Weird that not allowing people to use your site would lower the number of people using your site.
"People aren't coming to our website so we are going to make it harder for people to come to our website." - The dumbest motherfucker alive (and he's competing with Trump and Altman)
"by forcing people to come to our site by logging in, but making it hard for people to maintain thier prescence here."
It's just shitty that so much useful information is on reddit.
The first result is always "Why are asking us when you can just google it?"
I am trying to stop answering questions that I think are quickly searchable with "you have the entire world's knowledge in your pocket". It's been a long time since trustworthy information has been easy to find on the internet.
It’s like repeatedly hitting your genitalia with a wooden mallet and acting smug about it, if someone is asking for assistance.
It's ok. The AI companies will scrape it and spit it out for you.
Correction bolded, but it was sad that was my first thought too
The people that created that info can recreate it elsewhere
Maybe, but that's a lot of work.
also trying to not saying the drop is actually openAI not referencing the site as much anymore because banning people that were producing content isnt as good anymore. plus only going after the lowest hanging fruit of bots/spammers.
He's so unbearably dumb...
And permanently banning anyone that says anything remotely like what the advertisers don't like.
and those shadowbans has mostly forced people to just lurk. the serial ban evaders just adapt and make hordes of accounts as normal, although im hearing they are having a difficult time doing so.
And today in other news, more news at 8!
