Apparently the word “don’t” can also be found redacted.
Because they did a regex for Don(.)T and didn’t bother to check

Activision does that with all their games now.

It’s the reason I won’t buy a new COD game.

See. The entire point of the OG HailCorporate was that even if it wasn’t intentional astroturfing, posts and memes can end up being ads for large companies.

It was eventually co-opted to be intentional astroturfing (partially I think to make the community eat itself alive).

But my point is that even if you’re not specifically astroturfing this still unintentionally acts like an ad for Mug root beer and shows how far advertising reaches.

When they raided Chicago ICE specifically stayed away from the really bad parts because they didn’t wanna get shot.

This is the one that pissed me off the most.

Dude ran a fucking ultra elaborate sex trafficking scheme and they label him the same way they would someone caught doing a petty crime.

No wonder Reddit has turned to shit

Jump

criss_cross @lemmy.world 3d ago

I mean astroturfing reddit was never new. It's why /r/HailCorporate existed and tools tried to disenfranchise that sub so much.

It's just 10 times worse because of the phenomenon you described. It also doesn't help that reddit and walled garden social media killed traditional forums so you don't have those to index anymore either. You either have SEO garbage sites trying to bombard you with ads and referral links, links to a walled garden you can't actually see, or reddit posts.

It's a cycle that's bound to repeat, especially with AI. Because that's how MBAs and snake oil salesmen get money, by ruining communal spaces.

Melania Trump is a scowling void of pure nothingness in her ghastly film – review

Jump

criss_cross @lemmy.world 4d ago

You can tell they were having fun with this review

The “film” is part propaganda, sure, and part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings. Even then, it is bad. It will exist as a striking artefact – like The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will – of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly. Organising plans for his return to the White House at 2am, after the Starlight Ball, Trump announces he will immediately “begin straightening out the nation”. “We’re all very grateful,” his event producer whimpers sycophantically. It is a visceral moment where audiences, around the world, will begin to taste the boot that the American establishment so blithely licks.

Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are)

Jump

criss_cross @lemmy.world 4d ago

I feel that.

Even in my current job they’re pushing us to use chatbots and LLMs even when it doesn’t make sense. There’s a lot of people hoping for the mythical productivity boosts that snake oil salesmen are shoveling. Going to the point where they see a future where “you check in prompts to source control because LLMs will be so good at translating those”. Which is batshit but you gotta let c level people learn this the hard way and fire everyone else for their mistakes.

As a full time software engineer you’ll get a lot more out of learning how things work, even in the short term, if you properly learn the craft.

Otherwise when something deals you won’t have the tools to debug it. When the work LLMs are great but if things go haywire you wanna be able to stop and triage yourself.

When you know your boss is an insane moron

I’ve never had a manager complain about leaving a few minutes early.

It destroys more good will and motivation than the theoretical 40 hour a month. I say theoretical because the odds of anyone getting anything done in those 3 min are astronomically slim.

That employee is never going to stay later to help with anything if they don’t have the wiggle room to leave a few minutes early.
