"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.

Reddit is announcing a huge shift: It's going to start requiring users to log in.

Right now, you can browse Reddit without having an account...

Huffman claims the login requirement is better for Reddit's user experience and its ads business and is "more protective of Reddit data." The "vast majority" of unauthorized Reddit access happens "through our logged-out experiences," though the company will still strike licensing deals of its data with companies, like the deals it made with OpenAI and Google in 2024.

I hope you enjoy seeing this arrogant fucker. This dude and his wink will appear every time a not-logged-in person tries to visit reddit soon enough.

I don't visit reddit. To the point where I use ublock origin to remove it completely from search results. Specifically because of what they did to third party apps. I left and I'm not going back.
