That is a possibility. Data from interacting with actual humans reduces the rate of model degradation. Maybe somebody does feel like they would get better results here. But they'd have to go to the trouble of sending requests to join instances and federate communities. It's not a whole lot of work but it's slightly more overhead for a website that gets way less hits than reddit as of now.
You're not naive dude, you're living in unprecedented times. It's sad to see people get jumpy at the idea that all of our interactions are becoming simulations of real ones but in some places it literally happened. I don't even fuck with instagram, facebook, or tiktok because I've seen the brainrot there that got created because the platform incentivised it. Stay curious and don't let the bastards grind you down👍
I came here specifically to get away from the chatbot daycare hellhole that reddit became. Share some of your insights about these accounts and I'll tell you a little about why reddit got so bad. Fediverse doesn't really offer the same kind of incentive to somebody who's trying to train an LLM on comments but who knows.
On reddit, the biggest incentive for people to want to train LLM's is just the sheer amount of data there. Reddit is insanely big and the karma system is basically a "weight" value similar to how neural networks already categorize info. Even if somebody notices the obvious bot account, enough people there will still interact with the bot sincerely that it gets the interaction it's trying to provoke every time.
Also it's easy as hell to set one up to run on reddit. Simply verify an email address, subscribe to r/newtoreddit and and bunch of other subs that don't require karma to comment, and then only give votes for the first month before finally starting to leave comments. Reddit claims to screen for bot accounts but deviating from this specific pattern of conduct is something that gets new users comments flagged for review. Reddit is actually only screening real people.
If you want to talk real tinfoil hat shit, this is probably by design. Chatbots drive up traffic and interaction not just with eachother but specifically with the humans that will also severely inflate usage statistics to look good to advertisers. the ones who leave comments following common "redditisms" and patterns of discussion over and over and over and never get sick of saying the same things.
Basically, I'm hoping none of these conditions exist here. So far doesn't seem like it since fediverse isn't hiding ads as posts, blocking VPN users, or taking such a heavy handed involvement in moderation.
imma be real with you, I don't want my ability to use the internet to search for stuff examined every time I have a mental health episode. like fuck ai and all, but maybe focus on the social isolation factors and not the fact that it gave search results when he asked for them
c'mon do it, you jilted sycophantic cuck. you were born to engage in political corruption, get burned by people better at it than you, than lash out at them in a tantrum fueled by your delusions of having conflicted morals. just do it
certainly numbers are in favor of it. I just think there's a little more to it than that. Osama B' for instance wasn't born, he was made with American funding to fight communists for decades. and he existed in a time before the current zeitgeist of manufactured consent.
just sayin, I think it's highly likely the Islam religion will embrace jihad as a more abstract spiritual vibe before they actually follow through on something like that again. like how leftists now do revolution as more of an affectation or how christians do thoughts and prayers to fix injustices in the world. as it was written in the ancient texts "do it or 'no balls'"
My fraternal acolyte in the mystical arts. If thou didst not desire a curse unending ye should not have consorted with inscrutable powers from beyond! Smh my head 🤦♂️
on one hand, harder to defeat them in a vote because they'd be way more visibly in touch with the incel crackhead core of their voting block. on the other, dude is at least environmentally concerned enough to try avoiding climate and technology crisis as long as the solution benefits/involves him. which is a low fucking bar but still an improvement.
too late for post-nut clarity, kids. he's not just a person he's a cultural moment y'all embraced and is going to take a lot more of a "well maybe he's not that great for the economy" to unfuck ourselves from. how about some introspection about why we're attracted to narcissists or so deeply spiritually moved by shitty tough-man antics? where's that political analysis?
perhaps you're right. I'm struggling with the mental justification of allowing myself to think that anyone but Americans can rid ourselves of him. but who knows. maybe it's okay to think that someone else will do it. here's hoping allah's greatest defender is out there somewhere, may he have the most violent brainworms that he needs for the Holy Justice 🙏 or whatever
not that I wouldn't love this win for religious fundamentalist posturing, it's not going to play out like that for Fruity Tootsie the Orange Teletubby. he's not the same.
