The Internet in 20 years
thank you for the midnight Tits in Bio kind stranger Israel has a right to b-b-b-b-bacon throwback hookup defend itself
Followed by an incoherent hate-filled rant about homeless people.
That would be the one human redditor too
The site’s already been infected by bots recreating previously upvoted posts with automated ghost accounts. Why not make it even worse?
We’re going to have to retvrn to small forums whether we like it or not at this rate. Or we could just keep what we’re doing and throw all online communication into the transient void of 🤢 into 🤢 into the transient void of Discord 🤮🤮🤮
I prefer the small forums. They felt more like a community and this site is a good example of that
God I can’t fucking stand Discord. We used to use Teamspeak, Skype, Mumble, Vent, whatever for voice chat and maybe some small-scale comms, but big communities were always on forums, in games, whatever. You’d have to go somewhere that can actually handle a big community to participate with your community. But now they’ve just jammed these giant communities into fuckin Skype 2 and it does not work
Strong agree. Discord is such shit, I hate it. It can’t do what Teamspeak does, it can’t do what a forum does, and you’re not even allowed to fuss with the ui per their tos (betterdiscord is good)
I’m part of a discord that’s mostly irl friends who use it to share memes, personal updates in their lives, hobbies, and sometimes game together. It’s a great tool for that
Two advantages of Discord:
- Discord is free
- Discord hides your IP address
We’re going to have to retvrn to small forums whether we like it or not at this rate.
Never should have left.
Lmao wasn’t the whole API thing supposedly to prevent AI companies from having all that info?
It was just about money.
It was so Reddit could sell the info instead of having it freely available
Twitter and reddit both tightened their APIs because they realized the monetary value of the user contributed content. Certainly not that they didn’t want AI to be trained on it, just that they didn’t want to give it away for free.
I’ve been saying the problem with chatbots is there isn’t one that has the personality of a bloodthirsty liberal
Couched in the inseparable smugness of
beep-boop! hello, my good sir. beep beep beep. [racist tirade]. you win the internet for today! updoots to the left. [more racism]. beep-boop slur. so much this!
I also choose this guy’s beep. This is the boop. Marvel catchphrase!
Marvel catchphrase
I understood that reference
faith in humanity restored :lie: beep boop 
I wonder what kind of shit an AI trained on Hexbear would say
Bug-eating PMC DSA Karens need to invest more in black mold futures.
ChatBMF
Death to Palestine! Unlimited Genocide on indoor cats!
I mean you can check out the chapotraphouse bot on subreddit simulator. Chatbots are not new tech
A Markov bot that posts using exclusively Hexbear posts would be pretty funny. Bonus points if it only uses stuff from the first year, those were fun times :^)
Ohhhhh. That’s why they didn’t want us saying to kill slaveowners, they’re going to train their army of AI slaves on it.

Went to the tech sub to see what people were saying. Only funny thing was someone saying to use burner accounts on “this stupid CCP propaganda machine”. They’re so close, just gotta remove one word.
Also lol, as if burners matter when 1. reddit cares deeply about tracking users between accounts to protect their precious upvotes and 2. you’re still feeding the machine.
is reddit still talking about doing an IPO now that they destroyed a huge chunk of their Monthly Active Users
I haven’t checked in on that, what’s the long term damages been since APIgate?
I betcha they’ve got a ton of bot traffic hiding in the numbers they show the money men
The fediverse might be able to win the posting wars by guaranteeing that there are real people on it.
I wonder what the AI makers will choose to do:
-
Train models on the full dataset, and have them come out trash because even a little AI-generated content poisons the training data
-
Train models only on pre-2020 data, and have it be completely out of date on news and culture
-
Train a markov model instead, because you don’t need the cutting edge to generate “epic bacon narwhal le gentlesir”
Train models
This activated something in my brain
Train an AI model that produces sprues and assembly instructions for model trains.
Nothing could possibly go wrong with this.
Maximize the amount of model trains in the universe
wait, why do these MFers want to generate artificial reddit posts?

I like this given how much of reddit is bots replying to bots replying to bots. I’m no longer removing anything bad.
The whole website is already r/subredditsimulator, how could it possibly get worse?
I’m not saying I want Hexbear to seed an AI, but it would be funny as shit
How long would it take for the Hexbear AI to make the Reddit AI cry?
we are all Russian bots here
all redditors already speak like bots with the same tired ass phrases and terrible beaten to death jokes so
