You are ascribing a lot of human reasoning and emotion to corporate entities they they just dont have. Gratitude is not part of their decision making process. Instead, they might attempt to use past behavior to predict future behavior when evaluating an outlet for their marketing budget. They arnt going to prefer an outlet that occasionally burns advertisers, even if the benefited from it once.
For real. They already started calling for Ramaswamy to be deported, despite being a natural born citizen, but they wont touch the actual immigrant who possibly committed immigration fraud. I think just the idea that white people could possibly be illegal immigrants stirs up too many uncomfortable assumptions for them.
Well in this case it sounds like they executed a suicide bomber they could have arrested, which isnt great, but its not worse than slaughtering civilians.
Im going to guess its a proportional cost issue. Drivers take up a much larger percentage of the cost of shipping a ton of cargo by truck that the cost a human engineer on a train.
The problem is I dont think many of the accounts really care if their total account activity appears organic. They are mostly there to create volume, sometimes to puff up activity metrics, to amplify specific points and narratives, or simply to shut down conversation if it strays into the wrong topic. They know Reddit doesnt actually want to stop them, and the individual accounts rarely say anything interesting enough to justify human users taking the time to evaluate their post history.
Why? Everyone knows the Epoch Times is published by a politicized cult. But what exactly do you doubt here? Are you saying they are not launching crisis simulations? Or maybe that they dont actually face escalating pressure from Beijing? Is maybe the is quote inaccurate? What exactly is the question here, or is this just pointless sealioning?
It makes sense that a vote based platform, where users encounter direct positive and negative reinforcement with every interaction, would tend to developing repetitive conversation patterns over time, even if it were populated entirely with humans.
I would bet the actual number of active bot accounts is probably lower than many people think. Maybe 20-30%. Those accounts are more active than humans though, maybe accounting for half of all the posts. Many of these bots arnt even proper LLMs, they are just scripts recycling generic comments, catch phrases and old memes and upvoting each other endlessly.
Sorry, Im pretty sure thats all were likely to get. The way things are going well be lucky to have public schools in 20 years, let alone a bunch of new publicly funded community spaces.
Like when he was president last time? Money isnt power. Power is power, and if the country falls far enough into autocracy, anyone who forgets that can take the fast elevator down from the 40th floor.
If they were going to deliberately target passenger airliners they wouldnt do it over their own soil. This is a major embarrassment that reflects poorly on the quality of their equipment and personnel.
We know that there was a Starfleet regulation preventing their service without special dispensation. As far as discrimination, its probably that they looked too much like humans. The Federation isnt quite as enlightened as they like to think when it comes to their own prejudices and bigotry, as shown by the likes of Data and the Dr.
Lots of Federation species engage in augmentation, Denobulans for example are extensively augmented. Its just humans that think it will inevitably turn them into monsters, sort of like Vulcans and emotions.
Just imagine the game of telephone you could get going for target tracking.
