  • Reddit's licensing deal means Google's AI can soon be trained on the best humanity has to offer — completely unhinged posts

  • They have almost definitely archived data and around the time of the API bullshit, made sure they didn't delete those archives. They have that content if they want to use it.

  • Just because a tool exists doesn't mean it's particularly good at what it's supposed to do.

  • They're almost definitely trained using an archive, likely taken before they announced the whole API thing. It would be weird if they didn't have backups going back a year.

  • You absolutely can refute it. Just ask for proof.

  • It was already established. It's just a theoretical framework in various social studies. It was deliberately bastardized by the right as they were seeking something to hate. It wasn't even in the public consciousness, just something academics used and that get taught in some higher ed classes. It's a very useful framework but it's not something that you'd actually teach a kid.

  • Assuming you're talking about the Azov Batallion, if you are fighting a war for your country's survival and you have a rabid band of ethnonationalists, who clearly suck in terms of their views and beliefs, but are otherwise willing to die to protect your country, why wouldn't you let them?

  • Because they made the cost of adding a household less than the cost of two accounts, then banked on the fact that people wouldn't want to "screw over" whoever they were sharing a password with. It was a good business strategy, if shitty consumer practice.

  • Tobacco use declining despite industry interference: WHO

  • I'm glad they're helping you kick cigarettes. Vapes are an addictive nicotine product, they weren't created to do anything but get nicotine into people of all ages.

  • Vaping is not intended as a smoking cessation product, it is a cigarette alternative. It happens to help people quit cigarettes, but the tobacco industry does not give two shits whether it does or doesn't. Vaping is addictive and still pretty bad for you.

  • A hypothesis is "I think x is true" or "x will happen if I do y." It is a conclusory statement based on existing knowledge that then has to be proven and is one of the first things you learn to do in science. Asking "what happened to x" or "what is x" is not a hypothesis, it's an open-ended inquiry. While both are useful, the hypothesis is specifically part of the scientific method. You're proving or disproving smaller conclusions to answer a broader open-ended inquiry.

  • Reddit Falls Short of Ad Growth Targets Ahead of Likely 2024 IPO

  • My old one? It's a good question and I have actually thought about it. I have a lot of inanity on there but some (I think) decent replies to people trying to be "reasonable" fascists, racists, misogynists, etc. if that makes sense. I'll admit I mostly posted news articles I thought were interesting, though I would regularly participate in the discussions for those articles, but those articles frequently got a lot of traffic. So I guess there's two problems with nuking the account:

    (1) If I delete all my comments, you end up in some cases with what looks like someone deleting their response to a bad actor, leaving that bad actor not only unchallenged, but looking like they "won" the argument, and

    (2) If I delete all my posts, I remove from public view the comments of (at this point) likely tens of thousands of people, if not more given how many high karma and high participation posts I submitted, many of whom might not have wanted me to do so.

    I have so many of both that it'd be a massive pain to go through and selectively delete stuff. Easier to just leave the account be and never use it again. Deleting the account just means it's anonymized, which can also invite bad faith.

  • It is, there's a lot of highly specific knowledge on Reddit. It's still a resource.

  • Did they? I had one of the top non-porn accounts actually run by a person (most high karma accounts use bots, I didn't out of ironic laziness) and I haven't posted or commented since whenever Day 0 was for rif is fun. I've been back a couple times for very specific things but not logged in or participating in any active way. Of course, I'm just one (high karma) data point, but I really don't think I'm unique in this. I also have no real desire to contribute to Reddit again in the future. Getting off of it has been pretty nice.

    Look, it's not that people aren't still posting, the site obviously still has content, but it really is just "content." The quality of discussion I've seen has gone down pretty steep. Modding appears to be almost nonexistent in big subs or very agenda-driven otherwise. I think a lot of contributors who treated Reddit like old school forums have left and it's slowly turning into a weird combo of Facebook and 4chan if that makes sense. If that's what the userbase wants, go for it, I guess. But that's not my jam.

  • Israel has nukes and is run by nutjobs. They won't use nukes in Gaza, it's too close to Israeli cities. But there's no telling what they'll do the further away a conflict gets.
