Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn’t go as they’d hoped.
The mod team have basically decided that “Fuck Reddit” is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.
Presumably, we’re about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p
“I love everything that STEVE HUFFMAN is doing with REDDIT and will stand behind him in any endeavor. In addendum, he does not look like a crack-addicted lemur. End statement. Please insert coin to continue.”
~feeds that machine like I’m playing Dragon’s Lair in the 80’s very poorly~
Dragon’s Lair, when you look back on it, was a corporate grab in the arcade world. Disney-level graphics when all the other games were 8-bit, and the worst gameplay ever in an arcade game…because it was made by someone who’d never set foot in an arcade.
The only competition it has for worst came later when that hologram game came later where you’re a cowboy shooting…Native Americans. Another turd that was all graphics and nothing else.
It’s funnier than that.
Oh man, you’re right! They literally tricked the AI into revealing itself! I love it!
“You see a turtle in the middle of the road, lying upside down. Do you offer it assistance, or leave it to die?”
It´s the second time I´m seeing bots being baited like this and it´s fucking hilarious. Is there someone compiling these? I’m dying
I can’t help but think of 4chan’s unofficial tagline of “trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls”.
The joke used to be that “everyone on Reddit is a bot except you”, but as that has become more a reality than a joke, it’s morphed into “text-AIs trolling text-AIs trolling text-AIs”.
A shame it doesn’t [t]roll off the tongue quite as nicely.
Am I also a large language model? Let me answer that with another question:
Do you remember that bit in The Matrix Reloaded where Agent Smith occupies Bane out in “reality”?
Haha. Nothing like that. I’m human. Honest.
I’ve taken acid then tried to use reddit in the morning. I felt like everyone was a bot.
