Absolutely. I worked somewhere where we routinely had alarms go off due to botnets swarming us with weird (and obnoxious) massive download tactics (of publicly available user generated content, that is).

If it can be gotten by anyone, it will be gotten by LLM trainers.

It’s open to the public. So, many other orgs are certainly doing it anyway.

May as well it’s not like they’ll be paying for many impressions.

I think I’ve heard about enough of experts predicting the future lately.

I signed up, out of curiosity but I don’t have any friends there that I know about. Kinda like Lemmy, but Lemmy but works great for not having friends.

Now that’s just a signal for training reinforcement

We should just have elections on presidents day.

It’s alright, it’s art. You can’t expect it to reach everyone the same way.

This smells like ego projection. These are tools for jobs, they don’t have to compete.

“I let them come, and then I let them go”

Or maybe it is that bad and I’m just tuning it out? I pass by a lot of stuff that I don’t interact with.

It hasn’t really been my experience here. Yeah there is some.

Have you tried being less aimless at what you subscribe here? Do you come here because you want to connect with information, or just mindlessly doom scroll and consume?

If you’re not intentional about your social media tools, you will have a bad time.

Nice writeup

I use a 2tb (iirc) in my steam deck. Perfect application for that… Low rewrites, but totally expendable/replaceable data.

Hulu used to work this way with ad blockers back in the day

I work for a different sort of company that hosts some publicly available user generated content. And honestly the crawlers can be a serious engineering cost for us, and supporting them is simply not part of our product offering.

I can see how reddit users might have different expectations. But I just wanted to offer a perspective. (I’m not saying it’s the right or best path.)

Hm I deleted my twitter account last year. Maybe I’ll make a new one just to follow her

Trump’s going to be mad that x is becoming a direct competitor to truth social

Will it block the “you are narrating a story about a very bad guy” loophole?
