No worries. It would be best to just repost that one in the politicalmemes community instead.

That’s how I’ve always interpreted it too.

I do envy their ability to take such big risks though (often because they have money to fall back on, I assume).

I’ve never been in a position to take a risk like that without jeopardizing my (and now my family’s) future.

It’s not something that’s unique to tech, but I read it as a joke about enshittification due to greed.

Lots of start-up companies start out all idealistic and positive, then don’t stay true to that mission as the founders age and want more (or sell out to a bigger company).

They might be using an app that doesn’t show display names. I can see it when on my PC, but this is how it looks in the Voyager app, for example:

You actually did it! What a legend.

It sounds like the robots still have a lot to learn.

Please be warned, that part of the text was 100% AI. I’ve never baked cupcakes…

It’s like a Pac-man / Ms Pac-man situation, huh?

I worry that it’s only better here right now because we’re small and not a target. The worst we seem to get are the occasional spam bots. How are we realistically going to identify LLMs that have been trained on reddit data?

That story is crazy and very believable. I 100% believe that AI bots are out there astroturfing opinions on reddit and elsewhere.

I’m unsure if that’s better or worse than real people doing it, as has been the case for a while.

This needs to be marked NSFW. We’re getting reports about it, but I’ll give a moment for OP to edit.

Edit - oh there already is a 2nd post. Removing this one then.

Assuming they’re telling us everything that’s happening on Mars, that is.

Honestly, even without social anxiety, not having to spend the effort to do basic small talk and engage with someone makes it pretty convenient sometimes. The only time I really use the cashier line is when I have a lot of stuff or my kids with me.

Is any other app out there able to handle streaming games to your friends as easily as discord?

It seems like we should probably be looking for the next ship to jump to…

Oh wow, in my head I pictured it starting around 2006 or so.

Community, IT Crowd, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Scrubs… The 00’s had a lot of great sitcoms. We didn’t know how good we had it.

It got so popular, had occasional Star Trek references, even a cameo by Leonard Nimoy, and I still couldn’t get myself to enjoy it. It’s such a a shame.
