Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

    Yeah… no. None of that sounds appealing.

    ‘Curbing toxicity with AI’ means a bot is going to ban you because it doesn’t recognise sarcasm.

    And ‘new tech to verify your identity’ sounds like a privacy violation at best.

    ‘Verifying that you own a product before they let you post in its community’ is a complete lack of understanding of how people use places like this.

    Digg can fuck right off.

      While AI obviously is not perfect and is flawed in many ways, having AI sift through the torrent of comments and then flag problematic submissions for human review is likely going to be extremely effective with minimal false positives. Though I do say this as a person whose Reddit account is currently banned for 3 days for “inciting violence” because of a knife-based joke.

        I got banned from reddit last week for “threatening violence” basically because my comment contained the word “die.” It wasn’t a verb.

        Reddit is super aggressive with this shit now. If you say “Don’t drink bleach, that would kill you.” Their AI bullshit just sees “kill you” and bans you for threats.

        Site is fucking useless, don’t even bother at this point. It’s mostly robots talking to other robots at this point anyway.

        Ah I see someone else suffering the same shit as myself. Inciting violence for comparatives is what happened to me. No, neither side should celebrate violence. Human life is invaluable.

          True. Human life is invaluable. Problem is that we’re dealing with a lot of sub-humans. They’ve matriculated into the Republican party and chanted “Jews will not replace us” at Charlottesville.

          It’s not murder when you take an animal out behind the shed.

            Ranting about the untermensch to show how much I’m not a Nazi…

            If you really think Nazis are subhuman, you’re not going to be prepared to do what needs to be done when the time comes. These are human people. They laugh, they cry, they have moms and dads and brothers and sisters and husbands and friends. They look just like you or me, you bump elbows with them in the grocery store. You’ve shaken their hands, made small talk with them, and laughed at their jokes.

            None of that changes what must be done.

              They look and act human, true. But, they’re missing something (a soul?, a conscience? Empathy? A brain?), so that makes them an evil sub-human.

              Murder is a crime of 1 human killing another full human.
