"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I used to like Reddit, but I've realized that people are just giving their input/knowledge away so that Reddit can sell it. It is sad to lose Reddit as a helpful resource, but seriously, people should stop contributing to it.

When the APIcalypse happened and spez was whining about how much data everyone was taking from reddit, and when everyone was suffixing their search terms with "reddit", I Said I honestly didn't understand why Google just didn't buy reddit. spez has no vision for the company and is constantly distracted by the latest shiny - NFTs, crypto, AI. And Google needs that data, both for their search results and their AI effort. And I still don't understand why that hasn't happened, but I guess this is a step in that direction.

Google is trying to avoid regulation, buying such a large entity like Reddit might trigger regulatory investigations.

However, Reddit executives have noticed that traffic coming from Google has limited value, as users seeking answers to a specific question often don't convert into becoming active Redditors, the people said. Now, Reddit is engaging with product teams at Google in hopes of finding ways to send more of its users deeper into its ecosystem of community forums, according to the executives.

What does this even mean (I'm afraid to know their suggestions)? So I check reddit for an answer if web search is failing me, and they're going to somehow trap me there? Tease an answer and not show anything until I sign in? Idk but sounds like I'll be using "-site:reddit.com" more and more, or realizing I dont care enough to get the answer!
