Yes, USA. I was thinking of Google Play purchases when I first left the comment (which definitely has confirmation)

But maybe that's because I'm in EU?

Enabled by default as far as I can tell. I don't know anyone whose kid has done something like this and there's no way none of them tried.

Nevermind, I see that it was Amazon so I went and checked the app (not a frequent Amazon shopper). No verification, you can just click Buy Now

If openai kept buying reddit data after 2022, they are idiots. They let the cat out of the bag.

Bot activity brings "engagement" which generated more page views from actual humans. Literally the only downside of this announcement is the optics of having bots in the first place.

The bots were already indistinguishable from humans on reddit, do you really think that this recent scrutiny is going to lead to fewer bots? Or might it actually lead to better bots?

Is it? Reddit has been full of bots for years.

And if the r/CMV thing didn't make it apparently, the recent wave of them weren't "caught in the act" and only became a "problem" when the researchers announced their shitty experiment.

If realistic chat bots can fool the masses, why on earth would reddit get rid of them? It helps their metrics. "Look at how active our site is! Buy stock!"

No they won't lol

If they didn't do it already, it's not gonna happen now. This is lip service to the shareholders

If they stretched their releases out instead of trying to keep a marvel movie in theaters every month...They clearly weren't thinking about "superhero fatigue" when they flexed their marketing budget.

Reading all that was a good reminder of why I stopped shaving...

Or he's just shitting on other companies who he knows are too greedy to do the same. Proton is getting positive press for this and he's leaning into it with a bit of hyperbole

Not saying he's a genius or anything, he's just a spokesperson doing spokesperson things

Hey non-Americans, fun fact! If you have a baby here, you can expect $15,000+ in hospital bills.

$5,000 should cover that, right?

Have you ever used a comma before

It's short for "smith"

0/10 troll

Nothing :)

I'm just glad to read that SOMEONE cares enough about the legal system to shut this down

I'd be quite annoyed, too, if a law firm kept wasting my toner and bandwidth with furry art

New Chromium framework for browser extensions that severely limits their functionality. It neuters adlockers.

Frostpunk 2 is great. I think it's way harder than 1 but maybe that's just because I haven't sunk nearly the same hours in
