just isn't an operator to talk to, or at least the org you're calling really doesnt want to talk to you, so this kind of navigation failure just dumps you back to the start or something.

  • No son of mine is going to marry a chat bot!

  • I had a call from a scammer using a chat bot or voice generator?

    Weirdly I was sure I could hear someone typing. I mean it would be trivial to set things up so the victim couldn't hear that.

    Regardless, it just didn't sound like a human. I mean it was good but it was definitely in the uncanny valley.

    Weirdly, it was obviously intended for victims to think it was human, but then at the end it said "I'm just going to transfer you to a human operator now", and hung up.

  • I usually just press star or hash on the number pad a bunch of times

    • beep
    • I'm sorry I don't..
    • beep
    • I'm sorry..
    • beep
    • I'm...
    • beep beep beep
    • <on hold music>

  • Pathetic. What at embarrassment. Go paint something gold, fuckwits.

  • The basic truth conservatives can't concede is that we are all better off when we are all better off.

    If looking down on someone makes you feel better about yourself, then you want to hold people down so you have someone to look down on.
